It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
I genuinely have no words for the horrors coming out of Gaza tonight. I just saw a video of a beheaded baby. This is the systematic slaughter of innocent people, carried out in front of the entire world.
L’HORREUR ABSOLUE.
À Gaza des enfants palestiniens sont déchiquetés par les forces d’occupation israéliennes.
Ne cessez jamais de parler de la Palestine !
It’s becoming so unbearable beyond any human’s comprehension.
People disfigured, disembowelled, and decapitated on Eid Day in Gaza which they should have been celebrating.
How can we genuinely call ourselves human beings? Where is this humanity?
...Added together, they end up as barely passable face lighting. Except, in this case, on the neck. The shirt collar cuts the fill light, creating a little window of top-only light casting that chin shadow. The top edge moves with the collar, the bottom with the talking jaw. /🧵
Luke and Anakin were in their early 20s rescuing pretty women from cool armies. The Mandalorian is cool looking but a 50 year old with no romantic interests fighting against the same guys from the 80s while being a single dad is the most boomer coded story you could think of.
With the announcement that Destiny 2's development is ceasing I think it's important to reiterate that the original Destiny is still very much at risk at being lost forever much like Destiny 2's base game and early expansions.
I can only hope Destiny receives an offline update of some form officially so the game can be preserved forever without dedicated fans having to reverse-engineer the servers themselves (which is still very work-in-progress IIRC).
The first Destiny is the only Destiny game that is a complete experience form start to finish with proper progression, no removed content and a coherent art direction, it needs to be preserved.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
i do find it strange that there’s a very unpopular war and the admin hasn’t paraded the heroic pilot and wso we rescued over a multi day csar where numerous assets were lost. seems strange that they haven’t used them for propaganda purposes to drum up support 🤔
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
