Classified U.S. report finds backlog of hundreds of possible Israeli human rights violations The report found “hundreds” of possible Israeli human rights violations, further complicating a process to review credible allegations against IDF military units in Gaza.

"A classified report by a U.S. government watchdog has found that Israeli military units committed “many hundreds” of potential violations of U.S. human rights law in the Gaza Strip that would take the State Department “multiple years” to review." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

My honours thesis was on cinematic representations of the Devil: THE OMEN trilogy (Satan's army), THE PROPHECY (rebel angel), SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT (sympathetic figure contrasted with human evil), THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (prince of the earth), and NEEDFUL THINGS (tempter and deceiver).

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lawsuit Alleges 'Horrific And Inhumane' Conditions At Broadview ICE Facility The federal lawsuit says detained people are being denied water, food, medical care and hygiene: "They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that."

“They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that.”

interesting that people are treating his blue collar aesthetic as equivalent to having a blue collar upbringing

All a straight white man has to do is grow a beard and put on jeans and flannel, and voila: he has automatic Blue Collar Credibility, even if he actually grew up with a trust fund.

ONY white males get the Assumed Blue Collar nod simply by putting on an outfit, too. Doesn’t work for anyone else.

note that there is basically no such thing as a widely-accepted and culturally-revered American image of a blue collar *woman*

Just because the govt is shut down doesn't mean you can't call your legislators. And just because John Thune isn't your senator doesn't mean you can't call his office and ask his staff why they're supporting a man who is fine with torturing pregnant woman, and starving & killing children for no pay

Scare your boss this Halloween by talking to your coworkers (on your personal devices outside of company time, ideally on an encrypted app like Signal) about organizing your workplace 👻

there is no algorithm here so i'm relying on you to help spread the word by reposting and quoting this!

please help me continue to make games and pay my rent, RT, wishlist, and buy NEXT WEEK :))

Cuomo keeps embarrassing himself with AI slop ads.

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

i’m a thin-skinned libertarian cryptofascist who melts down at the slightest whiff of criticism from the user base of my website. time to add a ‘dislike post’ button and take a big sip of coffee,

Now ask yourselves, what has Border Patrol been doing down here in the borderlands, out in the mountains, deserts, and scrub, while nobody can record it?

They literally ruin everything they touch

much like francis ford coppola, i also cannot afford to own luxury watches

A scare actor jumps out at me from behind a fake tomb stone. I yawn. Get back to me when you're the embodiment of an evil regime, buddy.

tfw you are mourning your murdered spouse

So many people who posture themselves as staunch leftists/liberals/etc, publicly fight all day on social media with bigots, but keep a friend group of the Sinister Six because they fear actual conflict.

When your activism starts outward, you're only avoiding the most important fight.

In Britain, Cookie Monster should be called Biscuit Beast

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.

Guys, speaking as a fat man, she's only embracing his head because he's too CHONK for her little arms

the hand placement (everyone) omg

LOL

nothing says "mourning" like black, skin-tight leather pants

It is for this reason when someone tells me corporate capitalism produces an efficient economy I scoff. A rational organization would prioritize value added workers who allow the organization to function and exert downward resource pressure on non-value adders like the c-suite.
