I’m curious why you think ocean microplastics can stick around for a few more decades or centuries
No, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital’s solar panels.
You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. The hospital you’re referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the “rocket” from the footage you’re referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.
Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.
A. The 1.5 million people have not “escaped” or been displaced “from Gaza”, they’ve been forced to move to different places in the Gaza Strip: shelters predominantly. There’s no ingress/egress from Gaza. It’s basically a giant open-air prison.
Israel erected a giant cage around the land boundary of the whole strip in 1993. There’s only 3 exits, all of which are closed: the Rafah crossing into Egypt, the Kerem Shalom crossing at the corner where Israel and Egypt touch, and the Erez crossing into Israel in the north.
Israel enforces a blockade of the shoreline, and a no fly zone. They destroyed Gaza’s airport in 2001.
B. “More than half” is doing some pretty heavy lifting. 1.5 million is closer to 75%.
C. 10,022 / 2,048,000 = 0.489355%. Since the post yesterday, Israel has killed another 283 people which brings it up to 10,305 / 2,048,000 = 0.503%.
An AI can’t be fined or imprisoned.
Wait until you see what files the IDF has
And said afterwards that they did it because they claimed there were “terrorists” in the hospital, before backtracking and deleting the tweets

Agreed. That’s why Israel shouldn’t be surprised that Hamas retaliated a couple of weeks ago after years of Israel’s large-scale killing sprees.
Israel was eerily silent, when they usually report mistakes like the UN official dying in their strikes quite quickly.
They weren’t eerily silent at all. There were Israeli military spokespeople bragging about it on X until they started seeing the backlash and deleted the tweets.
IDF journalist Hananya Naftali: “BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead.”
How many dead Palestinian children per person is it?

That’s the thing about felony murder. If her death occurred as a result of their commission of a felony, then they should be on the hook for felony murder. It doesn’t matter that they didn’t directly kill her.
Felony murder isn’t a phrase to disambiguate between a murder that’s a felony and some kind of nonexistent misdemeanor murder. It refers to a very specific type of “murder” where somebody dies as a result of somebody else committing a felony. The commission of the felony is enough to make the person liable - they don’t have to have intended to kill anybody in the process or be directly involved in the death.
Four unarmed teenagers break into a house. The homeowner shoots and kills one of them. The three survivors are all liable for felony murder for the fourth’s death, and can face life in prison or even a death sentence.
A group of criminals break into a house. One stays outside as a lookout, completely unaware of what is happening in the house. The elderly homeowner tries to stop the criminals in the house, but slips and falls and hits his head and dies from a brain hemorrhage. The lookout is liable for felony murder.
Two cops are having a disagreement at work. They get a call of a burglary in progress and drive out there and start chasing the suspect. One of the cops shoots at the suspect, but “accidentally” misses and fatally wounds the other cop they were fighting with back at the station. The burglar is liable for felony murder for the cop’s death.
If the same standards were applied to the criminals who raided the journalist’s house, then they’d all be charged with felony murder.
Gun manufacturers have special protection, specific legislation at the federal level singling them out to not be liable.
The top 10% of Americans own 70% of the country’s wealth.
Have you ever stopped to consider the logical conclusions of that? If they lived at the same standard as the average American, we would only need to use 30% of the resources we’re currently burning through. It’s grossly inefficient. We waste more than 2/3rds of our resources so that rich assholes can live in $100 million mansions and fly around on private jets.
Say you’re an American working a 9 to 5 job. Once you hit 1 pm on Tuesday, you’ve done enough work for the week to meet all the actual needs for society. The rest of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all just to pay for rich assholes to take a “hunting” trip to Africa and needlessly slaughter native wildlife. Or to buy the 400th car in their special collections that they’ve nearly forgotten about. Etc. Etc.
70% of the irreplaceble oil being drilled? Flushed down the drain just so that rich assholes can horde wealth. 70% of the pollution in the air? Put there so that billionaires can have parties on a private island. So that they can fly their private jets to private retreats and pretend to be outdoorspeople for a weekend. 70% of the new extreme weather being caused by anthropogenic climate change? All so that rich assholes can do things like jet around the world so they can say they’ve played a round of golf on 7 different continents in 7 days. Etc. Etc.
It’s nowhere near sustainable.
You’ve already long missed the boat for keeping fascism out of France if the sitting head of state is calling for measures like these.
This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists - they’re so much more willing to take heavy-handed actions against democratic issues like “hey maybe police shouldn’t be executing people” and are so much more reticent to even speak out against extremist views that have gained a solid foothold in France like “the progressive Islamisation of our country is calling into question the survival of our civilisation”.
For some reason, they see the latter as much more “valuable discussion” than the former.
Once things start stabilizing from the latest influx, I feel like outreach like that should be the next phase
Interest rates had been historically low for a long time. Loans were cheap and venture capital was flowing freely. Tech companies could focus more on growing their market share with lots and lots of runway before they needed to become profitable.
Then during the pandemic, Congress gave a massive bailout to businesses. Inflation went skyrocketing, and the Fed had to raise interest rates to limit the damage.
Now money isn’t flowing nearly as freely for tech companies. Loans are more expensive, and investors are more content to leave their money in high-yield bonds instead. Tech companies are pivoting to stop chasing market share and instead start taking their profits from their current market share, even if it means their market share stops growing.
Call it what it is: terrorist attacks.
