Happy 100th birthday Dick Van Dyke, I've spent most of my life confusing you with Rip Van Winkle and thinking you were a fictional character.

WTF? A pastor at The Rock Church in San Diego beat and starved a little girl to death??!! How am I just hearing about this? And from the BBC no less?

What’s going on at The Rock, and what happened to San Diego journalism?!

Thank you

Appeared in a TV advert as a young child. What went out was deeply embarrassing and I got bullied for years as a result. It recently resurfaced on YouTube. A couple of people have said I look like the kid in the ad. I have flat denied it's me.

Film review: The Voice of Hind Rajab

The film "focuses on the Palestinian Red Crescent response to the desperate cellphone calls of Hind, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl, trapped by Israeli fire in Gaza in January 2024."

Hind, "along with six members of her family & two Red Crescent paramedics, eventually died in a hail of lethal IDF fire."

Report: Hamas's stance on governing Gaza, disarmament

Hamas official Khaled Meshaal says "authority in Gaza must be Palestinian... It is the Palestinian people who decide & who govern."

"The Palestinian resistance is putting forward realistic & practical proposals to ensure that Israel does not face a new attack from Gaza, without requiring disarmament."

Analysis: "Israel's biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza"

In addition to direct deaths from Israeli bombs, vast numbers of Gazans have been "indirectly" killed through starvation, disease, & destroyed homes, water, electricity, sanitation & hospitals.

The indirect toll is likely four times greater than the direct toll, ie, at least "350,000 killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions."

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

#Nato secretary general, Mark #Rutte, called on Europe to be ready to respond in a military way if the Russian army would attack Europe next.

He stressed that currently we witness the biggest war conflict in #Ukraine since the end of the II World War.
