  • Not going to the dentist for lack of insurance/ability to pay is the alternative.

  • Or they were bored while a companion fished and dropped it accidentally.

  • Is this why George H is implicated in Epstein dumps for murdering an infant and consuming the entrails?

  • I'm not sure about the chicken brain but being as complex. They are extremely trainable, loyal, and demonstrate complex emotions. Except Rhode Island reds. They're aggressive AF.

  • This is terrible and important to read. I will have to finish it later, the bit about excusing the rape shook me. Crossposted, thank you.

  • In the view of many Israelis, if the Arabs decided to flee, Israel is not responsible for creating the Palestinian tragedy. But if Israel expelled the Palestinians and its troops apparently didn't hesitate to spill the blood of those who refused to leave, then a very dark cloud hangs over the period of the state's establishment. If the underlying mission of the nascent army was not to ensure "purity of arms" as conceived at the time – i.e., that soldiers will not harm innocent people and will only use their weapons against individuals who perpetrate violent acts – but rather to perpetuate ethnic cleansing, it follows that historical memory in Israel is a deception... Maxim Cohen was commander of the Carmeli Brigade, one of the largest and most prominent of the infantry brigades involved in the war, in 1948-49. Summoned to the witness stand by Lahis' lawyer, he provided gruesome testimony. "How do you expel a village?" he asked. "You lop off the ear of one of the Arabs before everyone else's eyes, and they all flee. In practice, no village was evacuated without stabbing someone in the stomach or by means of similar methods. We won thanks only to the fear of the Arabs, and they were fearful only of deeds that were not in accordance with the law." Haim Ben-David, an operations officer in Carmeli who rose to the rank of IDF major general and later became Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's military secretary, explained in his testimony that expulsion of Arabs was a routine matter and that the mop-up of an area "takes the form of killings," depending on the circumstances. "In our operative orders we were careful not to mention killing. The orders relating to conduct were orally conveyed to the battalion commanders," Ben-David explained, noting that written directives that came from the General Staff did not expressly call for the destruction of the villages, but actions on the ground were undertaken "with the knowledge of the High Command." What if an Arab insisted on remaining in his home? In that case "he gets a bullet," Ben-David told the court. "We knew the international laws, but I also know that we often did not behave according to those laws. We resorted to illegal means." Such means, he said, were also implemented against women and children. Another high-ranking officer called to the witness stand was Yosef Eitan, commander of the 7th Armored Brigade, who went on to become head of Central Command. Eitan referred to the disparity between written orders and what the troops were told orally: "I didn't see [a written order] to annihilate every living soul, but in the form of hints – that, yes." He added that officers in the field had "permission to interpret the order," adding that "our soldiers annihilated inhabitants" on the basis of directives they were given. Yisrael Carmi, a battalion commander in the 7th Brigade, testified in the Lahis trial about the conquest of Be'er Sheva in October 1948, explaining that the method was to kill civilians who resisted expulsion and that it was used in both the north and the south. "I conquered the city," Carmi testified. "In mopping up that area, I gave an order to annihilate anyone who appeared in the street, whether they resisted or did not resist. An order was given to destroy everything. After the conquest of the police station – after the surrender – the murder stopped. Until then everyone was killed – women and children and everyone. Then an order was given to the people to go to Hebron. Anyone who didn't go was 'removed'" (quotation marks in the original). Another archival file whose materials have been made available deals with the trial of soldiers who raped and murdered a Bedouin girl in the south, in 1949. The documents show how the killing of civilians served not only to expedite their expulsion, but also to prevent the return of Arabs to their lands. An operational command issued to soldiers in writing shortly after the cease-fire agreements ordered them "to shoot every Arab who is in the area as far as the armistice boundary." Signed by: A. Rosenblum. Captain. Commander of the line." The verdict in this case stated that the orders issued to soldiers "were unreservedly to shoot every Arab – hence it makes no difference whether it is a man or a woman, whether the Arab is armed or not, whether he flees or raises his hands and surrenders. If you saw an Arab while on patrol, you are obligated to shoot him." In light of this, the judges noted, it's difficult to see the soldiers as being responsible for murder, and accounts should be settled with them only for the rape. "If the officer had killed the Arab woman instead of 'taking' her, it's possible that he would not have merited punishment at all."

  • Polio vaccination has been the subject of major controversy in Pakistan since the CIA used a fake polio vaccination campaign to collect DNA samples from Osama bin Laden’s family, before the operation to assassinate Bin Laden in Abbottabad in 2011. That incident caused the polio vaccination campaign in Pakistan to suffer a serious setback—one of the problems Epstein was claiming to address via IPI. Epstein’s involvement in post-2011 polio efforts may cause further setbacks, 15 years after Bin Laden’s death. “Pakistan has never recovered from the fake vaccination campaign blow,” said one Pakistani doctor associated with the polio campaign. “Now this entire Epstein saga will just give more oxygen to anti-vaccine hysteria and put millions of Pakistani children at risk. Just the thought of Gates and Epstein ‘helping’ children is enough to give any parent nightmares.”

  • On Saturday, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said the United States is acting outside international law following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran. He also expressed hope that the situation will calm down so that a negotiated solution to the conflict can be pursued. “Right now, we are seeing that the United States is operating largely outside traditional international law,” Stubb said on Finland’s state television network YLE. According to Stubb, before carrying out attacks of this kind, Washington had typically sought approval from the United Nations or, at the very least, from its NATO allies — something that has not happened this time. “Now there has not been much consultation. There was no consultation in Venezuela, there was no consultation earlier during the 12-day war (between Israel and Iran in June 2025), nor has there been consultation now on this issue,” the Finnish president said. In his view, the attack by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iran demonstrates the transformation taking place in the global political landscape and in the international order. “When international institutions and norms are not respected, a power vacuum is created that makes this kind of attack possible,” Stubb said.

  • In one case, a department store's team of 60 developers generated more traffic than global cable modem users worldwide due to misconfigured React Native builds bypassing their Nexus repository manager. He detailed extreme examples, such as large organizations downloading the same 10,000 components a million times each month. "That's ridiculous," Fox said. Throttling efforts led to "brownouts" via 429 errors, but patterns mutated, forcing a "Whack-a-Mole" game, especially since most consumption is headless and unnoticed. Registries are also burdened by commercial use, with companies publishing closed source components or massive SDKs as free CDNs. Fox noted that top publishers release gigabyte-scale artifacts daily, unlike in typical open source projects.
