Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNN
  • 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.

  • Israelis use gardening tools to fight wildfires caused by rockets
  • 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.

  • 'More in common with the Taliban': Outrage erupts over state GOP's anti-Pride vitriol
  • 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.

  • Know the difference!!!
  • 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.

    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.

  • Academic Olympics
  • Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!

    + Normalize and incentivize attempting to replicate existing findings!

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

  • Do I have schizophrenia or I am scammed by psychiatrist?
  • What country are you in and how well-regulated are psychiatrists there?

    Have they told you what the medicines are? With psych meds sometimes they have to build up in your system and it can take a few weeks. But one-off injections sound a bit odd.

    You should be able to look up the treatments on drugs.com or wikipedia.
