been saying for years this was a workplace retaliation case that went brits up

In summing up, the judge also told the jury that if they were sure about deliberate harm in any one case, they were entitled to infer the same in other babies, even if the precise cause was not known. These insulin cases were the first on which the jury reached a guilty verdict, and were two of only three guilty verdicts that were unanimous.

This paragraph alone gives me heart palpitations

By early January 2023 the tribunal had renewed restrictions that had been placed on Hindmarsh the previous month, after an application by the GMC. The tribunal stated: "In all the circumstances the tribunal considers that there is information to suggest that Prof Hindmarsh may pose a real risk to members of the public, if he were permitted to return to unrestricted clinical practice, given the number and nature of the concerns, involving paediatric [child] patients."

Every day a new horrifying development in the persecution of Lucy Letby. What do you mean the prosecution’s “pivotal” expert witness was himself under investigation and considered a risk to child patients.

What Charlie Kirk did for me was create an org whose watchlist targeted mostly Black & Brown jr professors who named white supremacy & other oppressions. For years, I got rape threats & death threats. Thanks Dept of Ed for featuring Kirk & reminding the rest of us how much you hate us.

Trump not doing much to discredit my "vanity war" thesis here

The regime is so siloed that one set of viziers poured Nazi gasoline all over everything and then another group lit the Israel match and threw it right on top of the gas puddle.

AGAIN.

On an almost incomprehensibly larger scale.

This is AFTER they nuked Heritage Foundation by getting its president to effectively declare solidarity with Tucker Carlson and his Nazi friends in front of all the Christian Zionists who need Israel so they can make the apocalypse happen

One faction of viziers spent 13 months saying "no forever wars" and babying their isolationist Nazi base and feeding them dog whistle content

And then another faction sold the mad king a war and then went on TV and basically said, "we did it because Israel told us we had to"

Incredible

This discussion is worthwhile, but lost in the chaos is the fact that Tehran is literally running dry and, if a single one of the dams that supply the city is damaged, 7M people may die of thirst leaving a squabble over who runs the graveyard.

It's super annoying that genuinely straight hair isn't even all that common among Europeans, and yet nobody ever seems to know how to cut anything that so much as has waves

I trim my own hair because I got tired of paying money to stylists who inevitably refuse to get it through their heads that I don't straighten my hair, and give me cuts that do nothing for how I actually wear my hair.

I'm not going back to a stylist until I get sick of it long and go super short.

my neighbor told me SAMs keep eating his fighter jets so I asked how many fighter jets he has and he says he just goes to congress and gets a new fighter jet afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding fighter jets to SAMs and then his taxpayers started crying

first they fed fighter jets to the sea, now they are feeding fighter jets to the air

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

This is what all the gym bros who are on steroids eat

They aren't doing 5D chess with this they just think "doing this for Israel" is actually popular

I will say that is probably not a great sign that the alternative reading of Rubio's statement is that they are intentionally attempting to create an antisemitic backlash to cover for their bad foreign policy decisions

*Bollywood people have surprisingly long memories, and having their favorite offshored luxury money-laundry hit with rockets, I think they're gonna remember this

*Not sure what they'll *do* about it, but it will be motivating

I chopped about 5 inches off my hair and it barely made a dent, which I suppose was a sign I waited too long to trim it.

They're street legal in Florida, but I don't know how people go about importing them

Dang, I missed that story, that's some serious stupidity

#Logic!

Seriously though, people are way overestimating the secrecy of places that are marked on maps.

Right, like, where do they think the news is getting that information from?

Oh noes, bad opsec!

Apparently they're going to miss all the labels on Google maps and go straight to Facebook

As I 5’8 point guard in high school I was also *nearly* in the NBA.

The idea of attempting to send in a Kurdish force and encourage a Kurdish uprising seems like a very roundabout way to break Turkey out of NATO

Where do they think those airplanes that do flyovers before Bucs games came from?
