Urgent: Restore the Network Neutrality rules

mardi 16 janvier 2024 à 17:33

US citizens: call on the FCC to restore the Network Neutrality rules that the wrecker eliminated.

Climate tipping points

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 21:33

*Earth on verge of five catastrophic climate tipping points, scientists warn.*

These tipping points are not easy to reverse -- if they tip, small changes in the other direction would not tip them back. Perhaps large changes could do that, but we would have to cool the Earth a lot to achieve that.

The insurrectionist's strategy

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 21:33

Robert Reich: the insurrectionist has a strategy to dominate the election: by making a big nuisance of himself all the time, he aims to direct all attention to him, and that he hopes will people perceive him as powerful and perceive Biden as weak.

Some people will vote for whoever seems strong. They'd vote for a tyrannosaurus to threaten them. It seems that many Americans don't have a clear focus for deciding their votes based on which candidate will do the most good.

Water shortage

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 21:33

*Water shortages disrupt the Plaquemines parish as millions of gallons are used to construct Venture Global’s LNG terminal.*

(Humorous aside) It has also caused the encrustations on the teeth of corpses in cemeteries, which made possible the plaque mining industry, which gave that parish its name.*

Ohio woman miscarriage

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 21:33

*Ohio woman won’t be indicted for abuse of corpse after miscarriage, grand jury decides.*

I'm glad that the grand jury, a body of citizens chosen at random, decided to stop this persecution. But grand juries usually convict whoever they are asked to convict. We should not count on the next grand jury to save the next woman who had a miscarriage. We should make it absolutely clear in the law.
