| 10:21a | https://slate.com/news-and-politics/200 Few cases of death by lashing in the Muslim world have been reported. (People are lashed in non-Muslim countries as well—for instance, the Bahamas reinstituted flogging in 1991.) In 2004, a 14-year-old Iranian boy was killed while serving a sentence of 85 lashes; the person in charge of the punishment misfired, striking his head rather than his back, causing a brain hemorrhage. (A metal cable was used for the lashing in that case.) And in 1998, a Sudanese man was flogged to death by public-order police, but it’s unclear how many lashes were administered and with what force. Saudi Arabia metes out by far the strictest lashing sentences in the Muslim world. Both Sudan and Iran employ the practice but usually stick to the more moderate 40 to 80 strokes prescribed in the Quran. The most severe lashing assigned by a modern Saudi Arabian judge took place in 2007, when two men received 7,000 strokes each as punishment for sodomy.

| 3:09p | How to Improve Humanity It is really easy to boost human IQ. Issue a test, where people have to agree or disagree with different statements. Among a bunch of the irrelevant statements, like "One day you will become a billionaire", place the one really important "Trans Rights are Human Rights". Those who check-box "unsure" or "somewhat disagree" should be made to disappear by taking them from their homes at night (these are the higher IQ transphobes and therefore the most dangerous). Those who answer "strongly disagree" should be arrested for hate speech and kept inside zoos, so little trans kids could look at the dangerous animals and throw them some junk food when they perform tricks, like doing the nazi salute or eating their own shit. Those passing this bottleneck test will obviously have higher IQ than those who fail.  Current Mood:  contemplativeCurrent Music: Boards of Canada - Trans Canada Highway |
