Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.
UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

An inviting autumn landscape. Might've been yesterday, but it's actually an autochrome from 1912.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

One more push for this; It’s almost at 100k, this is a very much lovely welcome back to the channel.
Guess who’s back, back again, JB’s back, tell a friend: youtu.be/qKYi0Hel3xI?...
No seriously, tell a friend that I am back with more Murder, She Wrote reviews. Featuring: My Boyz, Dack Rambo, and practical jokes that aren’t so practical.

Some REAL good news;
The EU is backtracking on its earlier decision to abandon stronger anti-discrimination protections, following a campaign by @ilgaeurope.bsky.social.
Now there will be stronger protections and rights in the EU for LGBT people.

Season seven of Baywatch aired alongside Baywatch Nights season two, so Mitch fought vampires in the background while normal beach things happened. Except for that weird Phantom of the Opera episode. Here's my reviews of EVERY SINGLE EPISODE in one handy video!

Flow Criterion!! Very excited about the extras! There's a lot of cool, never before shown stuff here. And Away! It’s crazy to think that all of the feature films I’ve made so far are in the Criterion Collection! Now I only need to make the next one that could live up to that...

Since it is Baltic month, here are some facts:
Latvian and Lithuanian are in the Baltic language family, which is not Slavic but has a common ancestor
Estonian’s closest relative is Finnish. You can tell them apart because Estonians will flirt with you sober and Finns will flirt with you drunk
