In the eyes of hasbara we are all Hamas on this blessed day.

It kind of is two cats in one for real, the two sides have different dna!

This news isn’t as good as it first appears unfortunately:

State attorney Aner Helman told the court that 700 inmates had been moved to Ofer military facility in the occupied West Bank, with another 500 set to be transferred in the weeks to come. Around 200 detainees will remain in Sde Teiman, said Helman

So, they’re not even shutting down their Abu Ghraib in Sde Teiman, but they’re moving the bulk of it to a detention camp called Ofer. Except:

Last week, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the military launched a probe into the allegations of mistreatment at Sde Teiman, as well as at Anatot and Ofer

In other words Ofer’s already a shit show of human rights abuses as well. They’re just shuffling people around their various camps.

Dean, a Londoner who moved to the kibbutz eight years ago

So, he’s a British guy who chose to move from England to an Israeli collective that is literally located on top of a displaced Palestinian village, right up against an actively disputed border and now he’s complaining about it?

This article reads like it was probably put together to generate support for more IDF attacks on Lebanon.

Self control isn’t always about not doing tempting things.

A key element of self control is knowing enough about yourself as an organism, to be able to limit your exposure to those things so you can put your energy into getting on with your life.

Those who don’t do that are way more likely to break. It’s like the Derren Brown kitten-killing experiment.

In that sense there’s nothing wrong about recognizing a platform is tempting and avoiding it. There’s also nothing wrong with memeing about that.

Me too, on the design, what I like about it is it wasn’t the ultra clean look futurism of the 1980s it was sort of collided with grunge.

Y2K. Let me just run this chromium look filter on my pillow embossing.

Everything will have extra fingers.

Seriously tho I think there will be a flight to intricacy.

Does nothing to dispell the impression that their readership is collectively unzipping.

Sure, explain to me!

My guess is that it could be some kind of opportunistic rise of theocratic fascism that has been empowered by the weakening of the social order and social institutions by the clash of disaster capitalism with the old establishment?

It’s very disconcerting.

It’s basically a bog with freshwater coming in through the bottom.

There are some in Massachusets, Colorado, Estonia, and this region of the UK called the Fens.

I find this definition a lot more compelling than the one in the meme.

In other words it’s more to do with geology and how the wetland has formed from groundwater vs water flow, than it is to do with characteristics like ph and trees - those things sort of proceed from the basic structure.

Good to know, will keep a watch for it.

I really want to use it but always end up closing it in frustration and firing up photoshop.

I’ll wait for him forever, like Madama Butterfly.

But yeah this outage might be a long one unless it’s a server issue and someone over there notices.

It’s a mistake to write them off as unable to achieve their political goals through force. That’s not something I’d want to test.

I was interpreting that as the cat can somehow see the caption and is offended.

Genetic mutation. If you want to see something even cooler, image search feline chimera.

This. Medically speaking it probably still counts though.

Wtf is going on over there? This sounds like Westboro Baptists have gone mainstream.

When I first read The Handmaid’s Tale in the 1990s it read like an interesting thought experiment, not a prophecy.

Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!

+ Normalize and incentivize attempting to replicate existing findings!

With these two recommendations we’d speed up discovery exponentially.
