The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

So, installing a mafia between healthcare providers and people who need healthcare is bad? Why are you so hostile to entrepreneurialism?

CAT’s report was adevastating indictment of the Israeli occupation’s behaviour in the occupied Palestinian territory. It describes a system of abuse so widespread and entrenched that it amounts to a direct assault on basic human dignity

Devastating report lays out exactly how Israel is terrorising Palestine
Torture, abuse, collective punishment, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention - Israel is guilty of all this, and more

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.
They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

My wife worked with Somalian refugees. They were, of course, the kindest, most generous, open-hearted people you could imagine. Of course the witless orange shitgibbon hates them. They're everything he can never be.
Somehow this is the worst part.
Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

"The core of our problem in the UK is housing. Using long-term nationwide data, John noted that the average UK house in 1956 – the year of his birth – cost £1,884.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
