Washington becomes seventh U.S. state to outlaw wildlife killing contests
Washington has just outlawed wildlife killing contests—the seventh state to do so in the past six years. The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission voted 7-2 this morning to pass a rule ending these gruesome spectacles where participants kill large numbers of wild animals simply for the thrill and for cash and prizes. The new rule prohibits contests for animals like coyotes, bobcats, crows, foxes and raccoons. That is significant as these animals typically have few protections under state laws and are the most common victims at such contests, where winners are decided based on who ... more »

How will these children function in a situation where there are no signs to tell them what side of the hallway to walk on or how far to stay apart?

Afterthoughts

QAnon, Cuties and the BBC
The BBC's disinformation unit might have to be renamed its QAnon unit, given how intensely they cover that conspiracy theory. It even led to this tweet from the BBC's disinformation reporter Shayan Sardarizadeh: He soon had second thoughts and deleted it. This resulted in the following exchange, which I thought I might share with you: *Simon Dolan*: I thought he might delete it. Do you want to clarify @Shayan86? *Shayan Sardarizadeh*: Happy to clarify. The tweet lacked context about the film, so I deleted it.

Disney isn't contradictory; it always supports killing

If armored combat vehicles were fast approaching heavily fortified enemy positions, and closing with an enemy within range of fire, integrated drone swarms might offer a substantial tactical advantage by blanketing the area with surveillance, testing enemy defenses, or themselves functioning as explosives.

China: We Can Track the F-22 Raptor and Stealth F-35
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* Beijing has certainly made this claim in the past. Is it accurate or more hype? Stealth fighters such as America's F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aren't technically invisible, but they are difficult to track on radar. Now the People's Republic of China is claiming its latest fixed-wing early warning aircraft (AEW) can track such aircraft.

Whose Lives Matter?
[image: undefined] To say that “Black Lives Matter” has been in the news of late would be the understatement of the year, if not the decade. Maybe, even the century. This phrase is on everyone’s lips, on front yard signs, placards, billboards and even, in very large letters, on the streets of not just a few cities. It is the rare newspaper that appears without commenting upon this phrase each and every day. In order to make sense of this phenomenon, let us consider a few distinctions. First, there is the plain old ordinary declarative phrase “black lives matter.” Of course they do... more »

“Knowledge is Liberation” — “Knowledge is Power”
The western civilization believes that “knowledge is power.” But the Hindu civilization’s view of knowledge is shaped by the Sankhya system developed in the Vedic age (about three thousand years ago)—the Sankhya philosophers preached: “Knowledge is liberation.” While the western people share their knowledge with each other and use it to make rapid progress in the world, the Hindu people neglect the world—they keep their knowledge inside themselves with the aim of using it for the attainment of personal liberation or salvation. The idea that “knowledge is power” is more conducive f... more »
