I think the ratio is up to 43 now, actually.

And Israel bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital again last night, murdering five of the hospital workers there.

Unfortunately, they’re instead deciding to double down in every way possible.

I’m posting this one rather than the Washington Post article directly because that one’s behind a paywall. There’s still a link to it in this article if you do have personal access.

Not even a real bet to make. I mean: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/summer-reads/article/2024/09/09/how-the-sound-of-freedom-captivated-trump-s-conspiracy-fueled-base_6725321_183.html

The good thing is that each usage thus far has only been in the narrow strips of hiding trees, so there’s no risk of a large fire breaking out. A lot of the people whining on social media about killing trees are purposefully ignoring that fact.

It’s hilarious that DeSantis praised her two years ago for her great community work for women and now he’s trying to backpedal with “but I didn’t know she was trans”. He really can’t help with his foot in mouth disease on every front.

Goddamn, he’s such a creepy weirdo.

I admit, I wasn’t expecting them to go as far as using “Colored” as a general insult. Do they seriously think this helps Trump’s chances?

Anyone want to bet that he’s going to use the assassination attempt as an argument for essentially saying Democrat politicians should be killed instead because “we’re in a war”?

If Trump doesn’t push that, I feel like Tucker Carlson, who apparently has been picked as a headliner for the convention, likely will.

Not under their new owner, since he’s the one that pushed for the definition change in the first place, among many other blatantly biased changes to the ADL in the past decade.

"Earshot found that with the minimum registered interval of 24 milliseconds, this tank would have to have been positioned just 13 metres away from the car. With the maximum interval of 40 milliseconds, the tank would have still been only 23 metres away from the car. This analysis suggests that the tank had to be positioned within close range (13–23 metres) of the car when it fired the shots that killed Layan. At such proximity, it is not plausible that the shooter could not have seen that the car was occupied by civilians, including children.

Earshot’s audio ballistic analysis supports the final words of Layan Hamada: the gunfire came from a tank that was next to them."

"Comparing the exit hole and varying levels of destruction helps reconstruct the cone of impact from the explosion, and in turn, reveals the direction from which the ambulance was shot (Figure 13). This direction is consistent with the location of Israeli tanks visible in satellite imagery from between 29 January and 8 February.

Our assessment of the position of the tanks at the time of the attack, together with the direction of the shot, suggests that the ambulance was likely hit by ammunition from an Israeli tank."

The issue will be if these temps become standard and consistent over a wider time period. For one, that could adversely affect crop growth and development.

It’s happening across the midwest as well. It’s supposed to hit 102 on Monday in Nebraska.

Elder said he and his team were prevented from delivering their aid shipment and forced to turn back that day.

“We spent about eight or nine hours at military checkpoints. In the end, our truck, despite all the approvals, was denied access and returned … Yes, we will try again. Obviously, we’ll try again. But this is consistent with the denials that we and many other agencies have experienced,” Elder said.

Israel has previously said that it allows hundreds of trucks carrying aid to enter Gaza daily, and the Israeli government has blamed the U.N. for failing to distribute it.

Sounds like we can’t trust the IDF’s numbers on aid trucks being let in if they’re counting ones they initially let in and then forced to leave at a later checkpoint.

Unfortunately, true. There’s a number of terrible pseudoscience pushers out there. But that’s exactly why we need actual pro-science people in political office. We need more scientists in general who actually understand the fields in question, rather than just lawyers who frequently ignore what their scientific advisors are saying.

Nice. Doctors are one of the groups of people in the best position to run for office, since they already make a good amount of money to keep themselves going in a political campaign. It’s a lot more difficult for other professions to do the same without monetary backing.

Apparently terms that anyone over 12 years old doesn’t find funny anymore count as “adult”.

Is this conservatives admitting that they are all just immature children?
