The latter. Per the article:

“On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.

They're sanewashing here. The accusation is about letting staff molest boys

They're accused of allowing staff to sexually abuse teenage boys.

Pretty much. They changed the title to be less inflammatory but not the link preview.

It's a gift link. You should be able to get full access to the article (and the animations that are not in the archive) for the next 30d if you have a normally functioning browser, don't run an extension which chops off the gift token from the URL, and have Javascript turned on.

You've gone from a passive fund to an active fund there I think, with the associated far higher expenses. You can get close to divested from the fossil fuels industry via the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund would get you an expense ratio of 0.14%, which is about where index funds were charging when they didn't have the same economies of scale they do today.

That's fine, though I don't think we're going to find a way to economically recycle plastics. It's going to take something like a really large increase in plastic prices to make that viable.

Or the original idea was to run a PR exercise for the fossil fuels industry, creating social permission to keep on extracting and burning.

You can do that, but not at anywhere near the scale of current emissions from fossil fuel burning.

Actually making any kind of removal meaningful means scaling down fossil fuel use to near zero compared with current extraction and burning.

It's worth mentioning that the measles vaccine is still available, and typically offers protection for decades. If you've hit 40 or so, talk to your doctor about whether you need a booster.

There are large parts of the world where the big use of water is to grow food for cows. A decision to eat less beef instead of killing people is possible.
