#harrowing
Obit of the week

"Before the passage of Public Health Law 1310, as it was officially known, New York City was a minefield of dog dirt. On the sidewalks, in the streets, around the parks — negotiating the city was a harrowing exercise in feces avoidance."

Edward Lehner, Who Made Dog Owners Pick ‘It’ Up, Dies at 93 (Gift Article)
Before the law passed, navigating New York was a harrowing exercise in dog-feces avoidance. As he put it, sometimes “you would come home and have it all over you.”

[#genocide, #war, #death]

Wanna learn about the current practices in the machinery of death? Harrowing interview with the makers of #naza.

I think we have some solid stuff for the ICC/ICJ here that explains how the IDF and Israeli state operate.

It was well-documented. He went to rehab, eventually. But the plane ride Merrill describes is pretty harrowing. He said he delivered an unconscious Maurice to his parents in Miami.
But the drinking went on for several more years. And Marie was dating Andy, which ended poorly. The family had demons 😞

ONLY RON JOHNSON WILL.

DO YOU REALLY THINK CONGRESS WILL RESPOND.

DON'T KID YOURSELF? NOT THEIR PROBLEM, UNLESS IT HAPPENS TO ANY OF THEM.

If ONE man in that groupchat called out bad behavior, or reported it, then we wouldn't have this harrowing situation.

But no...
Not all men, yet it's always a man.

I had no idea how much death-defiance was behind the "no CJ tonight" in this 9/21 @p1podcast.com post. If you know Chris Johnston/@superpac.bsky.social at all -- personally, as an EGM reader, etc.-- you HAVE to listen to the latest episode.

Chris, I'm so glad you're OK. What a harrowing experience.
Change of change of plans. Stewy’s gonna do an episode after all. No CJ tonight. Enjoy!

The harrowing bruit of your song resounds.
Even though my tears won't fall,
I took the one memory you passed on to me
and held it close to my heart.

If I was an economic historian, I'd love to do a study on the gold/money flow out of Persia during Alexander's conquest. At that point the Middle East had been conquering and reconquering itself for 5000 years, recently took Egypt, Ionia, constantly harrowing western Greece...

The East had the loot

God damn that’s a harrowing piece of art.

The Radium Girls by Kate Moore was a harrowing history/science read.

The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Leigh Blum was a little less harrowing 😅

Bad Gays by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller (I never listened to the podcast so this was largely new info for me), much lighter in tone

I hope he's had really good therapy since that harrowing experience. He so young, so gung-ho in his work and so vulnerable. Welcome home, Evan. We who do not know you but really cared salute your stoicism.
The Russian Prison That Evan Gershkovich Carried Home
In an interview, Mr. Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was imprisoned in Russia for 16 months, described his ordeal and the moment that nearly broke him.

The details of this story are so harrowing, and this is the part that I have been thinking about the most. What kind of justice can bring peace to someone who has endured this kind of brutality. And are the systems we have set up to deliver that.
What about her future? What about how hard she worked to be there? What is to become of her life now? What process of justice could possibly right these wrongs? And how much more will she lose in the process of trying to get it? How much more of this are we all supposed to tolerate?

I've been obsessed with this one for over a week now, it's not leaving my mind since I read through everything it had in a binge of a few days.
Adelle's struggle with her body gets so harrowing to see sometimes, but it's also cute, incredible balance.

On the flip side, this promo just popped into my head this morning. Absolutely harrowing stuff in hindsight, especially from 'almost popped me clogs' onwards. Clearly had gone through some serious health shit before that I don't recall anyone picking up on too much
