Let’s stop calling them super. “The grotesquely wealthy” is more accurate.

Agreed! I plan on using “the grotesquely wealthy” from now on, it conveys my visceral opinion of them.

Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they’re in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.

I’m not saying it was any actual kid, that’s just the only reason I could imagine being possibly justified.

The only situation I could imagine in which this decision could possibly be justified is if a small child got hold of a gun (because Texas) and shot her in play, and they’re trying not to ruin the kid’s life.

Their executives have been given military titles of Lieutenant Colonel already! Without any military training or fitness test.

Yes, although the mass disposal of bodies in a septic system under the building was discovered in 2017 so it’s been known for awhile. The new part is that they’re finally being dug up, identified by DNA and/or matched with the death records if possible, and will be properly buried.

Refreshingly factual

How are they supposed to play soccer when FIFA has no balls?

Makes more sense than corporations

I’ll just add one thing I learned today: in conservative Mennonite communities in the Ontario area, schooling beyond grade 7 is discouraged.

I would argue the negligence was committed by the person who left the insular community (which had some protection by virtue of avoiding exposure, even though it also perpetuated an antivaccine and anti doctor mindset) and brought home the measles. It’s also very much a young-women-do-as-they-are-told society so the mother’s level of agency over her own health and that of her fetus is questionable. You go ahead and blame her, but I’d like more evidence she was willfully neglectful.

EDIT TO ADD:

“While measles may have been a contributing factor in both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus,” he added.

Since we read they’re trying to get the word out to the community in their language, it’s very possible she wasn’t aware she needed the vaccine, especially since obviously her parents didn’t get her vaccinated as a child. If she wasn’t planning to get pregnant she wouldn’t have been told “you need to get the MMR at least a month before you start trying.” And she’s probably not the person who went to New Brunswick and exposed her insular community, but instead could well have become pregnant at about the time the first cases were diagnosed in her community. Then with the virulence of measles it would have been very difficult to remain sufficiently isolated to completely avoid exposure. We also don’t know her age. And we don’t know how sick she got, but possibly it precipitated the premature labor.

“MMR vaccine should not be given during pregnancy and you shouldn’t try to become pregnant within a month after vaccination.”

So depending on the timing of the exposure and whether the pregnancy was planned, and whether she was aware she wasn’t vaccinated and that it’s okay under Mennonite rules, there’s a few scenarios where she’s more victim than villain

Okay, “swarming herds of antelopes” would satisfy me. Or “plague of a million antelopes.”

Maybe it’s just me, I feel like swarming is something you do with lots of legs and maybe some wings. And the ickiness of small bodies moving in waves, chittering and buzzing.

Thundering hooves and sharp horns feels like a wholly different terror.

But as used in the headline, “…antelope swarm destroys…” the verb is “destroys,” not “swarm.”

Surely antelopes roam in herds, not swarms? They’re not bees.

She’s frantically busy saving/trying to save lives as a doctor in the same hospital, one of very few still running.

Iirc, it’s the same hospital his mom, who is also a doctor, works at. So they have each other at least.

I got that, you started your comments in direct reference to OP’s post. I just figured, since people replied to you with comments about the Guardian (which has since revised their headline 3 times btw) you might want to know where that was coming from.

The BBC headline right now is even worse: “Israel denies firing at civilians after Hamas-run ministry says 31 killed in Gaza aide centre attack.” I’m typing it out myself because it keeps changing every update.
