Harvard is suing the US misgovernment calling on judges to rule in favor
of
academic freedom.

Palestinian activist
"ICE" stands for "not nice", using a double negative.
It refused to allow Mahmoud Khalil to join is wife as she gave birth,
rejecting several ways that
would
have been lawful and reasonable.
I speculate this is part of a standard tactic used by many
brutal-minded "law enforcers" in various countries: to convince the
public that someone is very dangerous, pretend perse is very dangerous
and take superfluous precautions accordingly; to convince the public
that someone is a monster, be superfluously cruel to person.

Peace plan
Putin has agreed to have direct discussions with Ukraine about a
hypothetical
peace deal.
This is a gesture which doesn't commit Putin to anything. It has no
significant progress.

City from wood
Building a city out of wood, but not with the old methods, eliminates
a lot of the CO2 emissions and makes
building
a lot faster.

Virtual classes and loneliness
The virtual classes common in many colleges leads to isolating
loneliness with no chance to
meet
people and converse.
This is the consequence of using software which (though the users don't
recognize this) is based on nonfree software that subjugates them.

Defend section 230
Why Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
must
be defended.
I agree with the article's position but I am revulsed by its use of the
word
"content"
to refer to what people write, or what people say.

Bomb threat, Columbia U.
A bomb threat was announced against protesters at Columbia
University protesting on behalf of Palestinians. Columbia's public
response presented the protesters as possible
culprits rather than as the targets.
(Barnard College is part of Columbia University, and it seems the
school thugs are using the bomb threat as an excuse to use more force
against the protesters while trying to cast them as terrorists.)

Coral reef bleaching
*Coral reefs have a high concentration of biodiversity that supports
about a third of all marine species and 109 billion people.* They
are having the worst bleaching event ever before recorded, because
they
are hotter now than was ever before recorded.
