April is National Poetry Month. As usual, I'll promote the wonderful Favorite Poem Project. Unfortunately, the associated Summer Poetry Institute for teachers ceased last year, but the site still has resources for teachers or anyone else who wants to host a favorite poem event. This year, I'm going to feature a short piece, whose dark wit always makes me smile. Fire and Ice By Robert

Enough

by wj As I noted in a comment earlier, one of my political goals would be 1) equality of opportunity, 2) NOT equality of outcomes, 3) adequate support for those who are struggling, funded by money from those who have been most successful. But how do we get there? I think that first we have to accept the concept of Enough . When you have income, what do you spend it on? First, you need food on the
Open thread - hidden worlds

by JanieM russell’s post on drumming has reminded me that there are worlds and worlds that I know nothing about, and sometimes it’s fun to peek into them. For instance – long ago a carpenter friend who worked in stained glass as a sideline took me to pick out some glass for a window he was helping me make. We went to a rundown neighborhood in Boston, then into a shabby-looking two-story house. In
When your relatives' DNA squeals on you
by liberal japonicus Maybe I'm reaching for a cute headline, but that's what seems to have happened. A cursory reading suggests that they compared the DNA they had with DNA profiles on genealogical sites to get a familial match. The article references the Grim Sleeper case. On July 7, 2010, the Los Angeles Times reported that an arrest had been made. District Attorney Steve Cooley identified the
what i learned from drumming, so far
by russell time for a break from politics? I've been thinking about what I have learned from drumming. About drumming, about music in general, about life in general. Maybe it's of interest on its own terms, maybe it will make you think of what you have learned from the things you do. I started playing when I was 10, so it's over 50 years now. As an online friend once observed, "Playing drums is n
Dear God Make it Stop, Open Thread

by Ugh Today in what must be the eleventy-billionth article on the subject, the WaPo makes the rugged, overland, sometimes I'm sure dangerous, journey to the restive provinces to find out just why Trump voters voted for Trump and what Trump voters think of Trump now that Trump has been Presidenting. Farming, lamb processing, and a John Deere hoodie make appearances. Also: “I think Trump brought o

by Ugh Back in the day I suggested that perhaps the higher ups at VW would not run into any trouble for the emissions scandal. Indeed, informed commentators deemed it "highly unlikely" that gaming the emissions system was a senior management decision and was "relatively contained" in VW. Well, it seems my and others' surmisings were wrong: Volkswagen AG ’s former Chief Executive Officer Martin Wi

Farm Bill: Opposition couldn't be ignored
This blog is the third in our Farm Bill series focusing in on key issues of concern to those in our network. HR 2, the House version of the 2018 Farm Bill, went to the House floor for a vote last week, and failed. PAN was one of more than 500 organizations who voiced opposition to the House bill, including farmer organizations, advocates for rural communities and hunger and social justice groups.
Chlorpyrifos ban imminent in Hawaiʻi
This week, the HawaiÊ»i legislature made a momentous decision to pass a bill that would ban the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos. The bill, SB 3095 , includes several other protections from and disclosures around pesticides that can harm children, including buffer zones around schools. The bill now heads to HawaiÊ»i Governor David Ige — who can sign or veto the legislation. A collaborative effort
EU bans neonics; U.S. bees not so lucky
After years of strong scientific evidence and even stronger advocacy, this week European officials decided to make a temporary ban on three bee-harming pesticides permanent. This is very, very good news for bees in Europe. The decision reflects years of hard work by our PAN partners and many others. It also spotlights just how far behind we are in the U.S. — not only with our pollinator protectio
Farm Bill: Pollinators & people at risk
The Farm Bill debates are moving full steam ahead. Many pieces of the complex federal legislation introduced in the House will clearly be harmful to farmers, rural communities, workers and the environment. This blog is the first in a series from PAN focusing in on key issues of concern to those in our network. We’ll start with one of the most egregious proposals in the draft bill: a provision all
McDonald's, you’ve got a pesticide problem
McDonald’s has a long history of employing business practices that are devastating to the lives of workers and their communities. Key among these: the fast food chain continues to source potatoes grown with drift-prone pesticides that put the health of nearby rural and Indigenous communities at risk, despite claiming “sustainability priorities” and “responsible sourcing.” In the weeks leading up
Farm Bill: How could it work for farmers?
This interview with Churdan, Iowa farmer Patti Naylor is the second blog in our series focusing on key issues of concern in the Farm Bill to those in our network. In this blog, Patti focuses on her vision for a Farm Bill process that better serves her farm and community. Many provisions in the Farm Bill legislation introduced in the House of Representatives will be harmful to farmers, rural commu

Highly Problematic Stance on Fake "Antivaxx" Authorship By of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics
It is a recognised challenge of my research field, bioethics, to include and empower researchers and institutions from low- and midlle-resource settings. Since a few years, the leading journal of Bioethics , runs the side journal Developing World Bioethics to address this issue, and over the past few years a number of journals have appeared, based at institutions outside of the most affluent part

People are probably going: "thwap! When are you going to mention Justin Trudeau?!? You've typed two long posts already [ I & II ] and you haven't mentioned him once!" To which I reply: Hold your horses! I'll get to him in my own good time. It's my blog and nobody reads it anyway. I'm talking to myself. I was thinking the other day about how the Powers That Be like to condemn China for its Great I
