Hinduismist violence is driving Indians to try to flee to the US illegally.

China is taking surveillance and control to a level that is shocking even by Chinese standards.

This may be justified for a national emergency that could potentially kill millions of people in China. But China won't get rid of all the new surveillance and control when the epidemic ends. Like the Olympic games (which a city can choose not to have), this epidemic can leave freedom permanently debilitated.

If a book about Hispanics at the US border is written by someone who doesn't have that background, it is likely to be based on stereotypes and therefore crap.

Thus, a concept of "cultural appropriation" isn't needed for criticizing such books.

The EPA approved glyphosate again.

This may not be as wrong as it seems. There is evidence that glyphosate is not carcinogenic by itself, but becomes carcinogenic when combined with other ingredients of Roundup. If that proves true, it might be valid to rule that glyphosate is not carcinogenic, and rule separately that Roundup is carcinogenic.

But I don't think the EPA is going to do the second half of that.

Roundup has other dangers, too.
