NPR is pretty great for left leaning media.

I’m hardcore socialist, but I have some libertarian friends that just want to smoke weed, they have more in common with anarchists than Republicans.

I deeply hope that’s not a core tenant of libertarianism, how abhorrent.

I’m as tankie as they come but I love shitting on Russia. Call it CIA brainwashing, its my absolute pleasure.

A core tenant of socialism is a democratized workplace, being able to vote for your wage and company policy, like an Engineer choosing when to launch the rocket instead of some MBS degree.

Last time I checked I dont think factory workers in China that make all our shit can do that.

Nope its definitely accurate!

Indycar does not have a constructors championship, and the format encourages each car to operate as its own team, and since all the teams (except McLaren) are owned by one random guy, that encourages them to make each car they field to have more sponsors. And the brand appeal of like, one guy, isn’t as powerful as something like McLaren, a famous car company with the color Orange.

Anyone heard of Penske? RLL? Meyer Shank? Dale Coyn? No. Aside from Penske, those other names are only big names within Indycars history, just like Hendricks is only big inside Nascar history.

IndyCar is pretty popular, but because of the company split in the 90s, there was no one to compete with Nascar throughout the 90s and 00s in terms of US popularity. So essentially the entire series is really behind and hasnt built up financial appeal to sponsors.

Thus, in order to keep staying in business, the teams sell ad space on the cars anytime they can, leading to teams running special liveries for one race, a driver bringing a big sponsor so the team changes the car to accomodate, and all the cars look different.

Different enough to warrant a spotters guide for a few races.

IndyCar could change that by enforcing a team liverie, but I bet the teams wouldn’t like that.

For an average race, the teams don’t really do team orders. It’s VERY rare. And teams usually allow their own drivers to fight hard all the time. Since teams as a whole don’t affect the race, you don’t focus on that much.

Team owners only care if one of their drivers causes another to crash, and they don’t care who wins because each driver they field is another chance at a win.

I don’t know if you’re referring to Gaza or Israel on October 7th, but here’s a press conference about the burned bodies.

You understand what you’re saying right.

This was a big media press conference, and the presenter. The presenter, was Dr. Chen Kugel. This was a slide on his own presentation. Do you understand?

Boom:

Video of the actual press conference.

Please relent, it’s giving me a headache.

He does address all the scans, the metal wire in the photo, right there, direct quotes from him too I should have led with this. Around minute 6 is when the images posted come up.

Please watch the video, please please I feel like I’m going insane. I should have led with it but I didn’t know there was video of the whole press conference.

Well look.

If this were any other country in Europe or the US, no one would be questioning the doctors, the first responders, and news outlets who report their claims. Because ultimately, that’s what’s going on here.

If you acknowledge that this is an unconventional response to such overwhelming proof, I will reserve my pure bewilderment.

And if you’re still questioning the Metal wire, yes, it’s in the Media Line report. Check the scanned image. It’s literally right there, bottom right of the scan you can see the metal loop, and follow it around the bodies.

Do you want the Telegram archive? I have access to 2. One that shows live killings, as corroborated by the BBC, NYT, who were shown the same footage at a screening in Israel, and one that shows images and CCTV uploaded by first responders.

Actually, it’s not embellished at all, in fact, if you’ve seen the archives, most reports under-sell the atrocities. You have to wonder why both The Media Line and The Guardian were at the same press conference, yet The Media Line chose to show the picture with the metal wire.

It’s because The Media Line clearly has an agenda to garner an emotional response from its audience?

That can certainly be true.

Another point of view is that sources like The Guardian are irresponsible for not showing the images when many people are accusing Israel of embellishment.

Yes there is a picture and there is a metal wire there and there are more, multitudes more.

There are trucks filled with burnt bodies, there’s images of a burnt child running and falling. There’s videos of smoke still rising from the bodies as first responders reach the scenes.

But you know, if you want more, here you go.

Now you have BBC who corroborates the metal wire, and Haaretz that describes the beheaded babies as accurate, both well known and trusted sources.

If you actually want the archive with the first responder telegram that corroborates all this too I can PM it also.

The allegation of victims tied together and set on fire is absolutely true. I saw the images, and here is an article with it.

https://themedialine.org/top-stories/evidence-on-display-at-israels-forensic-pathology-center-confirms-hamas-atrocities/

This article is corroborated by The Guardian, who was at the same press conference, but chose not to post that picture, but a couple other ones.

I saw another image of this mother and child as seen at the scene of the crime too in an archive curated by first responders at the scene.

Many, many of the victims were burned alive.

Edit: Haaretz was probably at the press conference too.

Here’s a PBS video https://youtu.be/jRccpmfQrEE?si=lv3pfejLk1n9E7sg

It’s probably a lot more than 40 in various states of intentional or indirect dismemberment, burnings, decapitations, or complete disintegration to the point where only teeth remain.

There are also various archives with have images and videos corroborated by this report and other news outlets, like Haaretz, NYT, the Guardian, and others.

EDIT: Ah this was about Palestinian burned bodies not Israeli, my apologies.

On the bright side, this means that Republicans may have to stop playing hardball with Ukraine, in order to not appear hypocritical.

Most support Ukrainian support, and most Western countries need Israel as a foothold in the middle east.
