Ravens fans aren't imagining it -

Since 2018, Baltimore has a top-5 defense over the whole game and the worst defense in football in the 4th quarter of a one-score game.

The Ravens are in their own corner

Those who thought it was Harbaugh - sorry

BOMBSHELL: Motaz Azaiza admits he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten in the streets of Gaza on October 7, and deliberately never published it, to protect the identities of the people beating them.

He did post other October 7 footage that day, celebrating the attack. He quietly deleted it later.

Azaiza is an influential "photojournalist" from Ghazza. TIME named him to the TIME 100. He was nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. CNN, the Guardian and Sky all interviewed him.

Ms. Rachel Griffin-Accurso, who has 16 million subscribers, made a video for preschoolers introducing "my friend Motaz." She deleted it later.

Two weeks ago, he did a 3 hour and 38 minute interview in Arabic.

He made a number of EXTRAORDINARY admissions.

A few key revelations related to Gaza coverage in last few days:

- Almost all of the media in Gaza were in a Hamas-run WhatsApp group that dictated and coordinated coverage. Including contributors to major western news organizations.

- Al Jazeera fired 24 of their media members from Gaza for direct ties to terror groups

- Admission that anyone in Gaza who reported anything contrary to Hamas claims was likely to be killed by Hamas.

Almost all of the information that came out of Gaza was part of a coordinated disinformation campaign by the very people who started the war.

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

For years, Israel was accused of “targeting journalists” in Gaza. Now Al Jazeera has fired 24 Gaza-based staff amid a US lawsuit alleging ties and support by the Qatari network to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad

I envy the director who called his own country's army something worse than any enemy ever called it, and then drove home.

I envy that he signed his name to it.

I envy that his face is on the poster.

I envy that the state's revenge was a press release.

I envy that the ministers who despise him can only threaten his funding.

I envy that his worst punishment is being hated loudly by people with keyboards.

I envy that Iranian propaganda spends millions and never reaches the accusation he made himself, unpaid, on camera.

I envy that he will be invited to debate his critics on television.

I envy that his critics want to argue with him at all.

I envy that his mother watched the ceremony from her living room.

I envy that his mother has a living room.

I envy him because forty minutes past the last checkpoint, outside his country and outside his law, the review arrives at night, on motorcycles.

I envy him because out there, men take you out in your underwear so the street remembers it.

I envy him because an hour from his editing room, but under a different flag, a film like that ends on a rooftop, with the director going over the edge.

I envy him because in that place, the director own people will drag the body through the market, so the next director understands the notes.

I envy him because 50 kilometers from the theater that screened his film, and past the border of everything he is accused of, they shoot the knees first, so the neighborhood hears the whole verdict.

I envy him because there, the sentence includes your brothers.

I envy him because there, the sentence includes the house your father built.

I envy him because there, a rumor that you spoke to a foreign journalist is the entire trial.

I envy him because there, nobody cuts your budget, they cut you.

I envy that the distance between his applause and that rooftop is shorter than his commute, and that no one confuses the two jurisdictions.

I envy that he says all of it from inside the country he is accusing.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

This feels like a good moment to remember that Ireland got rich not by producing much or innovating anything, but mostly by becoming one of the world's biggest tax havens -- by enabling large companies from other nations to hide their tax revenues from their home nations.

Apple, Microsoft and Google have routed many hundreds of billions of dollars through Ireland to shelter their profits.

Israel, in contrast, got rich by innovating at a colossal scale. It spends 6% of its GDP on R&D, the highest of any nation on Earth. 10% of its workforce works in tech.

That's why those same Apple, Microsoft and Google all built massive R&D centers in Israel, alongside 500 other multinationals. The defense tech is famous, but Israel is also a global powerhouse in water and agriculture. And it draws 10% of global deep-tech investment in medical devices and food R&D.

So a tax-cheat nation that got rich by impoverishing others now refuses a safety system meant to land planes safely in the fog from a nation that actually produces new and useful things for the world.

It's one thing not to buy arms, or to exact political costs for a war you hate. This isn't that. This is just sanctimonious narcissism.

Take the fog safety system, you preening tax-cheats. We promise to look the other way.
