An article in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, using the conservative estimate of 4 indirect deaths in Gaza for every one direct death (in other conflicts it’s been 3-15x), calculates that Israel has killed approximately 186,000 Palestinians. That is 8% of the population of Gaza.

Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essentialwww.thelancet.com By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Offi...

Haven't seen anyone mark it, & it merits marking. Last night NFL Vikings rookie & comeback story of the decade Khyree Jackson was killed, with two of his friends, by a (presumed) drunk driver. He CLAWED his way to 4th round draft pick from grocery clerk. It's TRAGIC. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

@themountaingoats.bsky.social That debate performance you said didn’t matter seems to have dictated pretty much everything for this election season, btw.

Happy holidays from a true patriot.

The Israeli occupation of the West Bank is expanding, in violation of international law and to the indifference of the administration.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

Harris-AOC is the alt ticket betcha.

Unfollowing unserious folks doing rhetorical RealDem stuff (like Kamala Harris as plug&play candidate instead of, minimum, a brokered convention). Unless they ACTUALLY expand the court or some Sorkin fever dream they floated for the week’s hot take cycle. But it’s all high school government idiocy.

This is literally the same shit the Nazis did before industrializing murder. They would get soldiers to just shoot people into pits. They sent Jews en masse via train to camps to starve and die. It was disgusting in the 40s and it's disgusting now.

Ben Gvir "urged the passing of the bill in the Israeli Knesset for executing prisoners, saying they should be given just enough food to keep them alive until the law is enacted." There are thousands of "prisoners" in these torture camps. www.972mag.com/sde-teiman-p... thecradle.co/articles/ben...

Ben Gvir calls for execution of Palestinian prisoners with 'shot in the head'thecradle.co Israel is holding almost 10,000 Palestinians in its prisons and detention camps, where torture is widespread

ANYONE giving scared, depressed, edgy, exhausted, already-almost-died folks shit about emotional response to it all (despair = the coordinated pep talk object-word) reveal a deep executive function privilege. RealDems specialize in that & in that tone, and it’s a surefire trigger. You’re complicit.

If RBG and the m/paternalist RealDem club weren’t dweeb careerists with no other identity, who will never retire/step aside for the next generations, we wouldn’t be here. This is on them. Accept none of their finger pointing elsewhere. It’s them.

“Gonna vote our way out of this so hard.” -RealDems, probably

Keep ranting about electoralism and trying to shout down anyone refusing you.

I honestly believe that a lot of conservative strategizing is based on the correct assumptions that liberals would never be as ruthless as they are.

the list goes way, way on — the point is that the tradition of action that informs nearly all the anxious ruminations on 'what we can do now' comes entirely from bourgeois philosophy, i.e. the winners, and can therefore be of little use in periods of social defeat like this one

Tanks have pushed further into Rafah and parts of central Gaza as Israel intensifies its ground assault on the besieged enclave, while Palestinian health officials warn hospitals could run out of fuel within 48 hours.

AI in medicine:

Error in new lung transplant algorithm harmed sick and dying patientswww.chicagotribune.com A flawed new algorithm for distributing lungs to transplant patients wound up putting people with Type O blood at a disadvantage.

The ‘debates don’t matter’ crowd sure seems to be doing an awful lot of… debating about it.

Lotta folks who feigned concern about Palestine are coming out as basic RealDem vote chiding brainwormers in the wake of the Biden living wake this week. Cleaning up my timeline accordingly.

Cold day in April. 13 o’clock.

❌ It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ✅ A guy with money needs to get married. Everybody knows this.

Going to be unfollowing all who reveal themselves as garden variety circa 2016 left-bashing vote shamers. If that’s still the narrative, the total inaction of the past 8 years by THEM and the Dems can shriek into its little hand-wringy hall monitor teacher’s pet special me echo chamber.
