Israel's got itself into a strategically disastrous state: they're fighting an aimless war in Gaza, have zero idea of what will happen once it stops, the foundational myth of Israeli invincibility is shattered, the country is split at every level, the economy's cratered, they've alienated their most vital ally and it's now the most loathed and despised country in the world.

As a paranoid settler-colonial state, Israel was always going to react to October 7th with hysterical over the top violence - security through total military superiority is central to Israeli identity - a reaction that may quite possibly have doomed them.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I have to admit that, having encountered some of her cartoons randomly in the past, I'ce occasionally found Edith Pritchett's stuff to be charming and amusing. But learning that she works for the Guardian and is thus almost certainly a nepo baby getting paid to pump out mediocre cartoons just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Any lawyer would tell you to do what she’s doing. The alternative is thinking you are smarter than them and doing an SBF.

I very much disagree that Israel is the most loathed country in the world when Russia exists. As OTT as Israel's response has been, they are at least responding to something. Russia is engaging in a war of naked unprovoked aggression and has indicated that they are willing to be equally genocidal if required.

Israel probably is the most loathed country in the world and most of it, sadly, has probably nothing to do with gaza and everything to do with it being full of perfidious jews, because half the world is still racist as poo poo

Actually, we're both wrong:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-hated-country

This no doubt very scientific survey states that CHINA is the world's most hated country, with the US being no. 2 and Russia a 3rd place runner up. Israel is at no. 5 and Britain is a disappointing no.11.

Also, I'm not sure if there's much to be gained from debating which genocide is worse than the other. Both are equally horrific in equally unique ways, and both situations have a completely different history and context.

the red book and the booklet thing they give to pregnant women are a couple of the most important developments in women’s and children’s health, sure you can forget it when you go to your appointment but even if you go on holiday to spain or the lakes, the data is physically all there forever and won’t poo poo itself because their EPR doesn’t have a á in the software

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
We still deal with handwritten prescriptions all the time. There's a doctor at the local CAMHS service who has godawful handwriting such that I can't tell 2s from 3s reliably and have to call them about once a month. Just write in loving block capitals, my handwriting sucks and that's what I do if I need people to read it, God
