Netanyahu and his devil friend Ben Gvir whose son has definitely been killed and who may be injured himself. Fingers crossed

I know. We seem to have watched most of the good ones and I can’t take anything scary at the moment. If you find a good new one, do let me know.

Today there are rumours swirling that Netanyahu hasn’t been seen for 3 days with hopes he’s injured/dead. That would give us all a huge shot in the arm! What have you heard?

I can’t watch. I can’t even watch discussions about the MAGAts. I get news from Twitter so I do know what’s going on in the world but I can’t watch US news at all. I’m convinced there’s going to be a terrorist attack on US soil - I can only hope it’s at a certain residence in Florida.

We’re enjoying The Good Karma Hospital on Britbox. It’s depicts the area in Kerala where I lived for 4y as a child and the scenery takes me right back there. Also the general chaos in the hospital and town. Very entertaining and no violence.

Gale blowing outside at the moment. We are likely to have no power for cooking dinner.

A virtual hug back, ND. The weight of human suffering does seem to be a lot heavier than usual, and MSM do like to rub our noses in it. I bury myself in stories of rescued elephants and dogs, dramas on TV both good and bad, and classical music in the background. Only 30m of wretched news.

Such a marvel. I hope the story of the β€˜engineer’ is folklore.

Dear Sen. Blumenthal: I reckon we need to hear more about this. Will Dems hold a presser? Will Democrats pay for a prime-time ad? Will Dems grab mics and cameras on Capitol Hill?

Stunning. They certainly knew how to position their places of worship…

I’m with you ND. They need a certain height and that means there were some mistakes while that was worked out. Dare one hope there was a soft landing?

Chew toys everywhere but slippers are still the favourite and after that removing insoles from any shoe/boot and chewing them to shreds!

Haha. She’s still full of puppy naughties (she chews everything…) and gets up at 5 am but other than that she’s adorable.

Thanks so much, Janice. I have that beauty but it will be months before it is in full bloom like that. SO gorgeous!

It’s a growing trend.

Your derivation is spot on imo.

Well hello…but we’ve been saying β€˜Hello’ in Britain for generations and even today, β€˜Hi’ is considered American and not comme il faut in polite company.

I wouldn’t put anything past Hegseth or Netanyahu. If there’s a weapon they want to test……DUCK!

This war is more a manifestation of a personality disorder than any coherent strategy. You knew that, but @edwardluce.bsky.social frames it well and persuasively in his latest excellent column.

Can Merriam-Webster really be that ignorant?

Nobody conflates being anti-Israel with being anti-Semitic more than Netanyahu.

5/ One reason Rahm's turn is so significant is that it shatters a long-held taboo in American politics and in the Jewish community against attributing any rise in antisemitic behavior (discrimination, violence, etc.) to the actions of the Jewish state.

β€œI could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue” β€œWhen you’re a star you can do anything”. β€œHey Russia if you’re listening”. Trump insistently told us, showed us β€œwho he is”. It’s a recipe for the Hell Hitler and Mussolini inflicted on the world - no bottom, no human empathy. A stain on all who fail to object.
