Supposedly they still have several months worth of munitions. Which should be more than sufficient if this is (as they claim it is) the final push. The fact that they're upset at even a delay in the weapons shows where their real intentions lie.

Fuck your genocide.

Israel felt the U.S. allowed it to be blindsided by Hamas’ announcement this week that it was accepting a version of a cease-fire proposal.

Oh, you didn't have a chance to move the goalposts? Cry harder.

For years, the site had a standing policy that prevented the use of generative AI in writing or rewording any questions or answers posted. Moderators were allowed and encouraged to use AI-detection software when reviewing posts. Beginning last week, however, the company began a rapid about-face in its public policy towards AI.

I listened to an episode of The Daily on AI, and the stuff they fed into to engines included the entire Internet. They literally ran out of things to feed it. That's why YouTube created their auto-generated subtitles - literally, so that they would have more material to feed into their LLMs. I fully expect reddit to be bought out/merged within the next six months or so. They are desperate for more material to feed the machine. Everything is going to end up going to an LLM somewhere.

Serious Trouble, by the further hosts of (and essentially a continuation of) All the President's Lawyers.

Nocturne, by Vanessa Lowe. A podcast about the night, and things that happen during the night. Favorite episodes: Night ways about what ancient people use to do at night and how archeology and anthropology are changing their perceptions; Finding the Void about a guy who lived inside a mall; On the North Face about a guy who got lost while climbing Mount Shasta; What's Would You Do about the fear of night.

I usually check in on The Daily like once a week to see if anything interesting has been covered.

And This Week in Virology, which I got into during the pandemic. Usually the weekly update on Friday on what contagious diseases are currently circulating, and about half the time their Sunday episode.

A. It was a recall election (though still good).

B. Was this district affected by redistricting?

Some of the states are very logical. For example, both Florida and Texas have deliberately and determinedly become red state hellholes because they want to drive out liberals and attract conservatives - because by doing that, they ensure that they retain all of Florida and Texas' electoral college votes.

Ah, one of the things that rural areas bitch about most, all the young people leaving the region ...

destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities

"scuse us while we move some goalposts here ....

and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future

And suddenly it's not 'Hamas' that's a threat, but 'Gaza'. More moving goalposts, and revealing Israel's real aim: the elimination of Gaza itself. Except, like the Republicans, who constantly have to create a new threat to 'defend' themselves against, after Gaza it'll be the West Bank. And after that it'll be something else ...

The picture is interesting. That particular shade of green is the one that's usually worn (either in a vest or cap) by the legal observers for the protesters. So it looks like the cops may have arrested a legal observer ...
