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.

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

โ€˜Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,โ€™ the dispatcher said. โ€˜I donโ€™t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.โ€™โ€

Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies โ€œthe rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp sawโ€”a medical saw, a bone sawโ€”and 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 aliveโ€”via brain deathโ€”or just-deadโ€”via 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 canโ€™t. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts asโ€”isโ€”a soldier.

In this paper, our scholarly collective traces how athleticideโ€”defined 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 historyโ€”has been part of the USโ€“NATO-funded Israeli stateโ€™s 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 โ€œgenocide,โ€ little scholarly attention has been paid to genocide in the disparate fields
that make up sports studies. Even less attention has been paid tโ€ฆ

No Israeli appearance in global sport can be understood outside the context of the athleticide it has committed in Gazaโ€”and 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.

Adrian Weckler: Why arenโ€™t we doing more to stop Grokโ€™s 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 Muskโ€™s AI engine that operates publicly on the social media platform, X.

Itโ€™s 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?

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump.
