Israel has never been on the list, while a Saudi-led military coalition was removed from the list in 2020 several years after it was first named for killing and injuring children in Yemen.
The report found that Israeli forces killed 42 children and injured 933 children in 2022. Israel is not the offenders list.
Hold parties responsible, but don’t pick and choose.
The article describes Dina Boluarte as Peru's "unelected president" — but a different description would be that she was vice-president at the time that president Pedro Castillo attempted a self-coup to elevate himself from president to dictator, failed, and was then impeached & removed by Congress.
As a US citizen, I have to wonder if there's an analogy there with Mike Pence, who was VP to president Donald Trump but did not cooperate in Trump's attempted self-coup on January 6 2021. Pence's non-cooperation arguably saved the US from a Trump dictatorship.
Peruvians, or other folks who know more about Peruvian politics — is that an entirely terrible analogy?
The situation is pretty complex. I don’t have my finger on it entirely, but I get the feeling he was going to be forced out whether he self-couped or not. They seemed to be looking to remove him from the get go and were obstructionist
Can‘t believe all the waste of resources to look at some trash on the ocean floor, die, search the whole place, then find some more trash on the ocean floor. Climate is doomed.
Only good headline I read today is the orcas now attack boats, at least they try to fight before going extinct, admirable effort.
There is a certain amount of empathy I want to have about the situation. Because at the end of the day, someone lost a loved one.
But there is also a bit of poetic justice when someone visits the wreck of a ship that played a large role in making sure ships were safer in case of catastrophic failure.
Only to ignore those procedures and end up right next to it.
FFS can't they let people live in peace? Did it occur to them that if the answer to "Do my actions make the world a kinder place?" is "no - the opposite" they might need to stop?
Anyone who doesn't think Israel is willingly and consciously committing genocide is living under a rock. This has been their standard operating procedure since at least the 70s. The strategy is to boil the frog just slowly enough to avoid international outrage, and continue to get western aid. But not too quickly as to enrage other Middle Eastern powers.
I was messing around with this like sub warfare simulator game a while back and I blew up a whale with a torpedo because it showed up on my sonobuoy network as an unidentified contact 😅
Similar things have happened in other underwater rescue situations and it almost always turns out to be equipment involved in the search. The sonar bouys dropped by the planes are extremely sensitive pieces of equipment.
If I had to guess, every 30 minutes or so a boat running a grid search pattern would get close enough to one of the bouys that it was able to pick up sounds from the boat. As the grid pattern took the boat further away from the bouy it wasn't able to continue to pick up the noise, and the "knocking" stopped after about 4 hours and wasn't heard again until a few days later. Then the search pattern changed, and boats started getting close to the bouys again.
It was a fish knocking on the window and saying, 'here, billy, billy, billy, billionaire'.
It was intermittent because an orca kept swimming past and saying, 'don't do that, it's bad for them, but if you like the sound of that you're better off knocking on the bottom of the big ones up top'.
Question... why wasn't this an unmanned, remotely controlled submarine with a front-mounted camera? If it had been destroyed, that would have been a lot of money up in smoke, but no lives lost.
I can't be the only idiot who didn't realize the Titanic went down that close to Maine/Newfoundland. I'm 38 years old and never once even thought about where they actually sank.
As unfortunate as it is, migrant boats wrecking is common enough that it's not really "newsworthy" in terms of what grabs people's attention. Especially on a global scale. Similar to how a murder in somewhere like Maine would make the news, but in NYC it's just another day.
Well, perhaps other billionaires will see how these folks have been treated, and decide that they'd rather be remembered for doing something great for society, rather than pursuing individual/deadly hobbies.
definitely not agreeing with Yinchie as i think more humans = more innovation = less climate change, but i think it's important to remember that corporations serve the people generally... the reason these corporations exist is because of market demand from people, individual human people
I'm fascinated at how much more we (at least the public) are discovering of the effects of climate change. Basic level was: hotter years, and then we discover new mechanics that comes with this change
