Corrupter publicly endorse QAnonsense
The corrupter publicly endorsed QAnonsense.
Well, why wouldn't he? He has already promoted insurrection in various ways. |

The cult of positive thinking
The Cult of Positive thinking teaches Americans whose lives are
difficult that faith in success is all they need for reaching
success. No need to condemn your employer for firing you and hundreds
of others. |

The validity of ShotSpotter's algorithms
ShotSpotter analyzes microphone data using proprietary algorithms, and
claims to report when and where shots occurred. Those reports can't
be trusted because courts cannot verify the validity of those
algorithms.
In addition, thugs have the opportunity to falsify the reports later
so as to inculpate the chosen suspect. |

Fossil fuel companies acting to perpetuate fossil fuels
Congress published a report showing how the main US fossil fuel
companies have been talking up their "investments" in renewable electricity
while acting to perpetuate fossil fuels. They refused to attend the
hearing afterwards. |

there from the rest of the UK. |

Mahsa Amini's funeral
Mahsa Amini's funeral became an opportunity for the public to show
anger at the religious "morality" thugs that killed her. A movement
to condemn their brutal repression is growing.
The supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, seems to be ill, and he might
need to be replaced soon. That could be a turning point for Iran. |

Correlation between Facebook and depression
Research comparing various US universities shows a correlation between
when Facebook started operating in each and when there was an increase
in depression.
A new Texas law forbids web sites from deleting user-contributed hatred.
If this prevents Facebook from operating there, the Republicans of Texas
will, for once, have actually helped the well-being of most people in Texas. |

Tying global heating to capitalism
Tying the ecological crisis (including global heating disaster) to Capitalism.
Communism is not the solution — it is based on repression, which we
have seen in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong. (We have seen it in
Ukraine too; Russia is not communist now, but Putin got his start in
the secret police of a communist state.)
The solution needs to include Socialism, but a state which is pure
Socialism will push everything into a uniform mold in the name of
efficiency and security. The things that everyone depends on should
be handled in a socialist way, including public transit, public
schools, medical care, electricity, water, and some aspect of food
production (but not small farms). However, other areas of life that
should be decentralized so that they are not regimented or uniform.
Would a fully socialist country permit us to make or have computers that
let us reject nonfree software? I think it is more likely it would
legislate a requirement for a back door. |

he case about the "independent state legislature theory."

Ron Johnson uses China as target for posturing
Republican senator Ron Johnson uses China as a target for posturing,
but he has not hesitated to make millions from a company that works
closely with China.
Where Republicans are concerned, we must deactivate our usual practice
of supposing that a person at least to some extent means what person says. |

Migrants shipped to Martha's Vineyard
Migrants shipped to Martha's Vineyard and Washington DC from Texas
state that they were induced to accept by promises of assistance,
which the people who shipped them did not provide.
If people in the US want to travel, and you wish to give them a ride,
you should be allowed to do so. (Ironically, Republicans are trying
to prohibit that.)
However, luring people to travel with false promises is fraud. |
