re: #126 ckkatz
The Saudi al-Hadath channel reports that the attack tonight in Isfahan province, Iran, was an operation by the US and another country other than Israel, and it was aimed at an Iranian ballistic missile depot
So a Saudi news channel says it was a joint operation between the US and “another country other than Israel”.
Gosh, some totally trust inspiring reporting there.

re: #158 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Directly not many, Fukushima lists 573
I have never seen a source with such high numbers. Where do you get that?
Chernobyl was estimated to have cost $20 billion and Fukushima around $80 billion. If nuclear plants had to insure themselves for those amounts, their rates would most likely make nuclear energy prohibitively expensive.
The US lost 165.1 billion USD in probably GW related climate disasters in 2022. Who has insurance to pay for that.
re: #7 Charles Johnson
Mr “Russia if you’re listening” made clear from early in his campaign his fondness for Russia. He and his cult try to pretend that he was not a Russian troll but his allegiance was unambiguous. It’s those who claim otherwise who need to provide hard evidence to justify their position.

The Chernobyl and Fukushima body counts (and mutations) are happening in slow motion. It will be generations before we know.
Yeah, it’s a good thing nobody ever decided to explode hundreds of nuclear weapons in the open atmosphere, if they did New Los Vegas would be full of mutants.

I do not fearmonger, my objections to it are 90% economic. But I nonetheless see it as an acceptable stopgap until our technology advances enough that we can dispense with it for good.
Yes, but your economics is bollocks.
You complain that nuclear doesn’t have the insurance to cover the approx one hundred billion loss from Tchernobyl and Fukushima but don’t wonder how fossils can pay for the one hundred and sixty five billion loss for one country in one year.
re: #15 John Hughes
Yes, but your economics is bollocks.

Acksherly the US nuclear power companies do pay for insurance. It’s a good deal for the insurers, it’s very low risk of a payout ever being necessary so the premiums are quite low. Ignorant people repeat the lie that nuclear power is uninsurable and rarely get called on it. Insurance is paying for remediation of the Three Mile Island accident, for example.
There is an upper limit on payouts, I think it’s about 20 billion dollars per incident, after that the government is on the hook. That’s a pittance compared to, for example, the federal bailout of the American north-east after Hurricane Harvey when the insurance companies ran out of money and stopped paying legitimate storm and flooding claims.

More about the offended French:
AP apologises and deletes widely mocked tweet about ‘the French’
Organisation clarifies initial advice, which included term in list of phrases it thought could be dehumanising. The Associated Press Stylebook, considered one of the most reliable guides to correct use of the English language for journalists, has apologised after producing a list of terms it thought could be dehumanising that included “the French”.
The organisation tweeted advice not to use generic labels for groups of people who share a single common trait, giving as examples the poor, the mentally ill and the college-educated. It also included grouping together everyone from the European nation under the same banner.
“We did not intend to offend. Writing French people, French citizens, etc., is good. But ‘the’ terms for any people can sound dehumanizing and imply a monolith rather than diverse individuals,” the organisation said on its AP Stylebook Twitter account.

Fictionalized origin story of Spotify’s further exploitation of songwriters and recording artists.
Having spent a decade some years ago in executive offiices of a record company, the irony of the recording artists portrayed (and in real life) appearing to prefer the accounting practices of pre-internet recording industry was not lost on me. And the record companies don’t get a pass either.
Good watch, does some interesting cinematic shortcuts to advance the plot, with characters breaking the 4th wall from time to time.
Some reviewers hated the last episode, but I thought the last scene was the perfect peek behind the origin story curtain.
Good acting, good production, really well done.

Inside a US Neo-Nazi Homeschool Network With Thousands of Members
A Ohio couple has been unmasked as leaders of the neo-Nazi “Dissident Homeschool” Telegram channel that distributes lesson plans to 2,400 members.
Earlier this month, while the rest of the country was celebrating the achievements of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., parents and children in the “Dissident Homeschool” network opened a lesson plan and were greeted with the words: “As Adolf Hitler wrote…”
The contents of the MLK lesson plan would be shocking for almost anyone, but for members of the 2,400-member “Dissident Homeschool” Telegram channel, this was a regular Monday at school.

She was especially known for her roles in 24, Bosch, and Timeless. In the 2013 video game release of The Last of Us, she played the role of Tess. That role is played by Anna Torv in the show, but she will always be remembered as one of the alum. Diagnosed with cancer in 2020, she acted through it with roles as the very impressive Rosalind Dyer in The Rookie and Borg Queen in Star Trek: Picard.

