Starship exploded. Second test launch failed.

The director of the WHO

Today @WHO led a very high risk @UN assessment mission to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza. The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted. Given this deplorable situation and the condition of many patients, including babies, health workers requested support to evacuate patients who cannot receive lifesaving care there anymore.

We are working with partners to develop an urgent evacuation plan and ask for full facilitation of this plan. We continue to call for protection of health and of civilians. The current situation is unbearable and unjustifiable.

Ceasefire. NOW.

Turkish President Erdogan in Berlin:

We will take steps to ensure that the Israeli political and military leaders who brutally murdered the oppressed people of Gaza are brought before international courts.

Isn't accusing the Israeli state of letting this happen a form of anti-semitism?

IDF claims to have found an AK-47 behind an MRI scanner

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/11/15/israel-gaza-latest-news-updates-hamas-palestine-day-40-live/

I don't know about you, but anywhere remotely in the vicinity of an MRI scanner is the absolute last place I would put a gun. Those things can rip earrings off your head.

Did some searching and found an instance of a cop who didn't take an MRI seriously:

https://www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/ajr.178.5.1781092

Once the officer was inside the MR suite, the gun was pulled from his hand as he attempted to place the gun on top of a cabinet 3 ft (0.9 m) away from the magnet bore. The gun was immediately pulled into the bore, where it struck the left side and spontaneously discharged a round into the wall of the room at the rear of the magnet. Fortunately, no one was injured. Although the gun struck the magnet bore, only minimal cosmetic damage occurred to the magnet itself. The MR unit had full functional capability immediately after the gun discharged. The weapon's thumb safety was reportedly engaged when the gun discharged.

Xi Jinping and Biden will meet at the Filoli residence, where the filming of the series "Dynasty", the comedy film "George of the Jungle", the thriller "The Game" by David Fincher, the comedy drama "Heaven Can Wait" by Warren Beatty and Buck Henry took place

The main house of the residence has 56 rooms, and the area of ​​the estate is about 5 thousand square meters, including a Georgian mansion and an English Renaissance garden.

Filoli was built between 1915 and 1917 for William Bowers Bourne II, owner of one of California's richest gold mines and president of the Spring Valley Water Company, which supplied water to San Francisco, and his wife Agnes Moody Bourne.

The estate's name is an acronym formed by combining the first two letters of the keywords of William Bourne's creed: "Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life.”

In 1975, the estate was donated to the National Trust for Historic Preservation with an endowment that helps defray annual operating expenses. The estate operates as the Filoli Center, a private non-profit organization with its own Board of Governors, staff and volunteers.

Observers note that it is a quiet, secluded estate where Biden and Xi can hold conversations in a relaxed atmosphere different from the APEC summit.

It is interesting that the Filoli estate was essentially built with money from the largest gold mine in California - the Empire mine, where hundreds and thousands of Chinese, taken as guest workers or simply fleeing the country before, worked and died for pennies for the good of America.

The collapse of the Qing Empire - it is because of the gold mines of San Francisco that in Chinese it is called Jiu Jinshan 旧金山 - Old Gold Mountains.

Biden’s China experts did not disappoint—the hint to Xi Jinping was not at all subtle.

I like y'all and your geopolitical analysis. But I'm going to stick with my own theory: The october 7th attack was triggered by the israeli intelligence so that their Tactical Cum Extraction Unit could extract as much cum as physically possible.

Israel Kills Children and Women as Preferred Victims: Lula

So far, Israeli forces have killed 11,180 Gazans, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women.

On Monday, Brazilian President Lula da Silva accused the Israeli government of killing innocent civilians "without any criteria" in the Gaza Strip.

While Lula condemned the actions that Hamas took against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, he emphasized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response has been "just as serious" given that the Israeli bombings have left over 11,100 Palestinians killed so far.

"I had never heard of news about children as preferential victims of a war. They throw bombs where there are children and where there are hospitals with the pretext that a terrorist is there," Lula said as Israel is militarily surrounding one of the main medical centers in Gaza.

In the fifth week of Israeli attacks on Gaza, the Palestinian health authorities updated the death toll to 11,180 people, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women.

Previously, UN agencies reported that 1.5 million Gazans have been forced to abandon their homes since October 7, when the Israeli forces began their offensive against the Palestinians.

On Sunday, 32 Brazilians and their families were able to leave Gaza on a military plane heading to Cairo. This happened after weeks of negotiations with Egypt and Israel, Lula confirmed, adding that the evacuation was achieved with "a lot of sacrifice."

The Brazilian president will receive his compatriots on Monday night in Brazilia, where the evacuees will receive psychological and medical support.

Lula promised to repatriate all those Brazilians who wish to voluntarily leave Israel and Palestine. Since Oct. 7, his administration has achieved the repatriation of 1,477 people.

The Marxist mortar squads are giving the genocidal settlers hell today

I had so much free time from being sick with Covid that I got constant reports for harassment and bullying from Vaushites on Reddit. Never posted so much before in my life.

