The heat dome in 2021 killed over 600 BCers. There were over 38,000 fatalities during the heat waves in Europe this summer. Selling BCers organs would also provide billions in economic benefits, but for some reason that's unthinkable, while selling out humanity's future is worthy of celebration.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

NASA’s New Horizons mission may shut down two instruments over lack of funding

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

High fuel prices aren’t yet stopping Americans driving their big ass cars and trucks recklessly and too fast. I don’t drive a lot but to me it looks like “business as usual” on the California roads and highways, even though slowly down would save drivers some $.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

Lowering fuel taxes when supply is tight is stupid policy: it keeps demand and prices artificially high, most of it ends up with those who don't need support, and in the end, it's a money transfer from people who use little or no fuel to people who use a lot, e.g. SUV owners.
