What is Israel going to do with a future 2.5m landless Palestinian serfs on the West Bank?
Keep them in poverty and suppression indefinitely or terrorize them into leaving for Jordan or elsewhere?
Israel is a disaster.

Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by.

America's oldest workers can't retire. Here's how they're getting by.
For America's oldest workers, retirement isn't possible. Workers in their 80s live paycheck to paycheck, use Social Security, and dip into savings.

Re David Brooks in the Epstein files.
The idea he thinks the story is Epstein and not that a lot of powerful, rich, white men where in a good old boys club with a man running a sex traffic business and they either participated in it or ignored it. The story is the moral corruption of this class of men, not Epstein.

Insane story
The CIA once hauled a plutonium-powered "portable nuclear device” up a Himalayan peak to spy on China—then a blizzard hit and they left it behind.
It’s likely still buried in a glacier feeding the Ganges—a river system that supports ~600 million people. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Tinned fish is having a moment, but we say seafood in a can never went out of style. There are almost as many options to choose from as there are fish in the sea, so we tasted over 100 tins to find the really special ones worthy of gifting or serving at a party (even if it’s just a party of one).
The Best Tinned Fish
We tasted over 100 tins of fish from eight countries to find 24 favorites that are fit for parties, gifting, and more.