I dream of a future where the opinions of "Westerners," Americans, Europeans (and Gusanos of course) etc. are given no weight and are treated on the same level as that of a 5-year old. actually, a 5-year old's opinion should hold more weight. I dream of a future where everyone can only treat a Westerner's opinion with pity and contempt.

US emissions are significantly underreported due to the rapid expansion of natural gas. Accounting for this leakage (fugitive emissions) could mean that US emissions are actually increasing YoY.

A study into American emissions from the natural gas industry. US natural gas consumption is rising at a terrifying rate to offset coal, but the environmental benefits of natural gas over coal are less tangible. Methane gas (CH4) is incredibly easy to leak and incredibly hard to deal with. In terms of CO2e, it is about 85x as potent over a 20-year period and 30x as potent over a 100-year period. Combustion of natural gas itself is estimated to release half the GHG of coal. So, what does that mean? Over a 20-year period, a leakage rate of 1.2% would put natural gas at GHG parity to coal. Over a 100-year period, that leakage rate goes up to about 3.3%. This is challenging because methane leaks everywhere: at extraction, during transportation, during processing, and at home... there is estimated to be a methane leak every 2 kilometers of pipeline.

So, how much methane leaks? The real answer is that we simply don't know. Previous EPA estimates vary widely, but it's widely accepted that we are undercounting it. Today, the EPA estimates leakage makes up 1.4% of total natural gas production. Researchers at Stanford estimate it to be about 9% over the Permian Basin. Researchers from Duke estimate that aggregate methane emissions from natural gas are 70% higher than EPA estimates. NOAA puts estimates of methane leakage over cities to be more than twice the EPA estimates. The Environmental Defense Fund estimates US methane leakage to be around 2.3%. The Atmospheric Fund estimates Canadian methane leakage to be around 2.7%. In fact, even the Congressional Research Service acknowledges that "the life-cycle GHG emissions of both existing and advanced natural-gas-fired technology may be comparable to coal-fired technology in the short term and could remain within range of coal-fired technology for several decades after emissions."

These numbers are terrifying. Over a 20-year period, we are absolutely fucked. Even using EPA numbers, the additional natural gas we burn today will have a greater impact on our climate in 2045 than if we had burned coal. So, let's take a look at

Figure 1: US energy production numbers

Total fossil fuel consumption is increasing. Coal is being replaced with natural gas, but total fossil fuel consumption is by no means contracting. Let's compare that with what the EPA reports for

Figure 2: US GHG emissions by sector

The EPA claims most GHG emissions reductions to be due to the electric power industry, which is reliant on switching from coal to natural gas. This is the key claim that the US uses to justify their aggregate GHGe reduction... but over what time frame? Over twenty years, we're at parity with coal even under the most optimistic estimates. Over a hundred years, we're at parity with coal under the leakage rate reported by most academic studies. Where is this GHGe reduction coming from and what time frame is it over? ****

Up the escalation ladder we continue to climb:

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for more than 11 attacks on IOF positions along the border using both missiles & suicide drones.

This is by far the heaviest or at least the busiest attack since the beginning of the war.

has anybody told trump about the Cum-Rescue Crew? he's gotta have some words for loser sperm come on

China is OKing pandas again, but maybe only for California?

Newsom is dragging Biden away from a complete deterioration of relations lmao.

that post-funeral ceremony where they give the grieving IOF widow the flag that was draped on her husband's coffin, but instead it's a vial of cum

the blinken from the us/china meeting in anchorage a year or two ago and today's blinken are like completely different people

probably because hexbear self selects for hilarious blinken pics but for some reason nowadays he's always somewhere in the vicinity of biden with an expression like he just tanked an entire city of mind flayers on his face lmfao

Memri TV actually backfired because the memes are too good

According to western media outlets, killing children is fine so long as you didn’t intentionally try to kill them (even if every action you took would knowingly lead to many child deaths).

It is raining in Gaza, which is some pretty good news

In other good news, it looks like today is another day of Israeli troops and tanks getting triangled

Why tf Israel has spermjacking crew and they proudly display it on social media?? Like genuinely taking sperms from dead soldiers seems to be a cartoonishly evil plot from fictional empires like 40k and Noxus from Arcane lore.

If Xi is genuinely serious about anything he says during this summit and lowers his guard as a result, then he's the biggest dumbass since Khrushchev

I pray Xi is playing Biden as much as Biden think's he's playing Xi, otherwise Chinese naivety is gonna doom this planet

Now that you all are coming around to recognizing Ansarallah it's time to learn about their land reform policies and agrarian revolution.

