Third day in a row, but fourth shooting this week. Israel first shot Palestinians at the aid point on 5/27, and then again the past three days.
Third day in a row, but fourth shooting this week. Israel first shot Palestinians at the aid point on 5/27, and then again the past three days.
Is this the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians?
Edit: Yes, the article confirms that this is indeed the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians at an aid point. Fucking ghouls. Hard to even keep track.
I saw a video last night of a father holding the severed torso of his maybe six year old daughter. She was cut in half by an Israeli bomb. How even 20% of Europe can still support this slaughter is beyond me.
Bastion is a 6/10 beat-em-up with 10/10 art, music, and voice acting. I enjoyed that game a lot (and still listen to the soundtrack on road trips), but boy does the atmosphere carry the weight of an otherwise average game.
Pretty forgivable since it was their first effort. Hades feels nice and crisp while keeping all the other points strong, too.
The U.S. doesn’t even talk big on Ukraine anymore. Proposing a joke of a “peace plan” where Russia gets their land and we get their minerals. Insulting Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. The Ukrainians kept us in the dark on this one so Trump wouldn’t do any stupid shit like when he blabbed to Putin and got all our informants killed. Trusting the U.S. to do anything constructive on Ukraine would be a fool’s errand.
That’s great to hear! I was actually living in Somerville when I did that Japan trip. The extension of the bike path and really that whole rails-to-trails project were wonderful for the community. We need more projects like that - glad to hear the cape is getting some.
The project actually still hasn’t started due to ongoing litigation and budget constraints. It did get redesigned with more bike infrastructure and pedestrian bridges to cross the freeway, but local bike and pro-transit groups still oppose the project.
One of the main arguments is that the state’s proposal is not consistent with the city’s regional plan, which says that the interstate can only be expanded if congestion pricing is also implemented to discourage additional traffic.
At this point, the state is planning to fix up some bridges while the rest of the legal fight plays out. Expansion probably won’t start until 2028 in any case… at which point this song will be an “oldie.”
If I were a betting man, I’d wager this woman spends a lot of time scrolling through right-wing posts on Facebook about the “invasion” of Britain. A Brexit type, if you will.
That’s just speculation in this specific case, but the amount of fear-mongering right-wing content on social media is absolutely a contributor to this kind of worldview more broadly.
There was a guy who took his guitar before the Portland City Council and sang a song about induced demand. If you build more lanes, more drivers will come and fill them.
I once had the pleasure of cycling the Shimanami Kaido in Japan, a bike route that connects the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, hopping between all these minor islands on the way over suspension bridges carrying the main highway.
The bike lane is protected the whole time. In one case, the bike route is actually below the deck of the bridge, and you’re on a fenced-in catwalk hundreds of feet over the channel between the islands. Views for miles over Osaka bay.
Honestly, when I look back at my life, it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done. If only the U.S. invested in bike infrastructure like that.
Opinion section of the newspaper, as in position pieces written by guests rather than reporting by news desk staff.
However, it is also a fact that Israel is committing war crimes up to and including genocide.
“Recommended by the UN” is the exact same fucking thing as “created by the west.” Who do you think holds and has historically held power at the UN besides all the same colonial powers of the west? An absurd lie to claim this distinction is a difference.
Nothing in this comment is racist. Israel colonized (and continues to incrementally colonize more of) Palestine. It is also committing genocide, according to a wide range of scholars on genocide. Therefore, it is a genocidal colony.
But while there is nothing racist in that statement, you are by contrast a despicable racist. Apologetics defending the ethnic cleansing and mass murder of children - slaughtering indigenous peoples in their homeland based on ethnic background - is as racist as it gets. Your defense of white supremacy is unforgivable.
Did this show get any better?
Apparently, the source material is supposed to be good. I gave it three episodes but was pretty disappointed by the animation quality and pacing.
Wondering if anyone who stuck with it thinks it’s worth it.
You’d think North Korea would applaud the U.S. for continuing to bankrupt itself with a long series of expensive military follies.
You mean… exactly what they’re already doing and will definitely continue to do?
Yes.
Terrible journalism. The author entirely neglects the fact that lemurs possess fingers even smaller than those of Chinese women. Why not have lemurs manufacture iPhones, given the particular daintiness of their digits? A true investigative journalist wouldn’t leave such crucial avenues of inquiry unexplored.
The first season or season and a half are pretty grueling. I found it hard to watch at times. But as it got later into the show it really hit its groove. Still, I get where you’re coming from.
