Just heard an interview with the director-general of Gaza's Health Ministry Dr. Munir al-Bursh in which the interviewer asked: what remains available in northern Gaza as viable options for medical centers and relief teams to intervene following Israeli strikes?
To which Dr. al-Bursh replied:
The only thing available is death.
People are bleeding and dying on the streets, as is happening right now after the Indonesian hospital and Kamal Adwan hospital were both destroyed.
This morning, a woman came carrying her fetus’ head, she could not find anyone to deliver her baby. We assisted her at the entryway of the medical center.
The truth is, there is nothing but death now on every street, on every corner, and in every alley. Death is the master of the situation.
This is genocide. This violent bombing is intended to annihilate the Palestinian people, it is intended to annihilate the health system, it is intended to kill children.
Since this morning, we have been receiving children in our arms. Our hearts are frozen, our minds are frozen as we hold these innocent children.
These are executions, this is genocide.
People in Gaza City have been crying out for help since last night because of a fire that has been burning their area and their children. They have been burnt to death. Last night ten of the Najjar family came to us with severe burns that exceed 60% or 70%, so death is their solution. Death is easier for them.
Many wounded people are arriving to us now, and this small hall in the Jabalia Medical Center is filled with wounded people who prefer to die because there is no treatment, no medicine, no painkillers. We had four surgeries tonight, and by God, by God, there is no anesthetic medicine for them. The doctor told me either they die or I try. I told him to try without any drugs. This procedure was filmed, and the patient was screaming in agony, but what do we do? We have a choice: whether to let him die or try.
What can I say? God, these scenes no one can even imagine.
Quackity: Let's see, now it's your turn to pronounce our names.
YD: Oh my god.
Roier: [Rolling his R] Roier.
YD: It sounds like you're making it harder to pronounce on purpose! 🤨
After trying to learn how to pronounce YD's name, Roier tries to teach YD to say his name and roll her R's! (She isn't very successful, but they do have a fun yodeling session).

bet you feel like an idiot for calling out daniel now
Um... I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you do not speak French and got duped by that tweet’s sensationalist headline. As it happens, I do - so let me help you out:
Interviewer: "There is another element that could play in your favour, which is the mood at Red Bull is deteriorating whether we want it or not. With everything that happened, [in Ferrari] you are more relaxed. At some point of the season, this can play a part?"
Charles: "Yes, but it's not... I just want to win fair and square on the track and to reach that goal, we have to focus on ourselves and try to understand what are the things to improve on the car. On this, we are fully focused on what we need to do, on our weaknesses and the weaknesses of the car. But as I've already said in Bahrain, we are very clear on what we need to improve on the car, and we are in a positive spiral with the team these days. Since the second part of last season, we really identified where we need to work and we saw immediate improvements and we need to do the same now."

First of all, the question itself is pretty distasteful. Sexual harassment allegations and workplace safety for women shouldn't be parsed down to "hey, do you think you can take advantage of this to drive faster than Red Bull?!" What a terrible, insensitive way to frame this whole situation.
As for Charles' answer, I'm not going to say it's the best answer in the world. Could he have used the opportunity to acknowledge the greater problem of sexual harassment and the safety of women working in F1? Absolutely, he could have done better. But he answered the question that he was asked, which was does he think the controversy surrounding Red Bull can be used to his advantage. He essentially said "no, I'd rather beat them fair and square by being the best team." At no point did he actually say "that stuff doesn't concern me." Nor did he call it "a lot of noise and distractions" and wish for all of this to "slowly go away" and praise Red Bull for how they are handling it.

This conversation is from about a week after Hiromu and Desperado's outstanding BOSJ 2020 finals match. During that match, Hiromu gave Desperado a nasty gash on his back.
Desperado:
Well, the swelling on my back from being thrown into the bare corner Death Valley Driver has finally subsided, but
My skin is still rough and itchy.
It's inhuman, being able to do something like that to another human being.
Wei Wuxian easily found ways to entertain himself, and he was especially skilled at finding amusement in the middle of hardship. Since there was nothing else to amuse himself with, he could only use Lan Wangji.
For Mermay I'd like to suggest we all (re)read The Disabled Tyrant's Pet Palm Fish, which features such hits as fish mpreg and reverse mermaids. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
Fans Gathering 111220: "We don't know!!"
Let me add something. The new year is coming, please save money to buy some happiness for yourself... (Fans: It's you two!) I can read their lips, they say we're their happiness. But, don't forget that you are our happiness, too. So take good care of yourself, and be careful with how you spend money. We're very worried about you.

My brain has been complete and utter MUSH for the last month or so, and it's entirely @morgue-ratt's fault.
They slowly but surely seduced into falling in love with the DC comics villain Deathstroke by sending me numerous artworks and comic book scans depicting him shirtless over DM's.
It doesn't matter that I didn't even try to resist it, it's still their fault I now have a beloved new 'comfort character'...*sobs dramatically*
And NOW...I keep having 'thoughts' about another one of DC's most notorious villains...Scarecrow.
'Thoughts' that primarily involve being strapped to a chair similar to the one in Bo Sinclair's 'dungy little sex dungeon' and being cruelly subjected to the devastating combination of fear toxin...and a remote-controlled panty vibe.
Unfortunately I only had 3 amber eyed drow plushies left, so one of them has Red eyes. His hair is also curlier than the others since it was the last of the skein, so I'm gonna say that one is from WotSQ. Which... if you know, you know.
And as a bonus, her's MY Gomp "saving" Kimmuriel from my giant spider web light (and also demonstrating the strength of the magnets in their hands!)
