Planet roaster companies are building 200 "carbon bombs" — defined as projects that will generate a billion tons of CO2 if fully utilized.

These companies, the world's main fossil fuel companies, are intentionally sabotaging any chance of avoiding global catastrophe. If you are young today, these carbon bombs are likely to kill you. Don't delay fighting back against this planned mass murder until you're doomed to probable death from it.

*Millionaires join Davos protests, demanding "tax us now."*

A Russian officer explains why he resigned from Putin forces out of shame. It seems that many Russian soldiers are refusing to be part of the Putin forces, refusing to go to Ukraine.

One thing that interests me is that apparently rule of law still applies inside the Russian army, for some things. Putin's servitors make fabricated criminal accusations against dissidents, but the army lets people resign, or refuse to go outside Russia, because the law says they can.

The Supreme Court eliminated the possibility of presenting exculpatory evidence to a federal court after an incompetent defense lawyer failed to present it in the initial trial — or failed to sign a form in time.

This decision places respect for the court system above the rights of people to a fair trial. Instead of making the system give justice, this decision closes its eyes to its failures and defines them away. That's called "finality."

It would indeed be a good thing if we could count on trial defense lawyers to do their jobs properly and present all important evidence for the defense. Instead of pretending they did so, our legal system should make damned sure they do so.

The Taliban have forced female TV reporters to cover their faces on the air. This is on top of prohibiting women's education beyond secondary school.

It is disgusting, but I don't see what we can do to weaken their grip on Afghanistan.
