BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

This is my will and my final message. If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Allah knows that I exerted every effort and strength I had to be a support and a voice for my people, from the moment I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would prolong my life until I could return with my family and loved ones to our original hometown, the occupied Ascalon "Majdal." But Allah's will prevailed, and His decree was fulfilled.

And on homelessness, for that single mom and her kids he’s crying crocodile tears for:

In a spat w/Bloomberg, Cuomo eliminated state funding for a rental voucher program known as Advantage, that helped people move out of shelter.

The result: homelessness spiked.

Cuomo helped form the IDC, a group of rogue Democratic state senators who sided with Republicans year after year to keep loopholes in NY’s rent stabilization laws.

The result: tens of thousands of rent stabilized units were eliminated.

My kid got to go on a school trip, and they drew the portraits and he spent the whole evening making fantastic pencil drawings of whatever was in front of him in our apartment.

Dystopian cyberpunk update: the TikTok algorithm is actively suppressing news about massive protests in LA so people are getting around it by tagging it as a 24 Hour Music Festival and then you search that hash tag so you see ppl in riot gear facing down tear gas talking bout the festival is lit

They say they called and left a voicemail. I didn't get it.

Andrew Cuomo’s primary endorsers have been pretty quiet More than a month after his primary loss to Zohran Mamdani, the former governor has no general election backers.

“since Cuomo’s stunning primary loss to Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani – and his subsequent independent campaign launch – not one of his previous elected backers has publicly reaffirmed their support for him in the general election” www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

I wish as many people wanted to actually click on Teen Vogue stories as like a post about our work being good and important, because this post is almost at 20k likes and that would be pretty good traffic!

Sometimes it feels like all of this is just a wild dream

I went to verify this and the search bar suggested "dean cain israel" and that also was 👎
