JoeKrogan , in Griselda review – this intense Narcos spinoff is so much fun it’s appalling
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

If you like this you should watch cocaine godmother. It gives a background into her childhood and shows her as a more ruthless person.

Show was ok, I thought it could have been longer with more depth.

the_q , in Google’s Lumiere brings AI video closer to real than unreal

Again... Why can't AI replace CEOs and politicians instead of artists?

humorlessrepost , in Patients say keto helps with their mental illness. Science is racing to understand why

Plenty of studies showing mild brain inflammation can cause anxiety and ocd.

Keto reduces inflammation.

Not saying that’s the mechanism, but it seems plausible.

rockSlayer , in Patients say keto helps with their mental illness. Science is racing to understand why

This is just my personal thoughts, but I feel like a scientifically sound dietary restriction that is effective at weight loss means people have a better body image. Body image would improve mental health for most people seeking out keto as a diet.

I welcome the research, but I feel like the reason is social rather than biology.

gaylord_fartmaster , in My dad survived the Holocaust and today I ask this of you: resist the antisemitism blighting our world | Tracy Moses

My dad survived a genocide, so you know what important lesson I'm going to spread to the world today?

"Don't genocide", whoops, what I actually meant is, "Don't be mean to Jewish people specifically".

DoYouNot ,

I mean, the article doesn't address Israel at all. Antisemitism is deplorable, and instances of antisemitic behavior do indeed seem to be on the rise. But to equate Jews and the crimes of the Israeli state is, in fact, antisemitic. And I say this while fully condemning the genocidal actions of the IDF in Gaza. If we condemn all Jews for the crimes of a lawless militant group, we are committing the same crime of collective punishment that Israel is enacting in its full brutality.

gaylord_fartmaster ,

If your soapbox is that your dad survived a genocide, and there are multiple active genocides happening globally (I didn't even specifically mention Israel), and the message you feel the need to broadcast is "don't be antisemitic", then you clearly don't give a shit about anyone who isn't Jewish.

You could even just say don't be intolerant or a bigot, but nope.

DoYouNot ,

Yeah, you know what - fair point.

rhacer , in Venezuela Court Bars Opposition Leader From Running for President

How despicable! How do you have free elections where you ban the opposition.

I wonder if there are any other countries where this kind of thing is happening.

Mr_Blott , in Alonso, like Klopp, gets Liverpool – is it the right time for an Anfield return?

Your headline makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

guyinachair , in Haitians are desperate after Kenyan court blocks police force deployment

Can someone explain to me how a court in Kenya could stop UN deployed troops halfway across the world in Haiti?

eatthecake ,

https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/kenyan-court-says-police-cannot-deploy-haiti-mission-2024-01-26/

High Court Judge Chacha Mwita ruled that, under Kenyan law, the authorities could only deploy officers abroad if a "reciprocal arrangement" was in place with the host government.
"Any further action or steps taken by any state organ or state officer in furtherance of such a decision, contravenes the constitution and the law and is therefore unconstitutional, illegal and invalid," Mwita said.

The Kenyan government had offerred to lead a mission to Haiti but it has been ruled unconstitutional.

littlebluespark , in US approves $23bn sale of F-16 war planes to Turkey
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Really. "War planes". Did you run out of allegories? How about technical terms? Fresh out of subtlety? Too underpaid & overworked to GAF? Sure, that tracks. But, "war planes"? That's schoolyard hyperbole, FFS.

LesserAbe , in Kenya high court rules against plan to deploy hundreds of police to Haiti

I know there's some valid concerns about the Kenyan plan, but for Haiti's sake I hope something is worked out soon.

ThePyroPython , in King Charles in hospital for prostate treatment

Unless we're expecting to pay for ANOTHER royal funeral and coronation, I could not give a shit about the King's arse!

Maiznieks , in Paris 2024: What you need to know about the summer Olympics and Paralympics

Dont care, wont watch because russia is not banned.

Visstix ,

It says russia and belarus are banned in the article though. The athletes have to compete without representing a country if that's what you mean.

Maiznieks ,

Still means they are not banned. I briefly checked the last olympics, russia made abig deal out of each medal, even though they did not represent country.

Visstix , in Ursula von der Leyen calls for ‘consensus’ amid ‘polarisation’ in agriculture as French farmers continue protests – Europe live
