Violating intimacies

Israeli soldiers have photographed themselves posing with the lingerie of Palestinian women they have displaced or killed in Gaza. They join a long line of conquest images, from Abu Ghraib images to the spectacle of Jim Crow-era lynchings.

The Culture series really reveals how cowardly sci-fi has been, both politically and in terms of actually imagining alternative systems (which is to say, politically).

Like it blew my mind when I realized The Player of Games was published at the height of the AIDS crisis. The protagonist is regarded as being weird for never having tried same sex or (built in) sex alteration. All his Culture friends are queer.

Alright fediverse, settle an important ethical argument: If you take your stoned friend to Costco and they naturally buy a pallet of Takis, was bringing them there in said "less-than-fully-rational" state unethical?

This is difficult. You'd really have to know the person to find out how out of character they are and what they are likely to think about their behavior afterwords.

I want to get uncomfortably into drinking tea but I'm not sure where to start. Do I get an electric kettle or one of those things that automatically infuses at a certain temperature? What style tea?

I've been pondering this for years and still have yet to come up with answers.

I am now watching Delicious in Dungeon. It's about a party, strapped for cash, that is trying to dungeon delve without buying any food. So they're just eating monsters and random plants in the dungeon. Reminds me of cooking in Made in Abyss a bit in that regard.

Look people can leave prison with all kinds of neonazi takes, no martyr is beyond critique, but imagine trying to call out a universally beloved and on point anarchist hero who went in before smartphones were a thing for walking out of prison wearing a mildly problematic local sports team hat.

@rechelon Wait, just saw the image. They're upset over a fucking arrow head logo? Was expecting at least a native American on the hat.

@rechelon I just looked into it, I wasn't aware they were one of the teams where the fans do the chop gesture.
Oh.

Just a stab in the dark, but maybe the way to piss everyone off is keep the name, and make the logo a giant white French hat.
Possibly even keep the pronunciation.

Every homeopathic eye drop should be pulled off the market, FDA says

Eye drops are uniquely risky because the eye is an immune-privileged site.

@arstechnica
Weird how the FDA is fine with other fraudulent products on the shelves, but it's illegal for me to throw all homeopathic "medicines" in a pile and torch them while at the store.

Also medicines that work are restricted because gasp someone might make them into recreational drugs!
