The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies โthe rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp sawโa medical saw, a bone sawโand the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.โ Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either aliveโvia brain deathโor just-deadโvia circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisonersโ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier canโt. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts asโisโa soldier.
"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts asโisโa soldier."

In this paper, our scholarly collective traces how athleticideโdefined here as the obliteration of sport, sporting cultures, and
athletics through the killing, arrest, detention, or disabling of athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and administrators and the
destruction of athletic infrastructure and historyโhas been part of the USโNATO-funded Israeli stateโs genocide of Palestinians
in Gaza since October 2023. Although much of the literature focuses on the philosophical, ethical, and political foundations of
events that are conventionally described as โgenocide,โ little scholarly attention has been paid to genocide in the disparate fields
that make up sports studies. Even less attention has been paid tโฆ
No Israeli appearance in global sport can be understood outside the context of the athleticide it has committed in Gazaโand not been held accountable for.

The upside of child sacrifice
Those Moloch worshipers were pikers. Back in those days, I imagine the ancients brought a child or two to the altar to be knifed in early spring, in order...
Between Musk's porn generator, Zuckerberg's trauma machine, and the suicide-encouraging bots that Google invested in - Big Tech is finding that child sacrifice is very, very profitable.
I feel especially strongly about this one. New from me:

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

There are two sides to this issue. One one side, law-abiding US citizens who are getting murdered extrajudicially by the Federal Government. On the other side are the Federal Government agents who are murdering them. Who is right? Both are right. Everything is the same. Thanks for watching CBS news.

Adrian Weckler: Why arenโt we doing more to stop Grokโs virtual pornification?
As you read this, thousands of images of women and girls โ maybe people you know โ are being virtually undressed by Grok, Elon Muskโs AI engine that operates publicly on the social media platform, X.
Itโs clear that what Grok and X have done goes against a multitude of EU and Irish regulations and maybe even criminal law, as reported in recent days, writes Adrian Weckler. But do we, as a political and civic society, have the courage to follow through on enforcing that law?
