Since I’m no expert and have no idea who Eisenkot is, I found this article helpful. Main difference policy-wise seems to be West Bank — more likely to crack down on Jewish extremists and violent settlers Oh, and a separate search indicates no corruption scandals www.jpost.com/israel-elect...

I created this photo using recent research so it relaxes your brain when you pause to look at the details. As I'm sometimes too unwell to post here (not good mental health due to PMDD & recovering from a breakdownA) it would help so much if you could maybe RT my photo. Many thanks 🌿

Fucking sick of these tech giants bulldozing their way over everything. Google plans to bulldoze a wildlife haven in Essex – home to rare species – for a data centre. Sign the petition now to help save it before it’s gone forever 🐝🦋 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Yesterday (Oct. 26) marked the 150th consecutive day that the Niño 3.4 sea surface temperature set a new record daily high, at 30.22°C (preliminary). This was more than 1.13°C above the previous record daily high set in 2015, as well as a record 3.49°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

It was planned for almost 20 years to close 14th St off from cars for 1 block so that the East Village Green Park could span 2 whole city blocks. But City Staff reversed that at the last minute despite 14th Street being closed for years with no noticeable increase in the very quiet 13th & 15th st

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 27, 2026 ~ SLR "On Monday morning, high tide brought water pouring into business districts in Newport Beach and flooded part of Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach... Conditions are expected to get worse Tuesday." www.latimes.com/california/s...

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

Engraving of a fox at Altxerri cave, Basque Country from ~39,000BP. Representions of foxes are apparantly rare in Ice Age art. The cave also includes depictions of bisons, aurochs (uro), reindeer (reno), a wolverine (glutón) and saiga antelopes, and are amongst the oldest cave paintings in Europe.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Govt's attempt to upend "long-settled case law" by invoking "stray language" from Slaughter and Trump v US is without merit and "would risk a return to the spoils system that Congress has sought to end since the 19th century."

lol, ok

Well played

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

David Frum told the truth when he wrote: "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy."

It's that special time of year when they give the danger-kitties pumpkins to play with at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minnesota. A much-needed timeline cleanse. 🐯🎃 (📷: wildcatsanctuary.org)

There are 2 approaches. One is to get donor blood stem cells (those that make the red blood cells and others) and do a bone marrow transplant. The other, newer, is to take the patient’s stem cells and use CRISPR to fix the single abnormality that causes the syndrome and then give it back to the

The Shinkansen high speed bullet trains in Japan—which travel up to 199 miles per hour—were first implemented in **1964.** 1964. Let that sink in. If you have never experienced one, they are fast, clean and inexpensive—and if you saw what we are missing in the U.S. it would make you even angrier.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

He is so close to getting it

Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

Breaking News! Code: y-Axis Alert! Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0°C. Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

3/ Utah officials learned in mid-August of the outbreak at C&T Fenn Farms, a fur farm west of Provo. Had poultry been infected, the playbook is clear: If even one chicken tests positive, the US requires farmers to kill the whole flock. There are no federal rules for dealing with sick mink.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Y’all, we are days from Election Day. Voting is underway. Deadlines are brutal. And Votebeat would like to give you all of our election sources for $0. www.electionexpertdesk.com

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.
