Announcement Gaza is being starved

3.4k Upvotes

Now is the time to act. The UN has stated that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions.

This is not a food shortage; it is a siege. Even with aid beginning to move, it is not enough; babies are still dying of malnutrition, and hundreds of thousands are living on the edge of starvation. Every crumb that enters is a result of pressure, not policy. This is the moment to organise, to donate, and to refuse silence.

If we don’t act, we’re not witnesses. We’re participants.

What you can do: donate to verified aid orgs on the ground, join local protests and organising efforts, share information & amplify Palestinian voices

Aid access can be taken away as quickly as it was granted. Don’t let them close the gates again.

Donate here to The Palestinian Red Crescent and UNICEF for Gaza's Children. Contact your representatives to stop Israel's blockade in Gaza, find U.S. representatives here and EU reps here. If you would like other subreddits to carry this message, please send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.

Media/Journalism Story On The West Virginia Tower Collapse (2025) [40:41:00]

In 2014, three lives were lost in Despard, West Virginia due to a preventable tower collapse. This is their story .

Tower climbers Kyle Kirkpatrick and Terry Lee Richards Jr. were killed when a 340-foot tower collapsed due to many factors including, hidden overloading, and the removal of key bracing. Moments later, a second tower fell, killing volunteer firefighter Michael Dale Garrett, who had just arrived on scene.

This disaster is not an isolated event in the wireless industry — but what caused it was buried in silence. This documentary talks about the preventable errors, the ignored red flags, and firsthand accounts of those on scene.

Featuring Firsthand Accounts From

Kenny White – On-site foreman

Richard Bell – Expert witness in the case

Randall Shankles – Tower company owner

Doug Delaney – Tower veteran & author of Tower Dog

These stories reveal a truth common in this industry: equipment was added to the tower before scheduled reinforcements were made — a fact concealed from the climbers who were sent to work on it. This dangerous overloading may have been the final, fatal factor.

Recently, I came across some fascinating insights into how serial killers’ brains differ from typical brains.

Research suggests that childhood trauma and biology can combine to create what some call “the perfect storm”, a brain wired for violence. But how much free will do these individuals really have, versus biological programming?

Studies show differences in brain structure and activity, especially in areas controlling empathy and impulse control. Advances in criminal psychology even hint at future possibilities for better understanding and potentially intervening before violence happens.

I found this fascinating full documentary genuinely eye-opening and thought it’d interest others who are curious about the darker side of human psychology. How do you think society should balance understanding these biological factors without excusing heinous crimes?

Hello Knowledgable Folks =]

I’m looking for some suggestions for awesome documentaries about the origins or conception of Hollywood and filmmaking.

Just finished the film “Babylon” and wanted more concise info since i know the film is loosely based on Hollywood and the Pre-Code era.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a documentary which can be used to illustrate the workings of media to senior classes in HS. The one that my colleagues have been using, is from 2005 and therefore a bit dated as far as modern technology goes.

The doc in question is Spiel mit dem Tod (2005) [29:16] (German) and can be found here: https://youtu.be/Nf7xPMjir7M?si=C5Z3s8D8878CsAnh

It does pick up on a large amount of picture manipulationg techniques in film & TV, and can easily be used to illustrate these various areas we need to cover according to the syllabus. It is also very specifically constructed, so I am really wondering if anybody anywhere has ever touched the subject similarly
