At this point you’re either OK with the Trump administration proposing more cuts to Medicare while spending millions to spray-paint statues with gold
— or you’re not.
Do you really need a newspaper or a big name to tell you if you should approve of ICE killing Americans?
You either love that or hate it.

There were so many native hoverflys milling about and doing their pollination thing before I tried to grab this snap.

Follow-on to last post, to save the world's ecosystems we need to take fossil fuels offline NOW, wherever we can reach and however we can stop that infrastructure. The price will rise and solutions will fill in.

Millions face long-term coastal flooding risk in UK without climate action, scientists warn https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/21/millions-long-term-coastal-flooding-risk-uk-climate-action

There are millions of people around the world who could help make the world a better place, but don’t.
I’m talking about the ones who have got the power to shape their own careers,
though you would never know it from their utterly unsurprising résumés.
About the talented folks with the world at their feet who nonetheless get stuck in mind-numbing, pointless or just plain harmful jobs.
There’s an antidote to that kind of waste, and it’s called moral ambition.
…

No, you’re not fine just the way you are: time to quit your pointless job, become morally ambitious and change the world
Most working people can be put into one of three categories, from idealistic yet unambitious to greedy and immoral. But there is another option …

A new system to screen millions of mail-in ballots for this November’s US midterm elections was thrown together so hastily, and tested so little,
that a single scanning glitch could see entire batches of ballots turned away, a whistleblower has told Congress.
The project
– a key part of Donald Trump’s new restrictions on voting
– is “perilously rushed and potentially unlawful”,
according to the US senator Richard Blumenthal, who disclosed the warning in a letter…

New system for screening mail-in ballots risks denying entire batches, says whistleblower
US senator says that project, a key part of Trump’s voting restrictions, is ‘perilously rushed and potentially unlawful’

Voting by mail
would become much more difficult,
if not impossible,
for tens of millions of Americans
if the U.S. Postal Service is allowed to implement a restrictive rule
governing mail voting
that Donald Trump has demanded.
The effects would likely be greater for Democratic voters,
who vote by mail in higher numbers than Republicans,
and in states where mail voting is universal or nearly so.
Mail voting may not happen at all in s…

Postal Service Rule Could Bar Millions From Voting by Mail
A judge temporarily blocked the agency from implementing a strict new rule governing mail voting. The policy could disproportionately affect Democrats and many battleground elections.
