The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

Hamas warehouses

They dont even try to make the hasbara convincing anymore

An anarchist would take off the capitalist mask to reveal hierarchy

Other presidents were able to restrain Israel from trying to enact a “final solution”

I have a Toyota from around then, and yeah it’s the best. The great thing about that era is the milage is decent, and also I think it’s when abs and traction control became standard on all cars. So I have a manual transmission and aux cord, but it’s not ancient, it’s still very safe and efficient

the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly.

Not true. She was within the margin of error in the swing states.

I think Fivethityeight’s explanation went something like…

Don’t confuse 538’s model with polls. 538 takes polling data as an input, and then runs simulations that output the odds which side will win.

Polls don’t measure the odds a candidate will win, they measure how many people would vote a certain way if the election were held today. Predictive models take that data and do a lot more than simply average the results.

Not full bones, though. Just shards of bone that can seriously injure you

That Germany, of all countries, could fail to prevent a surge in reactionary antidemocratic politics suggests **there’s something eternal and enduring about the reactionary spirit. **

LMAO. Reactionary antidemocratic politics in Germany?!🧐 I’m shocked

Oh great. Starting a war is a classic move for embattled presidents

She already knows the answer.

It’s because China is investing in training new generations of scientists and engineers. And yes, some day they’ll probably have some groundbreaking tech like whatever comes after EUV lithography, and the US will be kicking itself for obstructing collaboration

When that time comes, hopefully the Chinese government won’t be as obstinate as the US is now (a very low bar to pass)

From the game, UK or Florida?

They take getting caught seriously, not the stuff they get caught at.

Wut. I’m not sure if this is a distinction without a difference, or a subtle distinction that I need a better grasp on continental philosophy to comprehend.

It’s like saying a state doesn’t take murder seriously - they take getting caught seriously. It’s technically true if you parse it a certain way, but ultimately meaningless

this kind of thing is not bad because it endangered people’s lives, it’s bad because it makes them look bad and might impact their exports

Something can be bad for multiple reasons. Also, there’s multiple actors here. The operators of the state-owned enterprise have different incentives than the regulators

Holy fuck that article is sickening. The level of dehumanization it truly insane.

It makes the US in Iraq look like a humanitarian operation. Fuck, even the US in Vietnam seems like it was way more disciplined.

The state of the left in Israel, apparently:

“I, too, a rather left-wing soldier, forget very quickly that these are real homes [in Gaza],” A. said of his experience in the operations room.

It’s Definitely not just a US thing, although the scale of incarceration in the US is immense. it’s just a handful of European countries that actually treat prisoners ok.
