Monsanto Manipulates Science to Make Roundup Appear Safe.

"Attorneys have cited internal Monsanto records that they say demonstrate how the company has manipulated and corrupted the scientific record with respect to the herbicide’s safety."

The UK continues the Tory cruelty of making disabled people destitute if they miss a welfare appointment (because, for instance, of being in the hospital).

"Even with major efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, 80% of the [Joshua] trees’ habitat will be whittled away by the end of the century."

Jeffrey Epstein appears to have committed suicide in his cell. Or perhaps he was murdered — it is not unusual for prisoners to murder prisoners accused of sexual crimes.

Epstein was accused of trafficking: bringing people long distances on false pretenses and then pressured them into sex or prostitution. He also reportedly raped some of those people. I believe those accusations, and I think he deserved to be imprisoned.

Some of his victims were legally adult. Some were teenage minors. I don't think that makes any moral difference. I don't think rape is less wrong if the victim is over 16.
