I've been locked out of my Twitter account cos I got a new phone, and since Elon got it, the support is absolutely dire. So I'll be leaving. Wish I could say I have a Bluesky or something, but I'm done with social media. I hope to see yous in real life, for a change.
Peace.

"When I saw the report from Al Jazeera, I said: 'Ah, yes, it's true,'" a combat soldier in a conscript IDF brigade who took part in the use of Gazans as human shields told Haaretz. "And then I saw the IDF's response, which totally doesn't reflect reality"

"I came to search for the remains of my son, who had gone ahead to the dawn prayer. Someone gave me a bag of 23 kilograms and said, 'This is your son; bury him.' As I carried him, I remembered a day when I was coming back with him from the market, carrying a heavy bag. He, in complete filial piety, asked to carry it for me. He went to his mother happily, boasting of his manhood, singing in front of his siblings, and teasing them that he carried all this weight alone for his father. His siblings embraced him, and his mother prayed for his long life and goodness. Now, once again, you precede me with the bag to the house, my son. But how do I convince them that you are the one inside it? That your laughter, which used to fill the house, your thin arms that you used to use to spar with your siblings, your head that used to rest on your grandmother’s lap, and your feet that tirelessly searched for water—all have become one in this bag. When your mother asks me in a bitter Gazan tone, 'Do you know if there is any electricity, Abu Saleh? Where will I store all this?'—all the goodness we give to the neighbors—how will I tell her, my son, that what’s in this bag is not suitable for charity, and that 23 kilograms of remains is our share of death this week?"

Russian sources report that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attempting to cross the border near Kolotilovka village in Belgorod Oblast and have requested immediate reinforcements.
If confirmed, one breakthrough in Kursk region and one breakthrough in Belgorod region will force the Russians to pull out its most experienced units from Ukraine and to redirect them to the new frontlines in Russia.
