www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I can't really describe how evil and cruel this is. I can't really describe how this is one of the most awful policies I've ever heard, and how much it will hurt people. I don't even really have the words.

New guidance says trans patients should be cared for on single-sex hospital wards or bays that align with their biological sex.

Counterpoint: You know, as does everyone else perpetuating this murderous farce, you just don’t want to say it aloud, because as with the others, it would offend your carefully constructed image of Israel, its military and, indeed, yourself, and even now, that is worth more to you than their lives.

Sound it out

In Gaza, the amount of approved NAZA depended on the seniority of the target, reaching hundreds of innocent civilians, according to the interviewees. Even if 20 NAZA, which became a benchmark, was applied to each of Israel's tens of thousands of targets, "you end up with all of Gaza", one of the soldiers concedes. "I just don't know what to do with this understanding," he adds, confronted with the reality of what
"accomplishing the task" actually implies after having disciplined his imagination not to dwell on this reality.

When Nancy Kissinger died last month, her obits glancingly mentioned a strange 1982 incident where she went on trial for choking out a Lyndon LaRouche supporter. I'd already been piecing the story together, and the results are in today's @flaminghydra.com newsletter:

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

BROOKE GLADSTONE:
The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter -
PAUL McMULLAN:
Oh, yeah -
BROOKE GLADSTONE:
- which is one case that you truly do regret.
PAUL McMULLAN:
I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station.
Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE:
And you offered her 50 pounds -
PAUL MCMULLAN:
Yeah.
BROOKE GLADSTONE:
- if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for.
PAUL McMULLAN:
No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE:
So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless?
PAUL McMULLAN:
I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I?
BROOKE GLADSTONE:
This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself.
PAUL McMULLAN:
Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Is “scholar” what we call someone who would suggest such a thing? Is “work” the best word to describe what they produce? Might these details suggest a different overall framing of what happened?

“It was written by a scholar known for work suggesting that Black people were genetically predisposed to be less intelligent than white people.”
