As much as I despise Musk for so many things, and as much as his Starlink satellites are ruining astronomy and creating vast space-junk hazards, he's only partly to blame.

The absolute refusal of government to see what was happening, and stop it before it was too late, is the bigger problem.

And that continued refusal to lift a finger is encouraging orders of magnitude more satellite launches by Musk and other space grabbers.

It's insane, and we will regret it, probably too late.

The Hague has become the first city in the world to pass a law banning advertisements promoting fossil fuel products and climate-busting services.

There are 42 states where you can register to vote online, these are the ones where you can't:

Arkansas
Mississippi
Montana
New Hampshire
North Dakota
South Dakota
Texas
Wyoming

If you've seen websites suggesting that you can register online in those states, that is a voter suppression technique, specifically targeting younger voters who are much more likely to vote progressively. If you live in any of these states, make sure you can vote, it usually must be done by mail or in person.
