*Big oil's delay tactics are the new climate science denialism.*

Taliban thugs beat up Afghan journalists that they had arrested for covering a protest in Kabul.

Vaccine production is accelerating but the wealthy western countries are hoarding it.

Louisiana state thugs show a pattern of beating and maiming black motorists, then lying about it.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I decline to link to articles which promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles which give important information about racism or the fight to eliminate racism. That article is one of the exceptions.

For the Boston preliminary municipal election for mayor, I narrowed down the choices to Kim Janey and Michelle Wu.

Michelle Wu had answered Ballotpedia's questions with copious information about what she stands for. I agreed with most of it.

Kim Janey hadn't answered those questions. The cards her campaign mailer me told me about a few important issues, but no way to ask about other issues. No phone number, no email address, only addresses on a few online dis-services and a web site that told me, "Please enable Javaascript." I'd have had to run nonfree softwsre to talk with her campaign.

I voted for Michelle Wu.
