Killing of civilians in war in Gaza
The war in Gaza is killing civilians (Palestinian civilians, nowadays)
much faster than other recent wars. It has wrecked most of the
buildings and most of the hospitals. The schools that have not been wrecked
are sheltering people driven out of their homes.
The World Food Programme says that around 700,000 people are facing
catastrophic hunger, and that 577,000 of them are in Gaza. Evidently
food aid agencies are doing a great job of providing food to people
who otherwise would be starving — except in Gaza where Israel is
making it too hard.

Israel fired rockets at a car, killed journalists
Israel fired rockets at a car, killing two al-Jazeera journalists in
it. Al-Jazeera accuses Israel of intentionally targeting them.
I wonder, how many people were in that car, and what were they doing?

2023 is hottest year on record
2023 was the hottest year ever recorded, and came very close to 1.5°C of heating compared with before the mass use of fossil fuels.
As predicted, this level of heating has caused extreme weather
disasters around the world.
Bad as 2023 was, 2024 will be worse.

Peregrine moon lander fuel leak
Due to a fuel leak, the Peregrine moon lander won't be able to land.
I wonder if they could put it into an orbit from which a future
spacecraft could recover it and land it.
