Nacktmull, to news in Israel-Gaza war live: Israeli hostages mistakenly killed by IDF in Gaza were holding makeshift white flag, official says

Does the fact that they held a white flag not rule out a “mistake”?

socphoenix,

You know someone will state that a “common Hamas tactic” any minute now

socphoenix,

Well didn’t take long just found this in a different post…

Unaware7013,

Wow, I like the one guy farther down who claims Likud is awful but it's Hamas propaganda that the IDF kills kids.... like the massive dead civilian and kid numbers are just all propaganda to make a genocidal ethnistate look bad.

This is also in my city which during summer feels like an actual hellscape. It's a great idea overall but damn if it's the last city I'd pick for walking about 40% of the time.

grue,

The development’s buildings… are clustered together intimately to create inviting courtyards for social gatherings and paved – not asphalt – “paseos”, a word used in Spanish-speaking parts of the US south-west to denote plazas or walkways for strolling.

Importantly, such an arrangement provides relieving shade from the scorching sun – temperatures in these walkways have been measured at 90F (32C) on days when the pavement outside Culdesac is 120F (48C)

TL;DR: shade is a thing.

Redscare867,

Also plants will help cool and reduce humidity in an area. They also make a neighborhood feel more inviting.

anothercatgirl,

I thought plants always increase the humidity?

Kwakigra, to news in Israeli prime minister says “no intention of permanently occupying Gaza” – as it happened

I was expecting Isreal to brush off the ICJ charges in contempt and ignore the process entirely like the US always has and would help them to do as well. It’s interesting to see how their PR has shifted recently from " It’s not a genocide when we do it" to “We’re not doing what we’ve been saying we’ve been doing for many decades.”

Facebones, to fuck_cars in Ministers prioritised driving in England partly due to conspiracy theories

(US Here) Even my more progressive friends won’t go downtown because every business doesn’t have free dedicated parking. Street parking is free for the first hour and when I still drove I had lunch with no problems that way 1000 times, but nope unless where they’re going has it’s own dedicated parking lot, they aren’t going.

Kwakigra, to news in Afghan girls as young as 16 arrested in shops, classes and markets in Kabul by the Taliban, who labelled them ‘infidels’ for wearing ‘bad hijab’

The lesson we Westerners can learn from this and some action we can take right now is not to support the establishment and proliferation of far right-wing extremist religious organizations anymore. The action we should not take is to get involved with Afganistan’s affairs and make the problem worse than we’ve already made it.

fmstrat, to news in Greenland startup begins shipping glacier ice to cocktail bars in the UAE

I put this in the cross post, bit figure it belongs here, too:

While ridiculous, there’s interesting context here.

  • Greenland has little to no economy
  • The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already
  • Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste
  • The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland
  • He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

Lots of gray here.

The mafias that control Ecuador from inside their prison cells

Gangs are running profitable businesses inside the correctional facilities, and even have the keys to their own units. Recent rioting showed the extent of their power, posing a difficult challenge for the government of Daniel Noboa.

I always wonder what they were thinking as they chopped down the last tree on easter island.

I hate capitalism.

villasv, (edited ) to mensliberation in Why do hardly any straight men write about sex and dating? | Imogen West-Knights

What would I even be writing about without publicly exposing my personal life intimate details (don’t want to) or that hasn’t been said ad nauseam by better and more known writers at this point? What’s a sensible sex and dating column that doesn’t simply reduce into the usual “be empathetic, respect other’s space and boundaries, open dialog, know yourself, seek therapy, etc”?

They’re turning the plants gay with chemicals just like they did with the frogs. We’re in the endgame now.
