19 days agoTrue enough. In this case, the article’s from The Guardian. Spotted it elsewhere. I agree that identifiers should have been on the post for legitimacy’s sake.

Gisèle Pelicot’s voice broke as she addressed some of the witnesses who stayed in the room.
“I wanted to remind these women — wives, sisters, mothers — who say their husbands are good men who wouldn’t do this,” she said. “I had the same.”
Lest we forget this is the same country whose citizens rioted because IDF soldiers who raped prisoners were being punished.
Gotta make sure Hamas has radical recruits so Israel can keep justifying apartheid, genocide, and invasion.
31·29 days agoI wish I could to, but I don’t think Netanyahu would take an off-ramp? He’s getting everything he wants: clearing land in Gaza and Lebanon for settlers and giving a Final Answer to the Palestinian Question. At this point, I don’t think Israel will stop until it’s forced.
Let’s be honest, it’s Benito Orban if anything.

Archive.org is currently being DDoS’d and is unavailable.
In 2021 Netanyahu was indicted for bribery, fraud, corruption, breach of trust, etc. The trial is actually still ongoing, but basically as long as he’s Prime Minister, he’s probably not going to see the inside of a cell.
So in order to stay Prime Minister he needs to keep his coalition of various nationalist religious conservatives together and he needs to not have another election.
As long as there’s a war going on, he can postpone elections, and as long as he’s clearing land for settlers he’s appealing to those same nationalist religious conservatives.
So basically he’s trying to start a forever war so he doesn’t go to jail.

This makes the Arctic an incredibly rich area. It is about the same geographic size as the African Continent - about 6% of Earth’s surface area - yet it holds an estimated 22 percent of Earth’s oil and natural gas resource.

A more accessible Arctic will create new opportunities for shorter, potentially more economical, northern maritime trade routes imagined by global leaders for centuries.
Not to mention the strategic use of the Arctic, aka, the reason NORAD is a thing.

Fascists and “strongmen” appeal to the weak and insecure.
I once got to go behind the scenes at a zoo, including their vet’s operating room. They had a bunch of interesting stories about how they tranq and operate on different animals of various sizes, but the worst experience they had was with an otter.
Poor little guy woke up partway through surgery, panicked, and went fucking berserk. Those little claws left gouges a foot long and an inch deep in the vet. And then, because they’re so small and fast, trying to re-anaesthetize it was a huge pain.
Anyways, I think about that story a lot when I hear about otters.
Right up there with the ergonomic comfort and ease of use of the N64 tripod!
I’ll give a shout out to Fictorum, which is kinda janky but is a physics-heavy wizard simulator with on-the-fly spellshaping and some real wild spellslinging combos. Between the combat levels, there’s a travel/encounter-type rpg thing vaguely similar to FTL as you try to stay ahead of a wave of Bad Thingstm