Yemen under the Ansarallah is a country where the power and wealth of landowners are actively diminished in an almost Marxist-adjacent fashion. In May of 2022, the third phase of the agricultural revolution was initiated by the Higher Agricultural Committee, which resulted in the expropriation of farmland across the entire country. In Yemen’s western Tihama region, 104 thousand hectares of land was expropriated for farming. And while this is just one example of Ansarallah’s economic plan, the same story is unfolding in regions such as Dhamar, Saadah, and elsewhere.

The agrarian revolution has also led to a revival of Yemen’s 600-year-old coffee culture. “The Coffee Revolution” is an initiative directly linked to the wider agrarian renaissance that aims to boost coffee cultivation through proper education of farmers and general oversight of farms and markets. A stimulant such as Qat, native to Yemen for decades, is slowly being phased out and replaced with coffee crops. An announcement was made back in February of 2022 by the Governor of Saadah Muhammad Jaber Awad and Shura Council member Abdullah Al-Qasimi, that all qat trees are to be replaced with coffee and almonds, a project that is still actively ongoing today.

On Qat specifically, Zaid Ali Basha within his research argues that the stimulant grew across Yemen’s population much in favor of Saleh’s kleptocratic dictatorship and what he calls “qatlords”, the landlords reaping profits from Qat cultivation. Qat usage and misusage were not mitigated because they created a “politically disengaged citizenry” that had surrendered to the state. An opioid for the masses if there ever was one. So long as the people were “happy” due to an active and daily consumption of a psychoactive stimulant, the state was able to repress, oppress and exploit the people for decades to little opposition.

The dire conditions that have been imposed upon Yemen have forced the Yemeni people to rely solely and squarely on national and local produce instead of an economy over-reliant on foreign imports that have proven unsustainable and have become weaponized by the enemies of the country: “woe to a nation that eats what it does not plant, and wears what it does not weave” is a common Arabic saying that beautifully ties together what Ansarallah’s economic plan is all about.

What Ansarallah has managed to establish while facing war, starvation, and a crippling blockade, is a system that could best be described as akin to Yugoslavian worker self-management but without the overtly socialist aesthetic and tone. In fact, this system was what Ibrahim Al-Hamdi was trying to establish with his five-year plan but never realized before his death in 1977. The state in Sana’a does not control farmland, nor does it dictate the output of agrarian produce. Farmland and output are controlled by the cooperatives, which are wholly owned and administered by Yemen’s peasantry.

People on .world get really mad when you tell them you're not voting for either presidential candidate since they both represent genocide denial/enablement.

We found a rusty old mosin and some body armor in a dumpster behind the hospital, that justifies us dropping napalm on it.

I stg every Israeli politician/military general looks like a bully from an 80's movie.

Apparently 7 students got arrested at that school who banned the Students for Justice in Palestine https://archive.is/nKIle fuckers are hardcore

"I saw police choking out the students, like hands on the front of their necks choking them. I saw police with their knees in the backs of kids. It was really very horrific," Brandeis student Farah Mahmoud said. "The rest of the police that weren't actually involved in the arresting were going around trying to disperse the group and they had their batons out and they were kind of just pushing people back to get them away, taking people's signs. It was honestly very violent from the police whereas the students were very, very peaceful the whole time."

Brandeis says the students were chanting speech the university deems as hateful such as, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Israel is so bad at propoganda. They just found some crackhead and paid him to point at random things in some basement. Who's convinced by this?

just saw some news of a female IOF soldier dying from a rocket wounds, It got me wondering, do they harvest her eggs now or what?

IOF be like 🗓️

lmao look at the way that Biden fucking staggers over to Xi HEY MAN I’VE SEEN YOU ON TV MAN NICE TO SEE YOU HERE

Break: Ehud Olmert tells me Hamas command center is in Khan Younis - not #Shifa hospital. “Khan Younis, which is in the southern part of Gaza Strip, is the real headquarters of Hamas.”

New movie idea idea: its like black hawk down but about cum extractor operators

Just in case anyone was under the impression that Suella Braverman was fired by Rishi Sunak because of her diabolical stance against immigrant boats and homeless people, it's actually because she criticized the police. No, this is not a bit. The Special Bodies of Armed Men must not be criticized, lest the whole system of capital collapses.

Xi Jinping flamed the Chinese football team

Dude's actually hilarious

Where did he get this charisma

https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/national/2023-11-16-gift-of-the-givers-condemns-killing-of-its-head-in-gaza/

SA disaster relief group Gift of the Givers says its regional head in Gaza, Ahmed Abbasi, has been killed as Israel continues its bombing of the Gaza Strip in retaliation for an attack by Hamas on October 7.

Abbasi died at the hands of Israeli forces in Gaza while returning from morning prayer on Thursday with his brother, who was also killed, the organisation said.

Honestly has me feeling a bit sick, gift of the givers is one of the best charities out there, they help anyone no matter what.

Posting weariness suggests the supply situation for Hexbear is a mounting problem. With the Ukraine war news reduced to a trickle in Avdviika and the situation in Gaza becoming horrendously repetitive, will the Iceland offensive restore posting spirits?
