This is an absolute betrayal to people who faithfully served their country. There is not a single Republican on earth who gets to utter the lie that they “care about our troops” now

Rep Claudia Tenney, recipient of tens of thousands in AIPAC money; who says the West Bank should be renamed “Judea and Samaria” and declared part of Israel; who welcomed sanctioned extremist Itamar Ben Gvir to Washington, is the leader of a group of less than 20 people to sign this letter.

Devastated that I'm going to have to boycott future Dean Cain projects such as "Hank's Christmas Wish 3: Elvis Lives" & "Pickleball Pandemonium"

Aerial shot of Gaza City, burned and bombed into burned and shattered, unliveable wreckage as far as can be seen.

Whole area that used to be houses, shops, public transport routes, made into rubble and blackened, unliveable ruins. Aerial shot shows vast area entirely obliterated as habitable, attacked again and again by Israeli forces.

Several wrecked Gaza schools, shown from the air, pulverised by Israel's forces: windows all gaping, bombed out and covered in ash and dust. Some people are trying to live in makeshift camps amid the destruction, in former quadrangles and bomb sites.

Aerial shots of neighbourhoods with destroyed apartment buildings, houses, offices and shops, all bombed by Israel's government. Starving people are trying to live in tents and makeshift cubbies on the former roundabouts on a main road.

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

Amazon review of Pride and Prejudice, left by carlton p morgan on 30 July 2010: "Just a bunch of people going to each other's houses"

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

Blimey, BBC Four, what have we done to deserve this? Next Wednesday 30 July, the late evening schedule is devoted to THREADS and THE WAR GAME, two of the most horrifying and bleakly depressing films ever made. There will be documentaries, too. Get the snacks in!

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Old timey star chart illustration of a shorthaired ginger and white cat floating amongst overlapping grids and little black stars. The word "Felis" is written underneath.

Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph Jérôme Lefrançois de Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped Felis when they created their official constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...
