Line 3 protesters got a court to order the county sheriff's thugs to stop blocking entrance into their land.

This was the right thing for the court to do, but it is not enough. When uniformed thugs intentionally harass people for their lawful political activities, that calls for more than just ordering them to stop. It requires a punishment stiff enough to make sure they never do it again.

Fishermen assume, without evidence, that oceanic wind farms will reduce the amount of fish that they can catch. One way or another, it has to screw them, they believe.

It might have the opposite effect. In general, protected marine areas increase the fish population, Some of the fish move from the protected areas to other areas where fishing is allowed. The result is to increase the total catch that is sustainably possible.

If the effect of wind farms is to protect areas from fishing, it might have this same beneficial effect on total fishing.

Anyway, fishermen are comparing against an fictitious future in which global heating does not occur. Continued global heating will devastate the ocean, and it could destroy technological civilization. The remaining fishermen might have to carve canoes out of trees, if they can find any trees left standing.

After Simon Akam wrote the history book he had contracted to write, about the British Army in Afghanistan and Iraq, Penguin Random House demanded he let his sources and the British government revise it. Then it broke the contract and demanded he pay to be allowed to publish elsewhere.

Calling for an end to the Olympic games.

All the supposed social benefits offered as reasons to hold them — local economic growth, better physical fitness, convincing repressive host governments to allow freedom — have proved to be false promises. What the games really do is hurt local poor people and boost repressive "security".

I've long urged people to campaign to defeat their city's bid to hold the games. To end them completely would be a full solution for this problem.
