The crack of the bat. The smell of the grass. The roar of the crowd. You’ve just been viciously attacked by the serial killer they call Baseball Steve

As well as famine, Gaza is experiencing a "complex environmental disaster," in the words of Amjad Shawa of the Palestinian NGO Network. The soil is toxic from munitions and coastal water is black with sewage. Nearly all the trees are gone now. The effects will linger for generations [gift link]

The bombardment of Gaza has left a toxic legacy of contaminated soil, blackened water and disease-spreading garbage that will last generations.

measles requires 95% immunity (infection or 2x vaccine doses) for herd immunity to work, 80-85% is worrisome in BC: "Just under 82 per cent of two-year-olds have gotten one dose of the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine, and around 72 per cent of seven-year-olds have gotten both doses"
Measles is one of the most infectious diseases on Earth. An infected person can walk through a room and up to two hours later a healthy person can walk through the same room and get sick, just by breathing the lingering air.

The disease can cause brain swelling, leading to seizures, deafness or brain damage, and kills about one in every 3,000 people, according to HealthLinkBC. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gives a grimmer estimate, reporting that one in four cases of measles requires hospitalization and one in 1,000 cases results in death.

Unvaccinated people who survive a measles infection are at a radically higher risk of dying from another illness in the years after the infection. Measles can wipe out 11 to 73 per cent of an unvaccinated person’s antibodies, meaning their immune system forgets how to fight off pathogens it previously defeated.

In the 6th century, a sailor threw a bottle at a whale off the coast of Constantinople. In response,the whale spent the next 50 years sinking so many ships off the Byzantine coast it was named Porphyrios after the giant who attacked Olympus & the Emperor unsuccessfully dedicated his reign against it

Ben Franklin predicted a guy’s death to make fun of him for believing in astrology, falsely recorded the guy’s death on that date, and when the guy insisted he wasn’t dead, kept writing articles like “some sick fuck is trying to steal a dead guy’s identity”

I'm bowled over by the beautiful response to Lujayn's piece. There's a ton of attention on the amazing student movement right now. Let this piece be a reminder of what that movement is about: ensuring that people in Gaza like Lujayn can live in peace and freedom.

Wobbly memes rule.
A diagram of the trolley problem titled IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) Presents: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

The illustration shows a trolley on a forking track. On one line five people are tied to the track, on the side track one person is tied to the track. The trolley has passed halfway across the tracks point of intersection. Off to the side a person manning a switch lever gives the viewer a thumbs up.

Text beside an arrow pointing at the track intersection reads: "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt. Thank a rail worker today!
