Bytemeister , in Condemned inmate Brian Dorsey could face surgery without anaesthesia if vein is elusive

That fucking dumb. It's not humane in the slightest.

Why not have a backup method, like the spike that shoots into the skull and injects high pressure air to scramble the brain? Could be done in a millisecond, death would occur before the brain had any time to register pain.

Or let them live another day and then randomly fill their room with nitrogen while they sleep.

Or better yet, just let them die of old age. It costs less than putting them to death anyway.

most active on record so far

livus OP ,

Yeah, we're going to look back on this era as the time when we still had good weather.

Devi , in Elephant kills 80-year-old US tourist in Zambia

That's so sad. People do tend to forget that this kind of thing is dangerous. The risks are low but they're definitely there.

I'd like to know what happened before the video started and if the tour guide was breaking any protocols.

At first I thought this headline was written by a pirate who was accusing me in particular of wanting to shave heads and lock kids in cages.

Jacobin playing apologetics for a military junta because US bad. Color me surprised.

pennomi , in What World Central Kitchen does and why the attack that killed 7 volunteers in Gaza matters

While it may not have been their direct intention to murder relief workers, the relief withdrawal certainly plays to Israel’s advantage.

phoneymouse ,

I mean, at this point haven’t enough innocent people died to satiate Israel’s thirst for blood? 1200 Israelis died. 30,000 innocents and now relief workers. Israel is even killing hostages themselves. It’s all so damn senseless. What the hell are they trying to achieve? What ever it is, it isn’t justified.

pennomi ,

Very close to 33,000 now, out of 2.1 million total residents, or 1.57% of all citizens. That is a terrifyingly high number.

livus ,

It is. In under 6 months it's already halfway to the percentage in the Bosnian Genocide, which was in 2 years.

DarkShaggy ,

Don't encourage them!!!

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

It definitely was. This was a precision strike.

pennomi ,

I mean there’s a lot of reasons why it could’ve been an accident. Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits. Could also be intentional, of course.

But even IF it was an accident, it shows that Israel is not responsible enough to have these weapons, and the US should immediately stop sending more.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits.

I mean that'd be possible if it was one time, but nope. More than 200 aid workers have been murdered by the IDF in Gaza.

Son_of_dad , in Ye wanted to shave Donda Academy students' heads and lock kids in cages, ex-employee says in lawsuit

Not that the kids deserve it but the parents are morons for sending their kids there

livus , in The US War on Terror in West Africa Is a Continuing Disaster

Great article, thanks!

livus , in What World Central Kitchen does and why the attack that killed 7 volunteers in Gaza matters

Since then, WCK has organized food relief operations in the wake of disasters — both human-made and natural — in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, the Bahamas, Cambodia as well as Ukraine.

WCK made its U.S. debut in August 2017 by working with the American Red Cross to provide thousands of meals to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

Fuck Israel.

Madison_rogue , in A Former Maryland Governor Ignored Warnings About Mega-Ships

In 1980, when a ship collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida, killing thirty-five people, a top state engineer said the Key Bridge could not withstand a similar crash. “I’m talking about the main supports, a direct hit — it would knock it down,” the official reportedly told the Baltimore Sun.

Seems ignoring the warning signs for the bridge is a long standing tradition amongst Maryland politicians.

Fuck Larry Hogan. No idea how Marylanders decided to elect a fucking Republican for so long. Incumbency bias has never had such a good example.

@roastedDeflator@kbin.social avatar

I think it's important that this article mentions this nonsensical movement called effective altruism.

morphballganon , in Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble

Cool.

Now do the insurrectionist.

xantoxis , in Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble

Well, the court that put him in prison very much did not get duped
