‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

This and also the haber bosch process is very neat! Around 4% of the human body is Nitrogen, (the rest is oxygen, hydrigen, carbon, all sorts of trace minerals) and for humans born after a certain time a great deal of the nitrogen that you're born with originated from that process!!

*Statues of Jesus* have more legal protections than Palestinians or Lebanese civilians, who you can slaughter in droves without complaints

This is a five-alarm fire and should be covered as such by the media.

Just under the surface of these discussions of animal instincts, pas-sions, and "phrenzies" lurked sexual violence. All women, of every class, status, and skin color, were subject to the threat, enslaved women especially so. Increasingly through the decades leading to the Civil War, abolitionists began to identify slavery as a moral evil, corrosive of republican principles, and slavers responded by defending the institution as a "positive good," helping to elevate republican virtue. Slaves were commodities, bought and sold in the market. But owning a large number of slaves, southern cavaliers said, allowed slavers to rise above the grub of the market and cultivate more refined, chivalric qualities.
Rape was an instrument of this refinement. Enslaved women were, as defenders of slavery put it, "safety valves," helping to redirect the lust of white men away from white women and allowing southerners to distinguish their section of the country as genteel and mannerly.

In the haber bosch process you see how the tools we make become integrated into what we are, for better or worse. We are all cyborgs, and I mean that in the derogatory way at least half of the time. The other half is cool tho.

But we really must ponder the haber-bosch process. A great deal of the nitrogen that is integrated into *your* body's structure was produced from it.

Been wearing my barbed wire necklace everyday. Sometimes you gotta do exposure therapy for the drip. Desensitize the swag. Overstimulation is a serious obstacle to putting that shit on.

That world seems fine, lol. If the justices want to impose personal partisan preferences from the bench, why should their legal reasoning be exempt from partisan discourse?

If intelligence does not capture pattern recognition, the capacity to reason beyond the pattern and the flexibility to know when that pivot would be necessary then I genuinely don't know what it is.

Constantly scanning the environment for resources, creating frameworks for tue environmental patterns around you, and being able to notice when the environment is violating that framework and update your plan accordingly

If one were particularly cynical, they'd conclude that attacks on Middle Eastern Christians are actually fine as long as they kill some of them too. It's when you damage property alone that you get in real trouble

I still don't fully understand why that IDF soldier pulling a statue of Christ off that crucifix and smashing its head in with a hammer is doing more diplomatic harm than the attacks on the Holy Family Church in Gaza did

A lot of centrists on twitter are watching videos full of middle-aged white people in Michigan being pissed at Stevens and pretending they show brown college students. It's all very transparent

they are trying to get the price possible for their reproductive capacity, which seems to be thw only part of them.that men consistently value.

Also I think the trad girlies comes out of this too. They basically saw that there wasn't a set of actions that you could take to prevent men from deciding you were a stupid bitch and that men weren't really excited by romantic love between equals, so ...

I think there was a weird moment where women had some more financial agency and were broadly ignorant about how men spoke about women when women weren't there. The internet showed gen z women what locker room talk looked like before marriage/ life in general wore us down and we can still get jobs

My thing is - it's possible to find a normal relationship. It's plain that there are more surly gen x men intates audience than men in my age group (you'll notice the median age group of the editorial boards ditching about young women) and it is still fucking insane out here

I think people were way too blase about "going after birth control" once Roe was overturned. Like, I doubt that it will become nation-wide illegal any time soon, but there is a lot they can do to limit access at the margins and expand from their.
