Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* By now, you've probably seen the front page of Sunday's *New York Times* which lists 1,000 or the 100,000 and counting virus victims. While normal people have a normal reaction to this ongoing nightmare, President Psychopath really seems to have a deep need to always put an exclamation point on the fact that he really doesn't give a shit. Well, perhaps that's not really fair of me. You see, it's obvious to me that he does give a shit in that his whole reaction to the threat of COVID-19 has been to ask himself not what he can do for his country but what can he do to it, ... more »
Thought Bubbles from Canberra – more useless energy policies
By Viv Forbes The Australian Minister for Promoting Useless Energy thinks that hydrogen fuel, carbon capture and storage, soil carbon and biofuels are priorities for energy policy and greenhouse gas reduction.

Sawmills Save the World

US "Woke" Community Wages Pointless War Against Huawei

The NABJ seemed to hint it was actually pressure on it from various other groups to cancel the webinar that spurred the decision and not any concerns the NABJ itself had with Huawei. Articles like the Washington Examiner's, "'Become a distraction': National Association of Black Journalists cancels webinar sponsored by Huawei," would rep... more »

Cycling to Work Reduces Risk of Cancer, Heart Disease
*Richard Patterson, Anthony Laverty* *Health, * An active commute is a major potential source of daily physical activity. As many countries ease their lockdowns and more people return to work, there’s an effort to limit the use of public transport to avoid further spread of COVID-19. It seems obvious that we should encourage more people to switch to physically active ways of commuting such as walking or cycling where possible, instead of clogging up the roads with more polluting cars. But active commuting won’t just help limit virus transmission and emissions. Our latest research... more »
Coronavirus Sharpens Canada's Rural-Urban Divide
*S. Ashleigh Weeden* *Politics, North America* The coronavirus pandemic has escalated existing tensions in a complicated, ongoing negotiation between the “right to be rural” and trends toward “disaster gentrification” driven by urban flight. For some, Canada’s summer weekends are spent at a cottage. But this year, the COVID-19 pandemic has sharpened the edges on the rural-urban divide.

Saving Republican Internationalism
*Robert D.

It has more miles to run, now that a second cold war might conceivably be in our midst. And if Biden wins the presidency, such foreign policy ideas could very well be back in vogue. Given President Donald Trump’s drop in the polls, Republican foreign policy hands should usefully engage in a thought-experiment: what would be the aftershocks of a victory by former Vice Pres... more »
