The creators of ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ have dismissed the idea of making a live-action adaptation:

“It’s really hard to imagine these characters in a live-action world. It would feel too grounded. So totally it wouldn’t work for me.”

이스라엘 군인들은 사막 밤의 추위에도 일부러 강하게 냉방기를 틀어 활동가들이 추위에 떨게 만들었습니다. 교도소에 도착하자 남성 의사 앞에서 남녀 모두 옷을 벗게 한 뒤 신체 검사를 했습니다. 마실 물을 받지 못해, 활동가들은 세면대에 있는 물을 마셔야 했습니다.

올해 노벨 평화상 (aka 노벨 전쟁상) 수상자인 베네수엘라의 마리아 코리나 마차도는 자국에 미국의 군사개입 및 이스라엘의 네타냐후 정권의 군사개입을 요청하고 끌어들인 친미 시오니스트로, 라틴아메리카의 극우 지도자들 및 시장주의자들과 결탁한 극우 인사다. 일부 미디어에서 그려지는 글로벌 남반구의 여성 민주주의 투사와는 거리가 한참 멀다.

Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado has voiced support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and other efforts to topple the government; she aims to privatize the country’s state oil industry and has praised right-wing Latin American leaders, such as Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele.

WTF category. In this case, my university, USC, provides cadavers to the US Navy to train IDF medical personnel. The cadavers are unclaimed bodies: people for whom no one was willing or able to pay for burials. What an afterlife after a difficult life--to have your body used without your consent.

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel

A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

2017년부터 현재까지도 사립대학 USC 가 의료목적으로 의대에 기부된 시신을 미 해군에 팔아먹고 미 해군은 시신들을 이스라엘 점령군의 수술 트레이닝을 위해 이용해 왔다는 취재가 나옴. 미국의 군산학 복합체의 존재 목적이 이런 거구나.

USC is selling bodies that were likely donated to the university for medical training to the US Navy to literally train the IDF, seemingly without family consent.

This is per reporting by USC’s own journalism school.

t.co/lZ5jmQoZ1t

Near the end of 2017, the United States Navy filed a notice of intent to begin purchasing human cadavers from the University of Southern California. The purpose: Use dead bodies in trauma surgery training for the Israeli Defense Forces.

Since that notice, the Navy has paid USC more than $860,000 for at least 89 “fresh cadaver bodies,” 32 of which were used specifically for IDF training at Los Angeles General Medical Center.

One contract is still ongoing. The Navy has already paid USC over half a million dollars, but the most recent contract allows for an additional $225,000 worth of cadavers to be purchased at the Navy’s discretion, which would bring USC’s total earned for the last seven years to nearly $1.1 million.

While the three contracts in question make up less than 1% of USC’s 367 contracts with the Navy, Annenberg Media was unable to locate any other U.S. university that had similar contracts involving the IDF. (See the other contracts here and here.)
