Congress investigates corrupter's prosecutor
The bully's henchmen in Congress are going to investigate
one
of the prosecutors who prosecuted the bully for federal crimes.
They have made it clear that this is for personal retribution, not
because of any objective grounds.

Fungus infecting artworks
A previously unknown fungus is infesting precious, old artworks in
Danish museums.
And perhaps unnoticed in other countries too.

Abandoned coal mines and gas wells source of emissions
* Abandoned coalmines and oil and gas wells are now one of the biggest sources
of the powerful greenhouse gas methane, new data shows, and
little effort is being made to clean them up.*
I expect that the fossil fuel companies to divest themselves from old
mines and wells in ways that will avoid liability for them — just as
they sometimes disconnect themselves from responsibility for
supporting former workers.
So I suggest making it a felony to implement a restructuring of
business or assets in a way that is likely to result predictably in
strand assets that carry financial responsibilities with no one
capable of shouldering the responsibilities.

Casualty figures kept secret for fighting with Yemen
The cheater has kept casualty figures secret for the fighting with Yemen.
Even if they are small, this violates the accountability that the people
have a right to.

Geoengineering to reduce sunlight on specific areas
Britain will experiment with several systems of local geoengineering
that try to reduce the sunlight falling on the test area.
I expect that local method of cooling are safer from those that would operate
globally. However, I can imagine that using them with enough strength
to make a significant difference to global heating would be very expensive
and might cause pollution.
They could also backfire in complex ways -- for instance, some parts
of Earth could have drastic global heating while others are protected
by cooling. That could cause changes in weather patterns and ocean
currents.
But given the disaster we are facing, and the success of fossil fools
in corrupting governments so as to keep on pumping he fossil fuels,
I support trying these experiments.

Elon Musk set to win big
*Elon Musk Set to Win Big With Trump's Trillion-Dollar Pentagon Budget.*
His companies were selected in some cases based on favoritism,
and in some agencies he was given the power to decide which offices
to shut and which to keep open.
Both are forms of corruption.
*The [wrecker] is poised to kill federal research into
pollution from satellites and rockets, including some caused by
Elon Musk’s space companies, raising new conflict-of-interest
questions about the billionaire SpaceX and Starlink owner.*
This concerns pollution from rocket exhaust and pollution
from satellites burning up during reentry.

Warning that therapy chatbots not safe
*UK experts warn … therapy chatbots are not safe.*
Calling them "AI" is repeating a grave error which is at the root of
this problem. Those systems are not intelligence, because they cannot
understand the words they play with, and that is also why they are
unsafe.
Why do people think they are intelligence? Because of those who
foolishly call them "AI".

(satire) National Endowment for the arts lays of muses
(satire) *National Endowment For The Arts Lays Off 30,000 Muses.*
Republicans assert that the additional hardship and suffering that
their policies will create ought to provide plenty of inspiration for
art, especially among those not wealthy enough to find muses in other
ways.
