*The UK is in danger of becoming a police state cosplaying as a democracy.*

Houthis seized a UAE freighter in the Red Sea off Yemen.

I don't see any reason to be shocked at this. Salafi Arabia and the UAE are allies of the US, but hardly deserve our moral support -- and they started the war by invading Yemen.

Some indigenous groups in the US accept gifts of land to protect for wildlife.

The FDA approved the drug aducanumab despite having no solid evidence that it does what it claims to do. Now Medicade is considering whether to cover the drug at an exorbitant price. If it does, every person with Medicare drug coverage would face considerable additional cost.

If Medicare could negotiate a price to buy this drug in bulk, it might get a reasonable price. It can't do so because of a law passed by plutocratistic officials.

However, giving millions of people a drug on the grounds that it might prevent a disease for some of them seems like getting ahead of the game.

*Fury as EU moves ahead with plans to label gas and nuclear as "green."*

I am surprised the planet roasters dare to be so blatant as to continue pushing the "bridge fuel" excuse.

Nuclear power is a somewhat different idea. Nuclear power does not release greenhouse gases. But it is so expensive that whatever we spend on that will hold back decarbonization.
