Funny you say that, because one thing that always irritates me is perfumes. It bothers me when someone has been through a building within the last hour or two wearing perfume. When I ride my bike, I am frequently struck by the synthetic smells coming off the pedestrians I pass. Busy areas are really offputting because of the mishmash of perfume smells. Yet still I can't conclusively pin a fart on a culprit.

Directional smell like rats have. It would bring a new era of undeniable fart responsibility. Also high frequency hearing so bats can no longer get away with talking shit about us.

"Don't tread on me" for these people only ever meant "We tread on you." It was never a statement of some noble value.

The push currently is to define trans advocacy as domestic terrorism, rather then to just outright define all trans people as terrorists.

How many trans people would not support trans rights? It's easy for them to claim any trans person is an advocate of trans rights and therefore a terrorist. There's no safety margin here.

I think the incel or 4channish school shooters would fit that description. They're almost all white cis boys though.

I thought it might be AI, but an image search found other photos in the same series so it seems to be real. There are 4 foxes.

A whiny conservative Christian student goes to the Trump people to rat on the professor for being inclusive, and the university fires the professor. This is life in the fascist USA.

Selectively, against politically inconvenient people, as with all "unenforceable" laws. It's just one more tool of oppression for the fascists.

For the right wing? It means "some".

Sucking up to the fascists in charge of the USA. It's about winning favor with the powerful by preemptively persecuting those they hate.

The family was presented with a document informing Armstrong that she had been suspended after the school got access to the privately shared message. The school alleges that Armstrong’s post was a “disparaging remark reflecting people at Tennessee Christian.” Referring to the message, the suspension document states, “The comment reflected on the institution, faculty, staff, alumni, and students in the most negative possible way.”

Not to reflect on them in a negative way, but it kinda sounds like they're a bunch of bible-bashing assholes.

Desperate state of health system means unnecessary amputations being done on kids as young as 1, surgeon says

Before the war started in Gaza, Moustafa Ahmed Shehda would run around and play with his friends. Now, the 12-year-old is one of a growing number of Palestinians in the territory who've lost a limb in a bombing.

Moustafa is from Jabalia in northern Gaza, which has been hit particularly hard in the fighting. Early on in the war between Israel and Hamas, he was visiting his uncle when the apartment building was bombed.

"I was under the rubble. I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't breathe," Moustafa told Mohamed El Saife, a freelance journalist in Gaza working for CBC News.

His uncle was killed, and Moustafa was pulled from the rubble. Because of the extent of his injuries, his right leg had to later be amputated below the knee.

"Before the war, I used to play with my friends," he said. "I can't play because of my injury. I can't play, and I don't have friends, and I don't have anything."

Palestinian health officials said on Saturday that 26,257 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Israel began bombing the small enclave of 2.3 million people in retaliation for the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas-led militants while nearly 65,000 have been wounded.
