*Dozens test positive for Covid after [250-person] swingers convention in New Orleans.*

To have a swinging meeting and avoid propagating Covid-19 must be very difficult — best to postpone the meeting until it is safe.

*UN secretary general: humanity faces climate 'suicide' without US rejoining Paris agreement.*

That statement is surely true. Avoiding suicide requires a lot more than the Paris agreement, but can serve a sign of intent.

Right-wing Hungarian politicians had a "gay orgy" after enacting laws to deny rights to gays. They are now being attacked for hypocrisy because of this conflict between their personal actions and their politics.

They are indeed hypocritical, but it is a mistake to focus on that contradiction, because it is a side issue and distracts from the substantive issue. Would those laws be any less bad if these politicians practiced what they preach? Not at all.

Their laws are the wrong, so let's focus on that.

G20 countries are giving lots of "coronavirus recovery" funding to fossil fuel development. $230 billion worth. All of it is worse than wasted.

One of Biden's advisers, Cynthia Hogan, *worked as a lead lobbyist for Apple as it helped push through President Donald Trump’s corporate tax cut.*