I think where any reform would need to start is ending city and state payment of lawsuits brought against the police. Supply them with adequate counsel, but the department and officers are on the hook for payments.
re: #58 Patricia Kayden

For reform to work, it has to be clear that the old ways are no longer tolerated and things have to change. And that’s not going to start happening until there are actual consequences to sticking to the old ways that rise higher than paid vacations and black marks on records that don’t become public until another innocent person is dead.

The response to which is usually a word salad that amounts to a verbal shrug, because they don’t run on plans, they run on campaign slogans. If inflation goes down, they take credit with BS like “confidence in the market” or “free market fundamentals.” If inflation goes up, they blame Biden and bitch about how he’s “undermined confidence” or passed “job-killing regulations/laws.”

When I look at stuff like “Killology”—the course that trains cops to fire first without hesitations or regret, and think of themselves as “sheepdogs guarding sheep”—I think the thing that should have caused more alarm is how explicit cop training is that…cops are a high-status caste with unique entitlements because they enforce law on their inferiors. They’re not there to help people, they’re there to keep society functioning as normal, which means punishing the lesser and the weird.
In which case, that they use these quasi-military aggression against soft targets, but don’t use the same tactics when it truly would involve running into guns, makes sense.

tbh Twitter has pretty much ruined that whole “cute name for posting” thing for me. We got Nazis “tweeting.” How about we stop giving it a cute name? It’s a fucken post.

“The police are the public and the public are the police.”
— Sir Robert Peel.
Peelian principles existed alongside militarized colonialist policing, and I’d argue that the latter explains more about modern cops than the former.
Consider how often societies have whole categories of people to whom they assign stigma and otherness, and are thus not “the public” and thus are policed differently? If you’re a subject from the imperial periphery, you’re not the public; if you’ve been stuffed into a demimonde, you’re not the public…you’re a social hazard to the public, a lesser kind of person that needs to be disciplined, and watched, and controlled.
The reactionary argument for modern policing is nakedly that most people do not count as “real” people, and thus should be handled with the aggression and callousness they receive. The same people become incandescently angry when they experience inconvenience at the hands of LEOs.
Hence why I keep talking about these issues as a function of caste; different outcomes for different kinds of people, presented as the correct and virtuous order of society.
re: #132 Colère Tueur de Lapin
The idea that they think physicians are the only ones who should be allowed to use the title Dr. speaks to their lack of understanding/education. MDs stole the title from Ph.Ds.
In the UK senior medical practitioners at the consultant or registrar level are specifically NOT addressed as “Doctor” by their peers because it is considered a step down given their level of expertise. A top surgeon will be addressed by the OT staff as Mister Grimes or Miss Harcourt — women sometimes retain their maiden name for medical work even if they have generally taken their husband’s name after marriage. In some rare cases the practitioner’s name will be preceded by “Sir” or “Dame”.

So, I keep predicting that the Eagles are going to have tough battles in their playoff games, and they keep stomping their opponents into the turf.
This is why I don’t do sports betting.
I just texted my brother in South Philly if the looting has started yet. Apparently they’re climbing the street poles in Center City, grease be damned.
Two Super Bowl appearances in five years. That’s like the stuff of legend in these parts.

re: #133 William Lewis
The police are the enemy of the people in America. They work at the behest and protection of the 1%. If they deign help you, it’s simply a pretense of noblesse oblige. It would be nice if we had Peel’s coppers but guns guns & more guns is the American way.
For sure. Execs at my wall street firm had literal get out of jail free cards given to them by cops; same deal that applies to cop friends and family.

There is really no such thing as free speech in real life…. Unless you are out by yourself in the forest talking to rocks and trees.

There are, occasionally, lists of addresses for people to follow for whatever interests you might have. Google probably has a few remembered for you. Once you generate some follows your home tab should pick up some.

re: #141 The Ghost of a Flea
Peelian principles existed alongside militarized colonialist policing, and I’d argue that the latter explains more about modern cops than the former.
Before helping set up the Met and formulating at least the beginnings of the peelian principles Peel had been involved in the creation of the Royal Irish Constabulary, the ancestor of all British colonial police forces.
Maybe his experience with that informed the explicitly civilian nature of the Met (or maybe he was a racist who thought true Englishmen needed something different than mere colonials).
