Watch Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar’s Final Moments Captured by IDF Drone
  • I wish I could to, but I don’t think Netanyahu would take an off-ramp? He’s getting everything he wants: clearing land in Gaza and Lebanon for settlers and giving a Final Answer to the Palestinian Question. At this point, I don’t think Israel will stop until it’s forced.

  • Best film with Dragons?
  • Reign of Fire scratches a particular itch that’s just neat for “dragon apocalypse in the modern day”.

    Dragonslayer is classic 80s fantasy cheese complete with a grand battle on a mountaintop between an ancient wizard and the dragon itself, VERMITHRAX PERJORATIVE.

    How To Train Your Dragon 1 and 2 are absolutely gorgeous with beautiful soundtracks, fun characters, and a story that goes straight for the heart.

  • These Alabama Workers Were Swamped by Medical Debt. Then Their Employer Stepped In.
  • I love that something like this exists for these workers and demonstrates how freely accessible health care saves everyone (including the company) a whole bunch of money.

    I hate that this is a: reliant on the goodwill of a private company and b: bold and revolutionary for the US.

  • At Least 12 Killed, Dozens Wounded In Israel Attack On Beirut.
  • In 2021 Netanyahu was indicted for bribery, fraud, corruption, breach of trust, etc. The trial is actually still ongoing, but basically as long as he’s Prime Minister, he’s probably not going to see the inside of a cell.

    So in order to stay Prime Minister he needs to keep his coalition of various nationalist religious conservatives together and he needs to not have another election.

    As long as there’s a war going on, he can postpone elections, and as long as he’s clearing land for settlers he’s appealing to those same nationalist religious conservatives.

    So basically he’s trying to start a forever war so he doesn’t go to jail.

  • Russia ‘fully ready’ for Arctic war with NATO
  • https://geology.com/articles/arctic-oil-and-gas/

    This makes the Arctic an incredibly rich area. It is about the same geographic size as the African Continent - about 6% of Earth's surface area - yet it holds an estimated 22 percent of Earth's oil and natural gas resource.

    A more accessible Arctic will create new opportunities for shorter, potentially more economical, northern maritime trade routes imagined by global leaders for centuries.

    Not to mention the strategic use of the Arctic, aka, the reason NORAD is a thing.

  • Gang of wild otters mauls jogger
  • I once got to go behind the scenes at a zoo, including their vet’s operating room. They had a bunch of interesting stories about how they tranq and operate on different animals of various sizes, but the worst experience they had was with an otter.

    Poor little guy woke up partway through surgery, panicked, and went fucking berserk. Those little claws left gouges a foot long and an inch deep in the vet. And then, because they’re so small and fast, trying to re-anaesthetize it was a huge pain.

    Anyways, I think about that story a lot when I hear about otters.
