I'm just. When is it going to be over? I'm scared of how much longer this is going to continue. There is no bombing campaign like this in history since Laos. And if it continues for a few years it might surpass it. And that's not even talking about the ground invasion and the blockade. There's just genuinely no history of a combination of atrocious conditions being imposed and used to terrorise a population like this in such intensity for so long. There's snipers, tanks, air strikes, starvation, blockade & siege, destruction of all means of accessing water, pollution, biological warfare, chemical warfare, systemic impoverishment, systemic kidnappings and torture, systemic mutilation, organ theft, etc... how many more months of this can Ghazzans take? How much longer before our efforts collapse the system that produced this monstrosity?
I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
The fact that Chappell Roan makes nothing but bops really saved her from more people pointing out that "Hit it like rom pom pa pom / get it hot like Papa John" is genuinely one of the stupidest lyrics ever recorded
A 28-year-old motorcyclist died in Washington State on Friday afternoon because a dipshit Tesla driver rear-ended him at speed. A Snohomish man, 56, was commuting in his 2022 Tesla Model S when he activated the car’s camera-based advanced driver assist system and according to his statements to police, began looking through his phone. With nobody paying attention to the car’s actions, the Tesla software ignored Jeffrey Nissen on his motorcycle and continued on at speed. The car rear-ended the two-wheeler, Nissen was flung from the bike, and his life ended pinned underneath the electric car, where he was still lodged when police arrived to the scene.
Tesla claims another life.
Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.
My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.
Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.
There are images of decomposed bodies wearing what appear to be scrubs... with their hands tied. Meaning they were executed while bound. I will not be sharing them because I'm tired of showing our martyrs' bodies to people.
