The world as we knew it has ended. Civilians no longer exist—only “legitimate targets,” only “collateral damage.”
The language of war has been stripped of its pretense, Francesca Albanese said fresh off her trip to Ireland. No more illusions of civility, no more performative concern.

“This Is Not a War—It’s a Genocide”: The Brutal Truth No One Wants to Admit
Francesca Albanese calls out the West’s silence: “Israel has killed 20,000 children—yet no EU government has cut ties.” Do civilians no longer exist?

When I saw the worst code ever at a bank, my instinct was to rewrite it when someone gave me the best advice: you could rewrite it but no one will thank you and when you introduce a bug, they'll want to know why you did it.
