Kentucky Republicans push to legalize killing homeless people
  • Do they suggest that land owner should feel ok if someone opens a tent on their property and decides to live there from now on? Normally, I guess you'd want your local law enforcement remove such unwanted guests, but looks like that isn't enough in this area...

  • High Court rules same-sex couples eligible to adopt children
  • With Israeli obsession with children and family, it is extremely hard for LGBT, or any other couples to adopt - they have to prove they have the means to raise up these kids - both material and psychological.

  • 'The rape … but,’ Jayapal twice hedges on Hamas sexual violence on ‘CNN’
  • While on the other side it can come to absurd like this:

    Hen Mazzig, an ex-IDF soldier

    in one case, a professor asked me if I knew how many Palestinians have been raped by IDF forces. I answered that as far as I knew, none. She triumphantly responded that I was right, because, she said, “You IDF soldiers don’t rape Palestinians because Israelis are so racist and disgusted by them that you won’t touch them.”

    And in Israeli academy (!)

    According to Dr. Gurevitch, This was a very serious paper that asked two important questions: Is the relative lack of IDF rapes a noteworthy phenomenon, and if so, why is it that there are so few IDF rapes when in similar situations around the world, where rape is so much more common? The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Nitzan, could not find instances of rapes of Palestinian women by the IDF it sought to find, so it was decided that the paper show that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.” It continues, “In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.” Ergo, Nitzan could not find any cases of rape by IDF soldiers of Palestinian women even though Palestinian media constantly accuses Israeli soldiers of this. Apparently distraught over such findings, Nitzan had to twist her thesis to attribute the lack of such rapes to a governmental program instilling in IDF soldiers that the Arab women are sub-human or inferior.

  • Keir Starmer removes leadership election pledges from website
  • There should be some kind of "accountability score" for politicians, managed by an independent body, that will track all their promises and follow up with whether they, at least tried, to fulfill them. So that voters will be able to refer to it, before they reelect the same do-nothing again and again....

  • Nothing to see here
  • I wonder, are you aware of the existence of black Jews? Also a lot of the Israelis today are descendants of people exiled from Middle East countries after 1948.

    Trying to paint this conflict as typical racial or colonialism issue is ignoring all the context of what has been going on in that region in last 120 years at least.

  • Nothing to see here
  • Ehm, civil-non-violent, eh? One of the released women is Amani Hashim (sp?) 37 y.o. from the West Bank who used her car to ram an Israeli soldier on a check point, seriously injuring him, and then waved a knife on others, while shouting religious slogans... Got convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

    I can imagine what would have happened, if that checkpoint wouldn't be there...

  • All things bodyweight @lemmy.ml burchalka @lemmy.world

    My current routine

    Hello, wanting to contribute some traffic to lemmy, I want to share my current bodyweight routine.

    Based on the old Recommended Routine from /r/bodyweightfitness. I start with basic warmup including shoulder rotations, seated reach the sky, table pose etc.

    Then I do 4 sets of 30 second handstand practice, with 90 second rest time between sets.

    Then I do one set of 4-5 muscle ups, since I learned them once, and want to maintain the ability to do them, while realizing that it's not the best exercise for actual training (refer to Fitness FAQ on YouTube)

    The actual workout consists of 3 pairs of exercises: 8 Bar/ring pullups - 6 Pistol squats 6 Banded Nordic curls - 6 Ring dips 12 Ring horizontal rows - 15 Floor pushups

    I rarely do any cool down, as the session is already long enough. All this as 40+ y.o. with a BMI of 33 (obese according to the charts). Edit: attempted to space things out a bit to look better as a post.
