Effective Altruism Is a Welter of Lies, Hypocrisy, and Eugenic Fantasies The multibillion-dollar Effective Altruism movement makes rich people feel good about being rich β€” to hell with the bad publicity.

The newspaper reported that the release of the captives could begin in several days barring any last-minute obstacles, citing people familiar with the discussions. 

The reported agreement is the result of weeks of discussions between Hamas, Israel, and the US under Qatari mediation in Doha. 
 
Under the terms of the tentative deal, all parties to the conflict would freeze combat operations for at least five days, in exchange for the release of at least 50 hostages in "smaller batches every 24 hours". 
 
MEE could not immediately confirm the reported agreement.

#BREAKING: Israel and Hamas have reached a tentative deal to free dozens of women and children being held captive in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in the war, the Washington Post has reported.

Pentagon Fails 6th Audit in a Row and Their Excuses Are Hilarious There's "progress sort of beneath the surface of a pass fail," said the Pentagon Comptroller

The Pentagon just failed its sixth audit in a row, leading to some Bart Simpson level excuses from their leadership. You can practically smell the bullshit wafting off them. I pulled together three of the stinkiest: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/pentagon-f...

Normalize forgiving some people without reconnecting with them. Normalize loving some people from a distance. Normalize saying "no" without explaining yourself. Normalize removing yourself from anything that irritates your soul, triggers your mental health, and lowers your vibe.

The Buddha said that home is inside us, that there is a peaceful island within that we can go back to with mindful breathing or mindful walking. You can visualize a beautiful island, with trees, clear streams of water, birds, sunshine, and fresh air.
One breath, one step is all we need to feel at home and comfortable in the here and now. When we come back to ourselves like this and take refuge in our inner island, we become a home for ourselves and a refuge for others at the same time.
- THICH NHAT HANH

UN staff are starving in Gaza because Israel won't allow food in.
57 UN staff have been killed by Israel.
Are they also Hamas?
And then Israel have the nerve to ask the Secretary General to resign?
There isn't an article in the UN Charter Israel haven't already violated.
