Some lawyers call for impeaching the bullshitter for his bogus national emergency.

There are plenty of grounds to impeach him. That won't result in removing him from office, because the Republicans in the Senate will protect him. So impeaching him now would be a political gesture -- which could be useful or not, depending on what it would politically achieve. I can't judge that question.

A new AI program can generate coherent-sounding bogus text following the style of a sample text.

It is much more coherent than what the bullshitter says.

Clever hacks are permitting users of iMonsters to break Apple's censorship and install patched versions of malicious apps, turning off some of the malicious functionalities.

This is a step forward, ethically, but it does not make them ethically equivalent to free software.

"Protecting" students from the extremely rare danger of a shooting in school is cited as the excuse for surveilling and tracking them all the time in school.

This surveillance would be used to shove some of them into the school-to-prison pipeline. If extended to all US schools, it could wreck tens of thousands of lives each year.

The US government permits patenting new uses of a drug — which is nuts. The US government gave itself a patent on using the drug truveda to prevent transmission of HIV, which is unjust. Now the US government permits a company to gouge on the price of truveda — which is vicious and probably deadly.

There should be no patents on pharmaceuticals. Governments should pay the cost of testing them for safety and efficacy.
