*Italy’s far-right government submits plan to decriminalise abuse of office.* I’d expect right-wing plans to include abusing various offices. But it is alarming that they openly propose changes in the law so they can get away with that.
Taylor Swift threatened to sue Jack Sweeney for posting public data about the movements of her private jet. I would expect that any one rich person’s private jet contributes too little to global heating to be worth a moral fuss for its own sake. But all the private jets do amount to a significant (though […]
*American Base in Jordan Where Drone Killed 3 U.S. Troops Dogged by Inadequate Air Defenses.* I expect that it would be cheaper, as well as wiser, to provide better defenses than to retaliate. A group of religious fanatics can’t be deterred by retaliation or threats, but its weapons can be defeated like anyone else’s.

Travis and Jason Kelce are the talk of the NFL once again at the Super Bowl, this time thanks to a little help from the Taylor Swift effect.
*”Bitter Blow” to Biodiversity and Health as EU Pulls Proposed Pesticide Rule.*
The UK has a procedure for ministerial staff to raise complaints of mistreatment by ministers, but staff say that invoking it is so painful to use that it discourages anyone from filing complaints.
*Repetition has blunted the art museum protests so much that the pumpkin soup assault on the Mona Lisa felt pathetic. More effective tactics are needed.*
*EU lays out plan to cut greenhouse emissions by 90% by 2040.* *Far-right group Project Veritas admits it had ‘no evidence’ of voter fraud in Pennsylvania.* Often you can detect these right-wing systematic liars by their constant pretensions to be telling the truth. Compare with the bullshitter, for instance.
*[The saboteur-in-chief’s] allies and advisers have hinted at a more methodical second term: driving forward fossil fuel production, sidelining scientists and overturning rules.*

US citizens: call on President Biden and Secretary Granholm to reject all LNG projects.
US citizens: call on the US Supreme Court to protect the abortion pill. I usually don’t post (or sign) petitions addressed to courts, because courts are likely to ignore public opinion about the judgment. But this time they might calculate they should heed it.
The door plug that blew out of a Boeing 737 Max 9 airplane was missing four bolts meant to hold it in place. They were missing because Boeing maintenance removed them and did not put them back in again. Some workers actually made the mistake, but they were working as part of a work system […]
*US court bans three weedkillers [based on dicamba] and finds EPA broke law in approval process.* *Federal Court Halts Spraying of Monsanto’s Dicamba Pesticide Across Millions of Acres of Cotton, Soybeans.*
Groups that support Iran attacked US troops in Iraq. The US counterattacked, but that was probably futile. I would expect that the attackers are religious fanatics and would be thrilled to be martyrs, so fighting them will tend to be ineffective unless the US army can destroy them. That would be quite difficult. The US […]
