3/ When I see russians castrating or decapitating a Ukrainian soldier, I am no longer shocked or even surprised, because it's a normal thing for the russian army and society to do.
The only reason to be a communist in your 30s is if you have stunted mental development and have failed to achieve Jungian self-actualization.
Communists don’t take responsibility for their own lives, instead blaming capitalism for their failures and waiting for utopia.
@scrotus2024 @eyeslasho@wesyang It’s not “benign as hell”. Honesty is a basic part of being a good man, and we should expect some dignity in our highest offices to not be total bullshit artists. And b4u say “all politicians lie” or shit about Iraq, yes - but the sheer quantity w/ DJT is a dangerous precedent
Tough listening to the interview with former hostage 75 year old Ada Sagi. She was a peace activist who taught Arabic prior to being kidnapped to try to improve relationships with Palestinian neighbors.
She now says she no longer believes peace is possible because Hamas has no interest in it and other Palestinians are too afraid of Hamas.
Sagi describes how Hamas paid Gaza University students 70 shekels (~15 USD) per day to guard her and other hostages.
She was held in different “civilian” houses in Khan Younis before being taken to Nasser Hospital with other hostages.

@alphachadleft@PaulSkallas Gay people don’t accidentally get pregnant. Thus, as a whole are just more likely to be able to work the odd and long hours typical of artistic professions.
Its hard to play night sets when you have to put toddlers to bed. Its hard to balance groundbreaking art and kids.
@yishan@DanielleFong Complete misread. He was talking about scientific work, not being forgotten as a person. Like if you do your “science” behind closed doors and never publish, even if you make a lot of money for it, the work will never live on.
The bodies of four hostages were discovered:
in Rafah,
in a tunnel,
inside of an UNRWA building.
The American government can never again fund UNRWA. Ever.
Many know about how in 1948 Palestinians rejected partition.
But did you know that in 1939, the British offered Arabs all of Palestine and they rejected it because it required getting along with Jews?
The Palestinian slogan was “The English to the sea and Jews to the grave.”
@blakeburris@Alkibiades_ Yes, precisely. Those canes they have are used for walking. These old Italians climb stairs with a bag of groceries and walk every day. They probably have great VO2 max for their age.
@KcAlex7@silverhawk2008@OwenJones84 Ah, GENTLE child hostage taking! That’s your angle. Please explain that with a straight face to middle America. 🤦♂️
