Only 10 of the vaquita porpoises are left. They are being driven to extinction by gillnet fishing.

I am surprised that people did not years ago capture some vaquitas to establish a protected population. That is the usual way of saving a species when its population drops so low.

Eritrea's oppression of its populace deserves a protest, and so do "festivals" it runs to raise money in other countries. But these protests should not include violence.

* Institutions, academics and students are being ill-served by a failing marketised model of higher education.*

The US methods of doing this are different in detail but they have had similar consequences.

To treat education as a business for which people should pay based on the profit they hope to get from it is effectively to deny the value of an educated populace — which means to deny the value of democracy.

The crowded living conditions of poor people causes them to have worse sleep. Poor sleep in turn leads to various medical problems and a shorter life span.

Poor sleep can be caused by other things. People with enough money are not immune. Nonetheless, they are less likely to have that problem.

Gender stereotypes lead to punishing women employees if they speak assertively in ways that are treated as acceptable for men.

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 denounce bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles that I consider important and that I don't know another reference for. That article is one of the exceptions.
