Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Already today, Israel has:

-Conducted a drone strike on Khan Younis in Gaza

-Shot & wounded two others near Khan Younis

-Killed 5 Palestinians in Gaza City

-Fired on & wounded a several others near Jabalia

All in violation of the “ceasefire.”

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

Gaza Still Needs You

This fight is not over.

In n Out at 1am with @inkydojikko.bsky.social was the move that I think salvaged me today

If it wasn’t for that, I would truly be a corpse right now

Anyways, I’ve watched the three minute lead up to this week’s Game Showdown victory at least 8 times today and I think those three minutes might be the best thing we’ve ever produced at Kinda Funny

Fun fact: Obama remains the only Nobel winner to order a drone strike on another Nobel winner

Jason Dogwood 💙 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 @jasondogwood.bsky.social · 6d

Happy anniversary to the day Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Somewhere, Trump is rage-Googling “how to win Nobel without doing peace.”

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
