I am looking for people to help webmasters of various sites (not related to me or GNU) make simple but substantial changes in their web sites — for instance, to use the GNU Project's recommended terminology.

A high school teacher in Georgia brought a gun to school and started shooting in a classroom.

This illustrates one of the many flaws with the troll's plan to end school massacres by arming a million teachers.

How America's Identity Politics Went from Inclusion to Division. The US Left made a grave mistake by adopting identity politics.

People who that see that their group is the target of systematic wrongs have the right to organize to stop it. I therefore respect and support Black Lives Matter as a campaign to stop thugs from gratuitously killing black people.

"All Lives Matter" was not a serious campaign to get thugs to stop gratuitously killing people, regardless of race. If it had been, it might have deserved our support. But in fact it was a cynical racist right-wing way of saying, "Ignore the fact that thugs kill so many blacks." This distraction campaign only showed the need for Black Lives Matter.

However, when mutual defense extends to the point of tribalism, it discards the universal morality which we could all support with our better nature, and aims for nothing beyond more effective competition with other tribes. This encourages the other tribes to fight back, turning politics into a squabble between groups in which none of them has any particular right on its side.

The only goal worth aiming for is to reject tribalism and return to universal humanitarian goals.

In particular, let's reject entirely the idea that tribes own certain cultural practices. What would be left for the rest of us? Hollywood? No one should be allowed to own cultural ideas, because everyone deserves cultural freedom.

Putin says that Russia has developed missiles that can get past US ABM defenses, since Dubya terminated the ABM treaty in 2002, and warns that Russia will respond likewise to the troll's plans to develop new nuclear weapons.

I don't find this shocking, or particularly evil. Nor is Putin necessarily telling the truth about these things.

Regardless of those points, this is a further reason why the troll's nuclear weapons plans are at best foolish and wasteful.

According to theoretical modelling, 5 years' delay in curbing global heating means 20cm extra rise in sea level.
