There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Linkee-poo Aug 4th late night

From the BBC Sunday Aug 4… "We're bringing our coverage of the violence seen in several towns around England to a close now… A riot in Rotherham was followed by violent scenes in Middlesbrough, with chanting between rival groups and one arrest… If you want more on this story…" There are five pages of rolling dispatches.

"Two nights of violent protest in English towns this week, following the knife attack in Southport, reveal how today’s far-right is organising in the UK… A BBC analysis of activity on mainstream social media and in smaller public groups shows a clear pattern of influencers driving a message for people to gather for protests, but there is no single organising force at work."

"Cave discovered on Moon could be home for humans." Wasn't this the plot of Women In the Moon?

"The world's largest renewable energy and transmission project has received key approval from government officials. The Australia-Asia Power Link project will send Australian solar power to Singapore via 4,300 kilometer-long undersea cables."

"A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state’s office amid efforts to collect voter data." Good. In some states it is explicitly illegal to solicit for voter registrations and then NOT pass on all information and cards gathered to the proper elections board. You may remember several stories where these groups submitted flagrantly mis-filled out cards. It's because they have to. Musk's site appears to be gathering info to register voters, but it's not actually doing that.v
