Yeah i agree - states are institutions dedicated to violence. Whether or not they did some arcane legal rituals before murdering iranians and americans is hardly the point.

But i do think it matters to show that the state is lying when it claims to use violence legitimately. It doesn’t even adher to its own made up rules.

And it matters that their violence is so unpopular that they can’t even let a body as unrepresentative as the US congress get a say.

The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

“This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

“It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” … According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

1 in 10 is a lot!

Exactly. These comments are not directed at the sane, it’s so their supporters don’t have to admit that trump loses most of the time.

How much of our air defensive stockpile do you think our russia backed regime can expend protecting the wealth of the royal house of saud?

No good outcome is possible from two brutal murdeous authoritarian regimes attacking a third.

There was a solid, enforcable, internationally recognized deal that all credible experts agree was working and keeping iran’s nuclear industry civilian. Whatever happened to that?

several incidents of this kind have been reported, including two in 2022. In one case, a speedboat coming from the United States fired on Cuban Border Guard forces near Villa Clara, injuring a Cuban officer.

The other incident took place in Bahía Honda, in western Cuba, when a vessel also coming from the United States collided with an Interior Ministry patrol boat, causing the U.S. craft to sink and killing several of its occupants.

Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as “territorial violations and human trafficking.”

But I don’t do anything unless prompted by a human.

Most social mammals mirror the behaviour of high status individuals.

That’s why i think celebrity endorsements should be illegal, it’s basically abusing an exploit, a known flaw in how our brains work that routinely leads to sub-optimal decision making.

I don’t think any hominin of floresiensis-like size emerged from Africa. Just floresiensis on Flores and luzonensis on nearish Luzon. They’re probably descended from erectus that shrank “on site” so to speak.

They are some aboriginal australian stories about two other kinds of people - tall thin good ones and short stocky bad ones. I’ve wondered if that’s describing neanderthal, denisovan or some other close but extinct branches of homo.

There’s some evidence that mitchondria might be the reason life needs sleep. They can kill their cell and communicate with other mitochondria.

ATP production is super important, but they do a lot more than just creating that usable ‘currency’ of energy that inspired the ‘powerhouse’ idea.

Also, a certain amount of high school level medical knowledge is wrong and we don’t know it yet.

Mitochondria are probably way more complex and important than current textbook descriptions, gut biome and skin biome probably influence way more, etc.

It sounds like you’re giving too much credence to what mysogynists and incels say on the internet.

Are you sure? The users post history goes back 2 months and doesn’t show any.

Literally word for word my first thought.

The Beached Whales

I would hope the logo is a whale relaxing on a towel under an umbrella.

That’s a good team name.

The Princess Pirates - logo includes eyepatch, fake looking stubble, tiahra over a pirate hat over perm curls.

The Home Runs - logo is a house with a face and limbs holding its butt like it’s running to the bathroom.

The Swing Batter-Batters - logo is a swing in motion ridden by a bat (mammal or baseball).

Mmmm Cake - logo is cake. Kids love cake.

The Stinky Parents - logo is parents, characteur common outfits/styles for your area. Maybe clown makeup. Definitely stink lines.

Nationalize it. Take his company, his wealth and jail him for his crimes.

Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
