41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

We are going to have to get better at counselling young people with late stage cancer. We are going to see a lot more of this, as people don’t realise they are at risk, and to take symptoms seriously.
Sometimes diagnoses will be missed because we don’t expect them.

Of course Hamas is to blame. That doesn’t mean that mass starvation isn’t indefensible.

I think it’s likely. If not, this is the most expensive bluff in history. He’s moved multiple carrier strike groups, hundreds of aircraft, several air defense systems, etc. into the region.
The thing that tells me a strike is most likely is that they’re also stocking blood for potential casualties.

Iran.
The Trump administration is way out of their depth in these negotiations. There’s a rumor that they’re going to demand that Iran dismantle their entire civilian nuclear program, as well as any military applications.
If so, that’s obviously a complete nonstarter and will likely lead to war.
