It’s cute how you’ve deluded yourself into believing that Netanyahu wants peace.

He specifically chose that his resignation would take effect today, because they a paycheck today. Gotta milk it for every last little bit of cash they can grab!

There are two types of polio vaccine: inactivated polio virus (given by a shot) and oral polio virus (OPV). OPV is a lot easier to give in rural and impoverished areas, or areas where it may be difficult for healthcare workers to get access. However, because it’s given orally and because it contains a very weak but live form of polio virus, there’s the chance that the recipient (while immune themselves) may continue to replicate and carry the virus in their intestinal tract. They may then pass the virus in their feces.

In an area with a functioning sewage system, this is generally a negligible risk. In an area where everyone is vaccinated and has a functioning immune system, this is generally a negligible risk. In an area where possibly not everyone is vaccinated, or where people’s bodies are starting to break down due to starvation, and where the sewage system has been deliberately blown up, this is almost inevitable.

This is also intentional. In the concentration camps, a significant portion of the deaths were due to diseases that ripped through the camps, where the inmates were severely and deliberately malnourished, chronically overworked, had minimal protection from the elements, and were provided little hygiene or healthcare. The only difference with Gaza is that it’s a bigger camp, and instead of being overworked, the inmates are repeatedly forced to move from one area to another to another.

GenX here. I remember the period we were all figuring out our values and politics, trying to get our ideas passed and bring told (essentially) to just wait our turn. And still pushing and pushing and being ignored, then the realization that they weren’t going to give up willingly and still being patient. And then eventually realizing that everything was just going to skip over us entirely. I’m sorry we didn’t get the chance to leave a better world for everyone else. We did try, we were just outnumbered.

Before you get into products or transplants or whatever, maybe try changing some habits? American College of Dermatology has an article on 10 things you may be doing that lead to damage or hair loss (along with what you can change to do it “right”). “Wrong” things include rubbing your hair dry with a towel and using the wrong-size comb.

Article here.

This is from a 2014 Time article called “War on Poverty in the Pages of LIFE: Portraits From an Appalachian Battleground, 1964” which (as you would expect from an article focusing on LIFE magazine) has a number of interesting photographs. This particular one has the description:

Looks like OP was going to eat it with a fork (?floppy crust?) and then decided to take a picture first.

Through tears, he mentioned a British tabloid article which included a picture of his wife. “That’s when I broke down,” Van de Velde said. “I did something wrong, ten years ago. I have to accept that. But hurting people around me—whether it’s [teammate Matthew Immers], my wife, my child… that just goes too far for me.

He didn’t care about the kid he raped, or her family and friends and how he ruined her life. He only cared when a newspaper showed a picture of his wife. :/

Michel Everaert, the general director of the Dutch Volleyball Association (Nevobo), also claimed Tuesday that the booing Van de Velde faced had been instigated by British newspapers. “It’s just organized,” Everaert said when asked about how the booing increased during the Games, according to the Brabants Dagblad newspaper. “They stirred up the whole story, those English tabloids.

… Is the Dutch government unfamiliar with Olympics coverage? Every Olympics, the athletes’ histories get examined and shared with the public. Did they somehow expect that this would not be covered by the press?

Honestly, if I’d been tied to that dipshit my entire life, I wouldn’t go out of my way to be spending more time or effort on him.

iirc, the conference was an hour long. Meaning Trump told just under 3 lies per minute.

But when Trump told Russia to go ahead and hack the Clinton campaign and release the data, and like three days later, Russia did exactly that, that was fine.

there is no explanation of where the millions of gallons of water per month are going.

The article says “The hotel and conference facility on the property is not operating”. They’ve been building on the site since the late 1800’s, the current hotel was built in 1939, and Wikipedia says “In March of 1992, the resort went for sale with no buyers. […] The resort was vacant till sold to San Manuel in 2017.”

How about a leak? The property has over 130 years of buildings being put up, burnt down, and demolished; the current building had 25 years of neglect and isn’t even currently being used. How about burst waterpipes? Doesn’t even have to be one at the current hotel, could be one from the old resort that everyone’s forgotten about. Or could be one under the current hotel that’s in the process of making a massive sinkhole. That’s my guess.

Regardless, I’m glad of this. The whole private companies making money off of public resources really bothers me.

She says she read it on another post and reposted it, adding in the “if this is true”. She deleted her tweet later on and said that people should’ve been doing their own fact-checking, a comment I found a bit rich considering that she didn’t fact-check before making her own post.

Oh, JFC!! :

“When considering patient pain, it is important to recognize that the experience of pain is individualized and might be influenced by previous experiences including trauma and mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety,” according to the CDC’s guidance.

So after decades of being told this pain is all in our heads, we finally get pain relief - and they’re still claiming it’s all in our fucking heads!!

Those who fail to cope are threatened with dismissal and ‘execution.’

Sounds like motivation for the rail chiefs and their families to hop a train out of the country.

I was so afraid for Ukraine when Russia invaded. And I know it’s taken a lot of effort from the Ukrainian people, but I am massively impressed by their resilience in Fighting this war.

Trump tells Fox News that he announced Walz was a ‘good person’ to dissuade protesters from surrounding his house

Ah, I see, he’s trying both to retract his previous comments and cast himself as the hero. Got it.

Walz […] has previously said it was tweets by Trump that “brought armed people to my house” in the first place, including members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group.

headdesk

You know that puritanical piece inside a lot of religious and right-leaning people? The one that winces away from knowing anything about women’s health because it’s “yucky”? They’re hoping to contaminate Walz with the yuck and hoping it stems some of their people from defecting.
