Is The U.S. And The Main Stream Media Trying To Goad Russia Into Escalating Its War In Ukraine?( Dumb question of the Day )
"It is hard to remember in all the media agitation over Ukraine that this sympathetic coverage flies in the face of its reporting conventions" (Illustration by MEE) Moon Of Alabama: *U.S. Pushes Fake Stories To Goad Russia Into Escalation* The geniuses (not) at the National Security Council want to goad Russia into direct attacks on U.S. forces or interests. That would give the U.S. an excuse to further escalate the war in Ukraine into an open confrontation. It would also diverts the attention away from domestic problems.

3 executive actions Biden could try to protect abortion rights
President Joe Biden at a meeting at the White House in April. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images Biden is limited on abortion rights. There’s still a lot he could try. In the days since a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court appears on track to overrule *Roe v. Wade,* a sort of acceptance seems to have set in among government officials. Democrats are constrained in Congress, due to both their narrow Senate majority and the disagreement within their caucus about abortion rights, so any federal legislation is likely off the table for now. The White House, too, is starting to signal th... read more

Whose body again? Whose choice?
Regular readers will know that I'm unashamedly pro-life, while acknowledging that there are certain (very limited, very few) cases where abortion might possibly be unavoidable. Nevertheless, the outrage on the pro-choice side over the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade has been an eye-opener. I've seldom seen such an absence of logic and reason, accompanied by a veritable flood of emotion and "muh feelz!!!" It's ironic how many of those supporting Roe v. Wade were also all-out in favor of COVID-19 restrictions and vaccination over the past couple of years. This meme says i... read more

The Radical Roots Of Community Supported AgricultureCommunity-Supported Agriculture (CSA) is one of those rare ideas which combine transformative potential with an elegant simplicity. The CSA model of funding and sustaining locally-rooted agriculture has grown exponentially around the globe over the past four decades. Since the first formal CSA at Robyn Van En’s Indian Line Farm in South Egremont, Massachusetts in the early 1980s, CSAs have become a household fixture across the US and elsewhere; the most recent estimate by the USDA (2012) counted approximately 13,000 CSA farms in the US alone. The success of community-supported far... read more

Amazon Gets Huge Contract Despite Biden’s Union PledgeThe Biden administration has re-awarded a massive $10 billion federal contract to Amazon, even as the president is facing mounting pressure to fulfill his promise to halt such contracts to companies that refuse to remain neutral in union elections. The contract decision came as Amazon responded to its workers’ first successful union drive by busting the organizing drive that followed. At issue is Biden’s 2020 promise to “ensure federal contracts only go to employers who sign neutrality agreements committing not to run anti-union campaigns.” Amid revelations of Amazon’s aggressive... read more

New Reparations Focus: Black Enclaves Lost To DevelopmentProvidence, Rhode Island - Terrell Osborne knows well what happens when urban renewal comes to communities of color. As a child growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, in the 1950s and 1960s, huge swaths of his neighborhood of Lippitt Hill, a center of Black life at the foot of the stately homes of the city’s elite East Side, were taken by eminent domain for redevelopment projects. Hundreds of Black families and dozens of minority small businesses across some 30 acres were bulldozed. In their place rose an apartment complex catering to downtown workers and students and faculty at ... read more

Two Points On The Future Of Detector DesignMy attendance to the JENAS symposium in Madrid this week provided me with the opportunity to meet some of the senior colleagues who will influence the future development of technologies for fundamental research in the coming decade and more.

Of course I am moved not only by caring for the progress of humanity but also by the fact that I would like the research plan I have put together in collaboration w... read more

What Is A 2.5D Material And Will It Make Future Tech Possible?There are three dimensions in the known universe. Fiction authors like to call time a dimension but it really isn't, it is just a way to look at the other three. Even if you don't remember what you ate for lunch yesterday the universe knows you were 2 millions miles away from where you are right now when you at it. Since everything in the universe was also shifting in chaotic ways there is no way to return and have a different lunch. read more read more

An Inflation Puzzle
A common story about the recent inflation surge in the United States--especially among members of Team Transitory--is that the surge is largely due to global supply shocks, such as rising energy prices, chip shortages, and various bottlenecks in the wake of the worldwide pandemic. Why then do we not see a similar inflation surge in Japan? There, inflation is running at about the same rate as it was pre-pandemic. See below. (Click on image to enlarge.) I am puzzled. read more
