Protests at ceremonies of the monarchy
Starmer says people have a right to protest at the ceremonies of the
monarchy provided they do it in a way that will hardly attract any
attention.
The UK's two main parties are now the extreme wild right-wing (Tory)
and the tepid right-wing (Labour). |

Protective order against harassment by local thugs
A protest camp for resistance against the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline
has won a protective order against harassment by local thugs.
The pipeline opponents are protecting more than their local water
supply (though that is a valid reason to oppose a pipeline). They are
fighting one of the local battles to curb global heating and prevent
the early death of billions of people.
The local thugs are on the side of money. Probably because the local
politicians are, too. |

Putinite occupiers believed they were liberating from Nazis
The Putinite occupiers arrived in Izium believing Putin's lie that
they were liberating the people from "Nazis". Civilians set them
straight. |

DNA samples in San Francisco
It appears that thugs in San Francisco take DNA samples they get from
people reporting rape and compare them with a large database of DNA
from crime scenes, looking for a match.
I doubt that San Francisco is the only place that does this. |

Overloading election officials
Republican election saboteurs are overloading election officials with
requests for many kinds of records about the 2020 election. |

Residents where Australia floods systematically
In the areas of Australia that global heating has made flood-prone,
residents are systematically learning to use sandbags to protect their
houses, stockpile food and potable water, and clear road blockages.
Can they put their houses up on stilts? That would protect more than sandbags
could possibly do. Especially if a house needs rebuilding, they should
not make it as vulnerable as the old one. |

Hydrogen made by electrolysis
Making hydrogen by electrolysis using renewable electricity should
now be cheaper than natural gas, at least in Britain. |

European Parliament votes to reduce felling of trees
The European Parliament voted in a vague way to reduce the felling of
trees to make "renewable" fuel. |

Blue light from LED bulbs
LED bulbs for night illumination give out more blue light. This increases
interference with sleep for humans and other animals. |

Child poverty tax credit
The US adopted the child poverty tax credit as a response to Covid-19.
It lifted millions of children out of poverty.
Now Republicans (with Manchin's help) have brought it to an end.
I guess they figure that sloppy-thinking voters will blame Biden for
the change, because it will happen while he is president. |

Supreme court decisions that will kill Americans at random
Several recent Supreme Court decisions will kill Americans at random.
This reality is not quite analogous to the mythical "death panels"
that were not in Obama's medical insurance scheme, neither as
proposed nor as adopted. Those were supposedly going to decide
whether individual persons were worthy of medical treatment. The
Supreme Court decisions will lead indirectly to the death of victims
selected by circumstances at random. |

Renaming bases, ships and other things
The US military is finishing up the first step of renaming bases, ships and
other things whose names honor the Confederacy. This step is to recommend
what to rename.
It is arguable that Matthew Fontaine Maury's contributions to
oceanography and navigation were more significant than anything he did
for the Confederacy. I hope that people will not seek to deny him of
civilian recognition for the former. |
