Malcador

That UK assessment seems like they just wrote something as they had to. She's interesting to follow on this, even if has Twitter snark as is required too often.

For sure, just found the presentation a bit silly. Not as silly as the guy bringing a rock to a UN meeting and acting like it was a WMD.

Haven't tested, but do bodies still explode into nothing when you drop them ?

https://news.sky.com/story/israel-accuses-hamas-of-commanding-attacks-from-inside-gaza-hospital-12994074 Israel still kind of sucks at this info war.

Blacksad is being given away.

Looks like the invasion or whatever operation they're doing is going to kick off soon. Air strikes picking up https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-67223217

Bit unfair really, DPRK spends their money in a way EU citizens wouldn't enjoy. Also stretching the "we" there, hah. Keep seeing anecdotal moaning about lack of artillery and mortar ammo in Avdiivka though

Well Hamas have a bizarre relationship with morals, so I don't expect much from them. Even if they did I don't think Israel would agree - don't negotiate with terrorists - and invade anyway. International pressure matters not as the US is always going to back them (I guess the US vassal, the UK as well). At least the UN bickering continues - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/10/25/israel-gaza-russia-us-united-nations/

Reminds me of But nah, just applies to uncool kids. The others enter a realm of greyness and nuance.

Was just an amusing story and an overreaction in my eyes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/25/israel-says-it-will-ban-un-staff-after-secretary-generals-comments "Speaking at a UN general debate on the Middle East in New York, Guterres created fury when he said: “It is important to … recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.” He also said no injustice to the Palestinians could justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said on army radio: “Due to his remarks we will refuse to issue visas to UN representatives. We have already refused a visa for undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, Martin Griffiths. The time has come to teach them a lesson.”

It was just a feint.

Each day I ask myself, what would Ja think.

So, wait, is it an FPS ?

https://barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-on-israel-and-gaza-a6c397f09a30 Seems like usual platitudes, but figure it might be an interesting share.

New D4 season is fun, the Bloodtides always give you something to do, also nice that World Bosses appear more frequently. Trying a ranged rogue, but the call of Flurry is too strong.

They sure freak out over nothing much here

One of the rules in the rules based order.

Convenient.

Go to grocery A, buy 12 of an item. Go to grocery B and see item on sale for $1.50 less each. Unable to properly articulate the rage I experienced

Wonder how long until IDF intelligence claims Hamas is seizing the 12 trucks and JDAMs them.
