Prisoners in Australia's Guantanamo commit suicide

lundi 30 janvier 2023 à 23:47

In Australia's Guantanamo, the security is not as tight as in the American Guantanamo; some prisoners succeed in escape via suicide.

London thug taking photos of corpses

lundi 30 janvier 2023 à 23:47

Two sides of corpse fetishism: a London thug was fired for taking photos of two corpses.

I don't understand why he wanted the photos, nor do I understand why the department did not want him to have them.

Murders carried out by uniformed thugs

lundi 30 janvier 2023 à 23:47

The main causes of murders carried out by uniformed thugs is the general violent attitude of most US thug departments.

That violent attitude is directed mainly at blacks, so thugs (even black thugs) are more likely to kill blacks than whites. This is ironic but it's the natural consequence of the violent approach that thugs learn to consider normal.

CO2 pipeline

lundi 30 janvier 2023 à 23:47

Big Oil wants to build a 2000-mile pipeline to transport CO2 to a place where it can be buried. The landowners whose land they would need to cross are fighting to block it.

I oppose this pipeline because it carbon storage is unproved and switching to renewable generation is surely cheaper and better for decarbonization. However, I am disappointed that the authors are so obsessed with race that they perceive a need to apologize for supporting, this time, a group of environmental defenders who happen to be white.

Campaign to eliminate nouns that designate subsets of humanity

lundi 30 janvier 2023 à 23:47

Associated Press Stylebook endorsed the pressure campaign to eliminate all nouns that designate subsets of humanity, citing a peculiar excuse — the need for an article before those nouns. It brought ridicule on itself.

However, I don't think they have retreated from this pressure campaign.

Whether you say "the French", or "French people", they are not all alike. They differ from each other. That is no justification for the pressure campaign.
