Almost every open source intel and forensics analyst I follow (and in most cases have for years) says the weight of evidence points AWAY from an Israeli attack on the Gaza hospital. It points to an errant rocket launch from within Gaza. https://t.co/3zsd8qbf8x via @TPM
2023 study: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults."
Among the people with whom there is no contact after the Hamas attack is Alex Dancyg. He has likely been abducted, and we hope that he is still alive.
We know him well. He is an upright man, a man of truth and great goodness. A man of justice, grace and generosity (Quran 60:90). He devoted himself to teaching how the evil, perverse, and godless system of Nazi Germany could destroy good, peaceful, and innocent people. He is close to our hearts.
We appeal for his release (3:133-134) to anyone who can influence it (59:9). Fighting against what is perceived as evil cannot lead to even greater evil. The innocent and righteous have the right to live in harmony and peace. This principle applies to everyone (41:43), including Alex Dancyg, who, through his teachings, bears witness to the innocence and righteousness of unfairly treated victims.
We all must seek peaceful solutions, particularly in a land that has witnessed great things and deeply unworthy things. We cannot become the source of ever greater evil.

@VoxPrudentia Post-COVID, I drive/fly up 48 hrs in advance and stay within walking distance. Flights have been too unreliable and traffic too unpredictable. I acknowledge that I am lucky to have clients with budgets that allow this— but it saves me a lot of anxiety.
The @washingtonpost has a feature today where you can compare life expectancy in your state with other states & countries. Tennessee barely edging out Kyrgyzstan—where average annual income is roughly $1,100.
Dying earlier than in 45 states & seemingly all developed nations.
Although I don’t like the idea, I’m also smart enough not take on conlaw expert Prof. Segall on court packing. I do wish the Senate would timely approve all appointees (cabinet or judge) regardless of party unless there’s a major issue (national security or not remotely qualified).
Important to remember that U.S. alliances and partnerships underpin the rules-based international order. Weaken the U.S. and you destabilize that order, opening the door for dictators with imperial ambitions. Everywhere.
@Lmaxt@CanPanicNow This! This is how I built my career. Now I spend a good portion of my time traveling and working remotely from beaches in the Caribbean-note profile pic.
In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.
The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers.
Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment to the city of @FishersIN.
