Why would you remember that Drakes mother is Jewish, and not simply that Drake is half Jewish?

Is this just word count writing? Just a weird ass unnatural way to phrase it, very few celebrities parents are noteworthy enough to be part of the common knowledge around that artist.

The fact that one of the proposed murder methods is not actually known to be physically viable, as in possible in the sense of physical laws, should have been a red flag for any serious nation.

Other babies, he said, had been harmed through another method: the intentional injection of too much air or fluid, or both, into their nasogastric tubes. “This naturally ‘blows up’ the stomach,” he wrote to me. The stomach becomes so large, he said, that the lungs can’t inflate normally, and the baby can’t get enough oxygen.

When I asked him if he could point me to any medical literature about this process, he responded, “There are no published papers regarding a phenomenon of this nature that I know of.” (Several doctors I interviewed were baffled by this proposed method of murder and struggled to understand how it could be physiologically or logistically possible.)

Honestly reading through the rest of this article, even bearing in mind the obvious angle, Lucy Letby sounds like she was working like a fucking hero at the worst place in British healthcare, what a disaster.

Getting to the bit where she gets out of a fucking Salsa class and has 3 missed calls about giving a certain treatment to a baby was horrible, just the second hand stress reading that makes you wanna vomit.

Literally just the equivalent of blood libel against Arabs, that they have an ancient fundamental desire to murder Jews.

At what point will Zionists just unironically start labeling their ideology as semitism?

It should be illegal to name your dogshit fraud brand after random words in the dictionary but no, this shit is what they go after.

Can’t have a guy register his website as McDonkalds, end of the world.

Even if this was real, which it wasn’t, mentioning a fancy and expensive sandwich is probably not gonna be a problem just as long as you talk about what you love about the sandwich rather than how expensive it is.

It’s journalism anyways, people are gonna be used to having to hang out with rich assholes.

Also took a look at the article itself and he thinks doing right wing whataboutism and “this superficially sounds like this other thing” type shit was brave internal truthtelling at NYT.

Seems very plausible but at the same time the article isn’t particularly good, I feel.

It’s very general and doesn’t really provide sources and citations for things like what the specific effects of certain drugs were, subprojects are named but the scope and focus not defined at all.

Particularly I feel like the connection between a treatment of anti-depressants and ECT to the process of “depatterning” is very loose, since depatterning involved full on sedation or induced paralysis while being subjected to looped tape messages, if that is what Paul Robeson was subjected to thats one thing, but intentionally excessive ECT treatment would be a separate treatment and method.

Basically my issue is I don’t feel like this article is actually much more useful or informative to the reader than just reading basically the sentence “Paul Robeson was a victim of the CIA” on it’s own, I don’t think the references to specific MKULTRA terms are of much worth due to just kind of being strewn about conspiratorially.

Like searching for Subproject 111 seems to bring up descriptions of studying how people perform at simple tasks depending on various regular motivators, in isolation relatively mundane but something that would interest the CIA in connection to every other point in the MKULTRA spiderweb, but it doesnt help much to reference it in the article.

Neither does it feel very useful to reference doctors as having links to MKULTRA based on having been connected to hospitals that had projects going on there, because that eventually just becomes a huge % of psychiatrists and doctors in America at that time in general, due to the nature of MKULTRA as contracting out and funding experiments rather than having one special CIA guy for each project.

Also just a side note but they reference an “MKULTRA historian”, “Mike Minnicino” without citing what he actually has written on the subject, and I cant seem to find anyone who fits that name and description except a now deceased actual Larouchite who seems to have been the one who coined the term “Cultural Marxism” before denouncing that work after Anders Breiviks terror attacks in Norway.

This is relatively common in exile atrocity propaganda circles, I recall there was a separate case where a woman went from claiming to be a hired teacher in the reeducation camps to having been actually an inmate as well, and having snuck into a restricted area to see Chinese ground invasion plans just sorta scattered about.

I mean, as a white person I feel like I can at least comment that it kinda comes off like it’s at least to some extent aimed for me to sorta cheer on from the sidelines for.

Can’t exactly comment on wether a scene like this ought to have that vibe or not for white people, but it does make me stop and think like, hang on a minute.

Did the pope read theory when he tweeted about how people want to ideologically colonize the human rights declaration with gender theory?

Its just dumb regardless of torment nexus status, people explore their favorite stories by consuming those stories in their intended form, and if they “explore their favorite IPs” then they are a hog, but hog status aside they usually also consume it in the form of actual media or physical spaces like a theme park or whatever.

Physicality matters! People don’t generally actually like things that attempt to reproduce the experience and limitations of physical space without being actually physical, if it’s not real then it should just be a website.

But on the topic of the torment nexus, if someone tells you ready player one was a cautionary tale or whatever they are dumb or lying, that shit worships IP masturbation so incredibly hard, the whole plot is about making the metaverse cool and awesome by taking it away from centralized corporations(in a dumb crypto guy way.)

Love the implication that the staff would custom produce airplane themed not-keffiyeh lookalike scarves for plausibly deniable Palestine support.

Absolute projection from a Brit to say this about the French when the absolute world consensus is that the French are smug self loving assholes.

Meanwhile as Ive stated in extensive rants, the Brits wont even stand up for themselves, if you shit on them they wont say that anything British is actually good, they’ll just say everyone else is worse and subhuman.

Again one of those things thats just gonna fuel antisemitism and holocaust denial, do the libs just think that as long as they keep sowing and never stop, nothing will have time to grow for the reaping?

Huldra, 6 months ago

Libs try to frame it as like, since both candidates will genocide Gaza then that means we have to focus on the other harms, but any reasonable person should see it as such a hideous amount of harm being done that harm reduction in this framework is like reducing a desert by removing grains of sand from it.

This is a work of art, you can just keep looking and finding worse brainworms, it’s like hamas is splitting my brain with that big cleaver.

Only one I cant figure out is the one wearing like a medieval cap and robe on the western side.

Was there an ethical obligation to share the defibrillator?

The answer is not obvious.

Next paragraph.

Officials and experts said there was apparently no legal obligation for the de Young to share the device.

They highlighted several complicating considerations: What if the staffer had lent it out, and minutes later someone at the museum collapsed and needed it, they asked. And why should he lend it quickly to a distressed stranger, not knowing if it was a thief trying to make off with a device that usually costs around $2,000?

What if two people at the museum collapse at the same time and require defibrillating? What if the thief actually needed that money to save 3 lives?

I know what motherfucker ghostwrote this drivel.

The Russian speaking minority population in the east of Ukraine, particularly in the breakaway republics that formed after 2014, who are subject to policies to suppress the Russian language as well as the republics being subjected to prolonged bombing campaigns and attacks by far right militias.

If Putin funded this uprising, then Putin and Russia is a better country than Sweden.

A couple of bad elections could turn Sweden about as reactionary as Russia, but there is no amount of elections that could conceivably make us fund Palestinian liberation.

Huldra, 7 months ago

The mere suggestion has raised my opinion of Putin, but it doesn’t seem true considering how the suggestions of it being so is basically just “It benefits Russia if more than one thing is happening in the geopolitics at once.”

The first one that was deliberately a horror film that I can recall is seeing the very start of Aliens on tv and getting to the point where the soldiers discover the woman who gets chestburst, then immediately shutting the tv off and going to bed.

There must have been some scary childrens movies along the way but thats the first one I can remember that was too much for me.

Come on, this asshole is totally still relevant enough to get a trillion dollars in legal aid from the white nationalist establishment, and he 100% knows it.
