    Republicans and abortion

    Republicans will try to attack abortion rights nationwide, despite their half-hearted pretense before the election.

    Israel bombing farms

    *Cattle, crops and ancient olive groves: Lebanon’s farmers "lose everything" to Israeli bombs.*

    Women rejecting all men

    Women in several countries are responding to arrogant right-wing misogynous men by rejecting all men, for sex or for love.

    In a place where abortion and birth control are restricted, it is obviously rational for women to reject penis-in-vagina sex with men (except when they seek to get pregnant). This doesn't require rejecting all lovemaking, but that is what these women are doing.

    The misogynists will deserve such rejection, but what will happen to the young men who yearn for kind and tender love with a woman? They will well know that life makes that as unlikely as winning the lottery. They may join the misogynists only because no other path proclaims itself as offering any hope.

    Sensitive men will see that misogyny is a path to a dead end of twisted hatred, not a path to happiness. But when they reject that path, where could they go instead? They won't see any good path -- only despair.

    With women hating them sight unseen, trying to be kind and considerate won't be enough to give men an opportunity for love. Even to learn what constitutes "kind and considerate" requires feedback from someone prepared to appreciate you when you make progress, and misandrists will form a solid wall against that.

    I am so sad for the men and for the women.

    Urgent: reduce plastic production

    US citizens: call on World Leaders to agree on a strong treaty to reduce plastic production.

    10:37a
    Australia lapsed export permits

    * Australia has amended or lapsed at least 16 defence-related export permits to Israel in recent weeks.*

    This alone won't make Israel stop committing atrocities, but it can blaze the trail for other countries to do so.

    Trump administration health policy

    *Why the Trump administration will be bad for [most] Americans' health.*

    The exceptions will be the millionaires.

    10:37a
    Big oil fossil fuel warning

    *The Air Pollution Foundation, which was primarily funded by the lobbying organization Western States Petroleum Association, publicly claimed to want to help solve the smog crisis, but was set up in large part to counter efforts at regulation.*

    It was informed in 1955 of the future danger of global heating.

    (Satire) Oklahoma ten commandments in womb law

    (satire) *Oklahoma Law Requires Ten Commandments To Be Displayed In Every Womb.*

    10:37a
    Coal and oil use continued to rise

    *Despite nations’ pledges at Cop28 a year ago, the burning of coal, oil and gas continued to rise in 2024.*

    In other words, the planet roasters have defeated the campaign to save civilization (and your lives) from destruction.
