Art made by prisoners in Guantanamo, exhibited in Brooklyn, carries the message that they are human.

The US government, loathing this message, responded by banning all removal of the prisoners' art from the prison. The government will destroy the art rather than let it speak.

The US has the obligation to give every one of the prisoners a fair trial or release him at once. If there is no place to release a prisoner to, the US should create a village inside Guantanamo Naval Base where they can live as free men under US law.

An artificial intelligence might conceivably take over the world and destroy it. Corporations are already doing just that.

An AI might decide that all humans are superfluous. Corporations alone, without automation, need humans, both as employees and as customers. Their directors are human, too. So corporations would not intentionally wipe out humanity. Automation decreases their need for humans but doesn't eliminate it.

Nonetheless, corporations can well decide that most humans are superfluous, and make them die of hunger while living on the street.

The Supreme Court has allowed the bully's partial ban on Muslim visitors to take effect temporarily, pending final judgments.

The International Criminal Court will investigate accusations that UK troops in Iraq killed prisoners.

Too bad it can't investigate Dubya for the crime of aggressive war, which the allies prosecuted the highest Nazi leaders for.

If we don't preserve wildlife habitats, the future of nature will be a manicured Disney theme park in which visitors get a taste of carefully designed nature while being tracked all the time. Disney is already building them.

Because of the tracking, I would refuse to go there if invited. Even if my best friends were going and asked me to come along, I would still decline, specifically because of this injustice to visitors. I hope you would, too.
