“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

@doctorcarlton.bsky.social Have you seen this?!
It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.

Big fucking surprise there. 🙄 Can't argue with the numbers though, yikes!
"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.
Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds
A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

@seriouslydiaonly.bsky.social looks ripe for a debunking
This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

If you’re reading this snd preparing to ask “would you sacrifice a presidential win for trans rights,” I’ll save you some time: yes the fuck I would.

Fascism in blue is still fascism and we should be clear that an anti-trans candidate is a fascist candidate.

The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.

Wait, I thought "death panels" were bad? Then, the "pro-life" crowd told grandparents to sacrifice themselves for the good of the economy during Covid, and now we're murdering people to harvest their organs? What in the fascist fuck is this nonsense?!?
Heads up, nerds, dystopia was progressing too slowly so now we're doing "Parts: The Clonus Horror" and/or Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" (which is Kazuo Ishiguro's "Parts: The Clonus Horror")
Given the current political climate in the US, this seems like a very scary prospect. Yikes. No. Just, no.
