lmao this is the most bizarre take one would hope that an hour of reading would lead to the extremely lax plea deal with Acosta, or his relationship with Les Wexner etc. like ….. you could simply read @jkbjournalist’s work!

Truly and shockingly stupid. Beyond the nonsensical distinction between “defensive” and “offensive” weaponry (gee, this state of constant warfare with neighboring countries is putting us in so many self defense situations!), why is this one country entitled to FREE REFILLS?
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…

It might sound conspiratorial, but Zelensky's "slide" to authoritarianism started before the war + was happening throughout it, and was widely commented on and known about - it was just ignored or labeled Russian propaganda. So covering it now is indeed an editorial choice.
How interesting the FT and Spectator within hours of each other have published unprecedentedly damning - and almost identical - articles about Zelensky, his "authoritarian" rule, and how his government and the public have lost faith in him. He's 100% toast.

A shocking Associated Press investigation has uncovered disturbing footage showing security contractors firing live rounds and stun grenades at Palestinians, not in combat zones, but at food distribution centers in Gaza.
hideously fat guy with the last name couch commits to watching more TV!
I'd watch this, would you?
Michael was one of my favorite actors I ever worked with. “The Getaway” was very early in my career and he made me feel safe and supported. He was wildly audacious and rambunctious with his character choices, and had a wicked sense of humor. I don’t recall ever laughing so much…
Losing Michael Madsen is an absolute gut-punch. What an incredible actor, gone way too soon. Without question, I’ll remember him in part from his outstanding performance in Kill Bill. Madsen’s partnership with Tarantino was so special. This is incredibly sad news.
BEERSHEBA, Israel (AP) — American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press. apnews.com/article/palest…
