Flames! Whoa dude!

You can only do so much slamming and ripping and dragging.

We need to start using football terminology for stuff he does.

Blitzed? Blocked? Snapped? Tackled? Kicked? Shutout? Spiked?

Meh. Would be cool if we could find one though.

Linkerbaan OP , in IDF uses Gazan civilians as human shields to inspect potentially booby-trapped tunnels
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Also some important lines from the article about the Biden administration lying that it’s not standard practice:

The Americans are furious, though Vedant Patel, a State Department spokesman, has said that the Israel Defense Forces is investigating the incidents and that the evidence in the videos does not reflect the IDF’s values and violates rules and regulations. “When I saw the report from Al Jazeera, I said: ‘Ah, yes, it’s true,’” a combat soldier in a conscript IDF brigade who took part in the use of Gazans as human shields told Haaretz. “And then I saw the IDF’s response, which totally doesn’t reflect reality. It’s done with the knowledge of the brigade commander, at the least.”

About five months ago, two Palestinians were brought to us. One was 20 and the other was 16. We were told: 'Use them, they’re Gazans, use them as human shields.

The soldier said that in the IDF, “they know that it’s not a one-time incident of a young and stupid company commander who decides on his own to take somebody.”

Chipotle was good years ago.

    It was tasty and a decent enough value through the mid-2010s.

    Since then, quality has plummeted, sizes halved, and prices doubled - so if it’s not extremely convenient, it’s far from worth it.

    Huh, look at that. Niccol took the reins in 2018, right at the time of the shift. Doesn’t matter, line goed up!

    I guess it’s still able to make money by coasting on brand recognition, but Bri-Bri is already long gone and won’t have to worry about the consequences.

    What little quality Starbucks has left is about to go the same way - but it’s got even more inertial

    The enshittifiation continues.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Taco Bell was the Mexican McDonald’s. Chipotle was never that much more authentic, but at least it raised the bar in relation. It is now a mere shell of what it once was.

    I guess you’ve never been to the Midwest.

    I dated a woman who referred to Taco Bell and Fazoli’s as Mexican and Italian, respectively.

    ccunning , in Arizona to vote on enshrining abortion rights in state constitution in November

    Will ballot initiatives like these have any notable effect on turnout in one direction or the other?

    I believe Florida also has a similar ballot initiative; I don’t know about any other states.

    randon31415 ,

    Here is the list

    The only one in doubt of making it on the ballot is in Arkansas where the secretary of state is pulling out all the stops to invalidate the payed canvassers signatures.

    Maggoty ,

    In Arizona it’s going to blow up the numbers. They had to fight to repeal an 1864 law and now it’s defaulted to a no exceptions 15 week law. So yeah, it’s a big deal in Arizona and likely to give the Democrats a boost in statewide offices. The state legislature is still hopelessly gerrymandered though.

    Kraven_the_Hunter , in Boaters in Florida find 56 pounds of barnacle-covered cocaine

    I didn’t think they could do one sequel to Cocaine Bear, much less two. But they did it, and in record time. Cocaine Shark wasn’t my jam but I’ll give it credit for doing a lot of world building. Cocaine Barnacle should have gone straight to video though.

    @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s ridiculous in the first place that this was allowed to be brought to Texas. Twitter is based in California; Media Matters is based in DC. Both organizations have fuck-all to do with the jurisdiction this case was brought before, except of course that Texas are in the chickendick minority of states who haven’t passed anti-SLAPP legislation yet and thus wouldn’t dismiss Musk’s case outright.

    Also, eat used gum off the toilet in a park bathroom, Musk; eating shit isn’t good enough for you.

    Edit: I was fairly mistaken about the anti-SLAPP thing; it’s still stupid, but definitely see below for clarification.

    Scholars_Mate ,

    Texas does have anti-SLAPP laws passed and they are among the strongest in the nation. Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that they cannot be used in federal courts.
