im not even the type of guy to go “actually it’s frankenstein’s MONSTER” because a painting by rembrandt or picasso or any other artist is often called “a rembrandt” or “a picasso” as shorthand. so in this respect frankenstein’s monster can be considered “a frankenstein”

darling I love your 8 foot tall patchwork flesh creature, it really livens up the place. is that an authentic frankenstein?

it’s only a true frankenstein if it was produced in the frankenstein region of switzerland. otherwise it’s just a sparkling homunculus

Israel accused of killing its own civilians under the ‘Hannibal Directive’ to avoid them being taken hostage

“Hannibal at Erez, dispatch a Zik [attack drone],” came the command on October 7.

Those words, reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz in July, confirm what many Israelis have feared since the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel.

Israeli forces have killed their own citizens.

[…]

In July, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed commanders in the IDF gave the order to fire on troops who had been captured by Hamas at three separate locations, explicitly referencing the Hannibal Directive.

One former Israeli officer, Air Force Colonel Nof Erez, told a Haaretz podcast the directive was not specifically ordered but was “apparently applied” by responding aircrews.

Panicked, operating without their normal command structure and unable to coordinate with ground forces, they fired on vehicles returning to Gaza, knowing they were likely carrying hostages.

“This was a mass Hannibal. It was tons and tons of openings in the fence, and thousands of people in every type of vehicle, some with hostages and some without,” Colonel Erez said.

Air force pilots described to Yedioth Ahronot newspaper the firing of “tremendous” amounts of ammunition on October 7 at people attempting to cross the border between Gaza and Israel.

“Twenty-eight fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm. We are talking about hundreds of 30-millimetre cannon mortars and Hellfire missiles,” reporter Yoav Zeitoun said.

[…]

Bergman’s investigation found 70 vehicles were destroyed by Israeli aircraft and tanks to prevent them being driven into Gaza, killing everyone inside.

“It is not clear at this point how many of the abductees were killed due to the activation of this [Hannibal] order on October 7,” he wrote.

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like “hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench” and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it’s extremely entertaining

and my parents are always like “oh my god why would you do that” bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

one of the more upsetting things you notice if you look back at older european weapons is that nobody fucking named any of the types of flail so you’ve gotta describe them by appearance every single time

me: this is so clearly a distinctive and recurring type of flail that would have to be used in an entirely different way than a normal flail. people fought with and against this hundreds of times. people died to this. they had to have a name for this. it CANNOT just be called a flail again

If radio wasn’t loaded with ads for the dumbest shit possible, I’d prefer radio to everything else.

I’m going to use this as a jumping off point to mention the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.

It’s… pretty much what it says on the tin. Some car manufacturers are phasing out AM Radio from their cars so they can replace them with their own streaming services - this bill seeks to make them a mandatory feature.

As somebody whose day job is in radio, I totally agree that the amount of ads and the quality of the ads is ridiculous. Personally, I don’t find radio to be an amazing source of political news broadcasting.

But do you know what it is really good at? Providing emergency broadcasts during extreme weather events.

When power and internet is down, radio can be one of the only sources of information, and it’s helped provide lifesaving information during these times.

(Plus, at least in my area of the country, emergency weather alerts override and interrupt programming when broadcast - even during pesky ads!)

So if you want to toss your signature in support, you can head on over here.

I want to make it clear I’m not an expert in this legislation or anything - this is just the stuff I know through working in the industry.

Supporting measures like this is super important. There’s a huge push in multiple industries right now to out lifesaving alerts behind a fucking paywall (see how the NWS got banned from making their own free app and how one weather app only pushed weather alerts to subscribers).

I worked in emergency management for a while and they will literally bring in people to set up makeshift radio stations in an ongoing emergency to get information out. They cannot do the same for internet when I was last in the loop on that.

Also if you don’t like the ads on radio - try non commercial radio. Public radio and college radio both have fewer ads in my experience. And often include sponsorship reads from places that are local to you.

This makes no sense

it literally could not be more straightforward

It literally doesnt make sence, both have the same value, they’re both $30

I think the failure of many people to grasp an incredibly simple, barebones metaphor is demonstrating implicit bias very well

This dude straight up stated the fucking answer and still can’t understand it, because he’s expecting the answer to be his own views lmao

No im not expecting anything its just a badly frammed metaphor

Bro you said the answer. Both have the same value despite different sizes. It’s simple. Basic. Elementary.

But it never says that, it just asks you wich one is greater and the text ends there, wich leads you to thinking that one indeed has greater value then the other, and that the one with the greater value is the answear

It asks you which one has the greater value and what is the answer to that question?

Im not about to argue over a focken tit size metaphor

Shout out to this one woman from Blair Witch Project.

While carrying a child. Unsung MVP of horror

Me trying to book an appointment with my GP: hey my depression has been getting worse over the last month and its at the point where its interfering with my ability to manage my day-to-day life, I need to discuss medication with my GP asap.

The secretary: well I see that you have an appointment booked with her for a completely unrelated reason a month from now, you should just wait until then and discuss it with her at that appointment.

Me: thanks, yeah, I’ll do that, it’s not like I need to be a functional person at any point for the next month. Also unmedicated depression that is actively getting worse is never really all that dangerous to the patient so it’s okay to just leave them hanging for a full month with no support. I love my country’s healthcare system.

I am able to pressure them for an appointment sooner and I am actively doing that but the fact that I need to is absolute ass.
