A fringe movement among paleontologists demands to use present-day human countries to determine where to keep fossils of organisms that lived long before humans, and long before any human countries.

I think these fossils should be made available to science in the way that is best for their scientific study. I'm not a paleontologist, so I don't know what that way would be, but I am sure it is not a matter of nationalism.

If these fossils go to a museum somewhere, at least they will be available somehow for scientific study. What's most outrageous is when people demand to "rebury" human remains that were found near where they live. That makes the remains totally unavailable for scientific study by newer methods -- such as, through their DNA.

*Ukraine claims battlefield successes as Mariupol evacuation falls apart.*

The US is planning to send Ukraine more airplanes. It takes time to get accustomed to flying a new kind of plane. Thus, the US need to send Russian-made planes that Ukrainian air force pilots are thoroughly accustomed to flying.

The bully's practice of immediately expelling asylum seekers, which Biden has inexplicably continued, has been limited by an appeals court. It ruled that the US cannot expel them to places whey they are likely to face persecution.

The bully instituted this policy in the name of Covid-19, claiming that the immigrants might carry it. That was true, but since they are no more likely to have Covid-19 than the people already on the US side of the border, it is no justification for expelling them. The bully's real reason was probably as a way to demonize immigrants, for political motives.

Why Biden did not simply end the practice, I don't know. Some Democrats push him to end it now.

Two further levels of appeal are possible. Will Biden continue appeals?

The Sackler family agreed to pay 6 billion dollars in settlement of claims over harm done by oxycontin.

The US condemned Putin for using cluster bombs on Ukraine, but the US has refused (like Russia) to sign the treaty to ban cluster bombs.
