soratoyuki, (edited ) to news in 6 'Soldiers of Christ' members are in custody after a woman's body was found in a car trunk

"A police spokesperson said Friday that investigators believe they have arrested everyone who is involved and are not looking into Soldiers of Christ any further."

Not sure which prewritten response to choose from... Do I make a joke about how if we defund the police, there won't be any police around to decline to investigate possible human trafficking rings? Or do I make one about QAnon ignoring yet another case of human trafficking coming from there own bizarre christofascist orbit?

Kinda hard to make a joke out of some psychos starving a poor woman to death and just leaving the body in the trunk of their car.

Anticorp, to news in The Supreme Court will hear a case with a lot of 'buts' & 'ifs' over the meaning of 'and'

It was written in 2018, not 1818. Just ask the people who wrote it. Sheesh!

Whoa now! Let's not allow the wheels of justice to speed along here!

Nah. It was pretty conclusively shown by Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag that covid came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology: https://public.substack.com/p/first-people-sickened-by-covid-19?r=58hqy

@a Did you read the article? The evidence cited there seems more compelling to me than the suspicious-but-circumstantial evidence that supports a lab leak; cases statistically clustered around the part of the wet market that sold the suspect animals, and genetic similarity to a bat strain of covid.

Still, it's possible, I just no longer believe it's probable. This quote from the article sums it up:

“Have we disproven the lab leak theory? No, we have not,” Andersen said. “But I think what’s really important here is there are possible scenarios and there are plausible scenarios and it’s really important to understand that possible does not mean equally likely.” ...

“Both of these two studies really provide compelling evidence for the natural origin hypothesis,” said Aliota, who wasn’t involved in either study. Since sampling an animal that was at the market is impossible, “this is maybe as close to a smoking gun as you could get.”
