I disagree. The trouble with cluster bombs (as with landmines) is that they are indiscriminate killers. Sure, they may kill some Russian soldiers now, but the ones that don’t explode (a huge minority of them) will remain in the ground until an innocent Ukrainian child gets blown up years from now.

It’s fine to cheer on the ‘killing Russian soldiers’ part, but when it comes to cluster bombs that comes hand in hand with ‘killing innocent civilians, years after the conflict ends’, which is less okay.

Those things being evil does not make cluster bombs less evil.

It is fascinating how personal biases shape our communications and beliefs.

…in your opinion. As per your link, the IAEA does not share your certainty.

Grossi asserted that he “didn’t see that kind of development” on the ground, but also that “anything can happen, that is what worries me”.

IAEA is not confirming it, but I think it’s a stretch to get “pure deranged nonsense” from that quote.

Yes, I see that as the most likely outcome unfortunately.

I don’t see it as a bad thing if the right-wing vote splits between the Tories and a new party.

Whenever Reddit execs have made the news over the past decade or so, the clear impression I’ve had is that they are just a bunch of immature highschoolers who are in way over their depth.

That’s about not allowing nsfw content through the API though - different to banning nsfw subreddits.

TIL that Reddit is banning smaller porn subreddits

I’ve not heard this one, do you have a source/thread about it?
