New Warfare: Exploding pagers belonging to Hezbollah kill 8 and injure more than 2,700 in Lebanon
"BEIRUT, Sept 17 (Reuters) - At least three people were killed and more than 1,000 others including Hezbollah fighters, medics and Iran's envoy to Beirut were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, security sources told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of conflict with Israel."

Exploding Pagers in Lebanon, Raising Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel
Authorities in Lebanon are blaming Israel for an apparent attack in which pagers, used by Hezbollah in Lebanon, exploded simultaneously. At least nine people were killed, more than 2,700 were injured. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese paramilitary group backed by Iran, had already been high and there were fears their frequent attacks on each other could escalate into all-out war. We hear about what this all could mean from our correspondent in the region.

Data center emissions probably 662% higher than big tech claims. Can it keep up the ruse?
Emissions from in-house data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple may be 7.62 times higher than official tally. #ClimateChange
We won't know exactly how that money has been spent for a long time.

Superb reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle shows how California police officers' misconduct is systematically covered up. This gives bad cops an easy way out of trouble. And it lets them join other departments that hire them without knowing their backgrounds.
The whole system is the bad apple.

Presidential assassination attempts, whether successful or not, are fairly commonplace in American history. In fact, 40% of presidents have experienced known attempts on their lives.
Always with a firearm.
Always by a man (with the exception of Gerald Ford's two attempted assassinations).
"The violence itself shows the worst of society, but Americans often seem at their best in the aftermath," writes a presidency scholar:

The saccharine themes, that feeling of being manipulated by having your heart strings jerked... and then nothing is aerodynamic or flying into the sky ... It's just... A Lesson and An Obvious Message.
Is this what will hang on all the walls in a Trumpian future?

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@futurebird The case that fascinates me is Norman Rockwell: people assume he was a right-winger because he hits all the same saccharine/nostalgic/didactic notes, but he was an FDR liberal and ferociously pro-civil-rights.
He was a better artist than McNaughton though.
