Israel planned to transmit via megaphones, Netanyahu's UN speech in Gaza. Kind of reminds me of that 90s movie, Strange Days, in which a psychopath transmits to his victims' minds the joy he experiences while torturing them.

I was away from Bsky for a bit. Just returned to find out cats have conquered yet another corner of the InterWebs. To be fair, personally, I can't find a nicer topic of conversation.

Great. As if AI, Elon Musk, and global warming weren't enough. Now there's another potential annihilation to freak out about.

I don't know if the good guys won in Syria. But I do know the bad guys lost. In the current state of the world, and the Middle East in particular, I'll take that.

Read the report compiled by Dr. Lee Mordechai and published by Israeli daily Ha'aretz about the war crimes in Gaza. I don't know what to say about it. I should probably scream from the rooftops. But any word would be a desecration. To cry and weep. How did we come to this?

Israel and Lebanon look like they are about to sign a cease-fire agreement. Awesome. But for the nightmare in Gaza and the fate of the hostages? No end in sight. Just another day for the unbearable.
