Chronic pain
A survey of women in one Australian state found
that 2/5
suffer from chronic pain.
The main causes of this pain are affecting large numbers of people, so
they should have high priority in medical research.

Duo euthanasia
In the Netherlands, couples who are gravely ill
can now
have euthanasia together and die hand in hand.
I think the couple presented in the article as an example would have
chosen to stay alive together if their medical problems had been
adequately treatable.

War on children
*The world is waging war on its children, in an obscene mockery of
international law.*
The article focuses on the short term harm which is occurring in a
number of regions. But let's not ignore that it will get worse in the
long term. The biggest attack against children is governments'
tolerance for continuing global heating, manifested in the failure to
firmly curb the planet roasters. This is likely to kill a large
fraction of today's children in a few decades.

Fascist style raids
*Georgia police and FBI conduct Swat-style raids on "Cop City" activists'
homes.*
Some of the targets have no links to any known crimes, and were not
charged with crimes.
Thugs are carrying out repression fascist style, with the help of the
FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Will
Biden not make these agencies stop?

The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, AUT
Resistance is growing in Brisbane to the
expense of stadium
construction for the planned 2032 Olympic games there.
In general, government subsidies to big stadiums
benefit various wealthy interests at the people's expense. The people of Brisbane got
angry at this and may have caused cancellation of part of the plans.
Olympic games tend to cause
nonfinancial kinds of harm, too &mdasy; such as
repression of street vendors, repression of people passing by, and lasting increments in surveillance.

Inadequate security on Tesla's customer data
Tesla faces punishment for inadequate security on customer data.
Since Tesla cars snoop so much on customers, the data that can leak
is more than you might expect.
I recommend that before buying any car made in the last decade or so
you investigate how to prevent it from phoning home with any data,
prevent it from contacting cellular data networks (since they would track
the car's location), and cut off its access to GPS (so it can't remember that
for the next time it is serviced).
Europe's focus on data protection is a basic distraction. Data,
once collected, will be abused. The key to privacy is preventing
data collection.

Running candidates against Labour
UK voters who consider Labour too right-wing, especially in its total
support for Israel's war policy, are organizing to run candidates
against Labour
They have concluded, as I have, that they cannot influence
Starmer-Labour except by running against it. I expect they will
influence Starmer-Labour's stand on Gaza. I hope they will also
influence Starmer-Labour stand on plutocracy and the environment.

Taxes for the US monetary system
Some rich people say they will
be proud to pay more taxes.
By raising taxes on the rich, we will make patriotic millionaires glad
and the greedy bastards unhappy. Both of the sides are good.

Urgent: YouTube disinformation profit
US citizens: call on Youtube to stop profiting from
global heating denialism.
(wordplay)
The page misuses the word "monetizing", which properly means "using something
as currency." I refuse to imitate that bad change in the English language, but I agree in
substance with the petition so I signed it.
The petition also use the term "content creators" to refers to the makers of videos that
pretend global heating is unreal or not disastrous. The term fits in a way, since those
videos are designed to make people content with seeing our world go down the tubes.
Civilization depends on people to refuse to be content with this.
Please be a malcontent creator like me! |

Devastating loss: global ocean currents
The Amoc ocean current cycle is close to running amok.
It could
happen any year.
If it does, it could raise the height of the Atlantic Ocean by one
extra meter in a few decades, as well as making northern Europe colder
and drier and wiping out the Amazon rainforest.
