CA verses FL, Governors
California governor Newsom suggests
possible kidnapping charges
against
DeMentis for collecting asylum seekers on Texas and flying them to California.
It seems they did not want or expect to end up in California.
Apparently they were tricked somehow.
A Texas sheriff has filed charges
based on the flights that DeMentis organized that took a previous group of refugees to Martha's Vineyard.
The article does not make it clear whether these charges are against
DeMentis, or someone who played a secondary role in setting up those flights.

to be shown.

Labour oil-ban rift
Labour proposes to
end offshore fossil fuel drilling,
but the union
that represents the workers demands to keep it going.
Generally it is good for society for workers to have strong unions,
but unions can do harm when they resist the elimination of toxic industries
in the name of full employment. A good government can build up new industries with good jobs.

CNN conversion's influencers
The right-wing billionaire CEO of the Warner Brothers conglomerate is
behind the conversion of CNN into a right-wing tool, a
competitor for
Faux News.
CNN has
fired its CEO,
Licht.
Unless the billionaire decides to value CNN's profits over his
political goals, I don't think that will change much.

Imran Khan: US complicit, PAK military victim
Imran Khan alleges that in March, 2022, Don Lu, who was the
US
undersecretary of state, demanded
that Pakistan force out
Prime Minister Imran Khan.
I cannot presume that Imran Khan is entirely honest and credible.
I don't know enough about Pakistan to have views on that.

Italian thugs accused of torturing migrants
*Five Italian [thugs] accused of torturing migrants and homeless people.*
Thugs anywhere might torture people they think are too marginalized to
make a stink, but prosecuting thugs for that is a sign of officials
who care about justice. |

Stadium-style lamps at US-Mexico border
The US border thugs have installed stadium-style bright lamps along
rural parts of the border with Mexico. Operating those lamps
could devastate wildlife. Many species live in or migrate through
the border; some endangered species live mainly there.
In some cases, the harm of border lights could extend far away from
the border, as for instance when populations of jaguars in the US and
Mexico can no longer mix and interbreed. |

Robot taxi killed dog
A robot taxi being tested killed a dog that ran out from behind a parked car.
The company said that the car's computers recognized the dog but could
not stop the car in time.
So-called "autonomous" cars are not really autonomous, because they
are "connected", and that is an injustice to the passengers and
perhaps also the passersby. It should be illegal to operate a taxi
unless it (1) can be called by anonymous passengers, (2) accepts
payment in anonymous cash, and (3) keeps no biometric information
about them or about people outside the taxi. |

Chatbot to start date conversations
The surveillance-dating industry says, "Have your chatbot start
the conversation that's meant to lead up to a date."
That way, when you first actually communicate with each other,
it will be just one step beyond a blind date.
If (as the article says) only 10% of the users of dating systems find
a long-term relationship with them, they are failures already. |
