@donna_moskal @serenagarde @BrianDietzen Awesome. Glad you dug it

I last wrote an #NCIS episode more than 14 years ago. I suspected the show would still be going strong for a while. I thought it would be fun to write another one with @BrianDietzen It was very fun. It's on tonight.

@serenagarde @BrianDietzen That’s very gratifying

I need to take a moment to say congrats the incredible teams that brought bf6 to life. What an incredible journey we’ve been on the last few years. They poured themselves into this game. So amazing to show all their hard work. And they are just getting started, more to come.

@lincoln_du40753 Hi. Was not a reference point for me personally, but I can't speak for the contributions of everyone involved :)

[Jesse Stern @JesseStern]

Anyone trying to play that #Battlefield6 beta?

Humanity will suffer for generations from the people who believe a body count report from one source within 5 minutes of impact but refuse to believe an in-depth investigation of 150 interviews over 2 months

The @BBCNews gets it’s arse handed to it again. This time incredibly politely by an international law expert who gift wraps the BBC’s arse for them and hands it over with a card saying: “Dear BBC - please find enclosed your arse”

It is in our interest for Israel to destroy Hamas. It takes moral clarity to see Israel must do that, it is the least bad of many bad options. There is humanity in the heroic effort of Blinken, Biden etc. to create time and space to save the same people Hamas uses as shields.

Last night was the worst media fuckup I've ever seen. In terms of the range/seriousness of info gotten wrong, #/prestige/geographic diversity of outlets that fucked up, overall credulousness, real-world impact, the lack of reflection/remorse etc. Scores a 10 in every category

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza.

Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?

[Tyler Rogoway @Aviation_Intel]

Some critical things to keep in mind with this terrible situation, and no, I have no answers to give, just some context:

As we have stated many times over the years, munitions fail. The best munitions on the planet costing millions apiece fail. Rudimentary artillery rockets smuggled over great distances or built out of pipes and other available materials fail. This is a reality of warfare. Full stop.

In Gaza, munitions are stored where Israel has trouble spotting and striking them — in urban buildings and in tunnels. Mistakes and accidental ignitions happen. Munitions even stored improperly can explode. Maybe that is not the case here, but it is a reality of this conflict that must be factored at all times.

Also, Israel bombs targets that it considers as dual use — civilian structures it claims are housing militant capabilities or personnel. That is a fact. Bombing a hospital, especially as POTUS is heading to your country for a high-profile show of support, would be incredibly damaging and illogical. That doesn't mean it is impossible and targeting mistakes and breakdowns in the chain of command happen even with the most capable militaries. So do terrible decisions. That's a fact.

Finally, there are many actors in this conflict all with agendas of their own, some of which are incredibly murky and they will do extreme things to see events unfold according to their needs. That's a fact.

Regardless, this is all another reminder of how brutal this never ending conflict is and how average people pay the price for others' decisions that are out of their immediate control.

But as of now, what exactly happened here and who is responsible is not clear. Evidence will likely change this in the future, especially considering how heavily surveilled that piece of land is, and especially now as the entire region sits on the brink.

I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/

@paulscheer Yes, but also they want more directors to be showrunners

@emilynussbaum If you left anything out, These Truths by Jill LePore does a great job of that
