The US government is considering breaking Google up into separate companies.

Would that do anything about the injustices of Google? Let's look at them:

• Snooping on its users actions and identities.
• Selling ads based on that data.
• Requiring users to run nonfree software to use the services.
• Pressuring users to identify themselves to use most services.
• Using DRM for distribution of some ethings.

I don't see how splitting up Google would correct these. Perhaps Google itself would not use the collected data as a base for advertising. Perhaps instead Google would sell the use of that data to various advertising companies. I don't think that would make that use of personal data acceptable and it would not help with the others.

Coal mines and gas wells in Australia seem to be underestimating their rate of methane leaks by as much as a factor of two.

*Endorsements from Republicans and CEOs won’t help Kamala Harris win.*

People who were Republicans in 2015, before the corrupter became that party's nominee, and who have not been sucked into his fantasy land, can be persuaded by these endorsements. It may cost the corrupter some votes. But they are not so numerous as as the Democrats who gave up on the party because Obama protected the rich from the 2009 financial crisis that was generated by those Republicans, rather than saving the poor and middle-class.

Some Indian states have passed laws to make it easy to boycott restaurants that employ any Muslims.

Clearly this is the work of Hinduismist party.

A museum in Britain that is supposed to be about science will present "stories" about the "afterlife" of dead animals on display.

The "stories" are constructed by bullshit generators,

and they teach religion and superstition under the rubric of science.
