Israel said early Friday that it plans to take over Gaza City in another escalation of its 22-month war with Hamas. The decision, taken after a late-night meeting of top officials, came despite mounting international calls to end the war and protests by many in Israel who fear for the remaining hostages held by Hamas.

 

The risky plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not backed by the Israeli military’s chief of staff and will thrust the war with Hamas into uncharted territory.

 

Watching this parade of nonentities blunder through one half-hearted peril after another, I found myself, heretic that I am, rooting for the xenomorph-T-Rex bastard, if only in hope of a mass extinction event that would put both humans and script out of their misery. The storyline stumbles about like a sedated raptor, random, twitchy, and never quite threatening. Not even the prospect of “heart disease miracle drugs” can raise the pulse.

Did anyone enjoy Jurassic World Rebirth? I would really like to hear what you liked about it.

He likes them young.

 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology conducted a groundbreaking study on frontier models just before Donald Trump's second term as president—and never published the results.

 

The sale of a US-sanctioned tanker being pulled apart in India includes extended payment terms and measures to shield the identity of the owner, unusual clauses that point to growing pressure on older dark fleet vessels as sanctions enforcement tightens.

Ah fuck... I'm going to watch this later... I'm in for a great time it seems.

Absolutely, "I promised them women", that hit me hard.

Had the same feeling. Every time I thought he was dead he pops up again out of nowhere. I don't know I'm hallucinating but did they try to humanize him a little bit? Like there were parts I felt like he knew those were his kids.

Tough question. There are parts of the second one which is really good, subjective of course, but everyone I’ve spoken to agree the first 10 minutes is really good (was directed by Boyle).

To me the story is not connected, but still worth a watch.

No apologies needed, I absolutely agree with you, loved the first 10 minutes, middle was a bit meh for me, then the subway scene was really good to me too. I actually asked my wife if I did that what would she do, she said definitely not a kiss lol.

It matters. He needs a new supplier after his buddy offed himself.

 

President Donald Trump could meet in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as next week as he seeks to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, a White House official said Wednesday.

The official cautioned that a meeting has not been scheduled yet and no location has been determined. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss internal plans.

The zombie “titties” and naked women are there too, absolutely, but there’s something uniquely ludicrous about the film’s focus on swinging, sprinting masculinity, a kind of visual punchline to apocalypse. And we don't see this in movies very often. I actually thought the Alpha was Jason Mamoa for some reason, had to pause to Google it as I was pretty sure he wasn't in this movie.

Boyle and Garland have, in their dotage, outdone themselves. The first film was good, the second almost entirely forgettable, but this third act, wow, fucking fantastic. “28 Swinging Cocks”, “28 Inch Cock” or "28 Dicks Later", any could have been apt titles, but that’s too easy. This is the movie in which the anatomy is riotous, the intellect unashamed, the heart unexpectedly exposed.

My question was directed at this statement:

It's frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it's not too late to do something about it.

I’m implying that the powerful do nothing to help the Palestinians because they have nothing to gain out of it. Just like all the other countries with starving people and wars going on that don’t get much coverage. They will suffer and die because the powerful people have decided they are not worth saving.

I never really knew the full story of what happened to Masterson, until now.

Each of the four plaintiffs had been a member of the Church of Scientology at the time, as was Danny Masterson. Scientology forbids its members to report fellow members to police for any reason. (wiki)

That’s fucked up.

Just to play devil’s advocate, how does helping benefit the powerful people?

I don’t disagree, everyone will take care of their own, but if China wants to be a true world power, it can’t just focus inward and ignore everyone else.
