Israel limits entry of baby formula in Gaza as infants die of hunger
lemonde.fr/en/international/arâŠ
While waiting to enter Gaza on a medical aid mission, an American doctor watched Israeli security forces confiscate the cans of powdered baby formula packed in his luggage. The vital product is desperately lacking in the Palestinian enclave, where about 50 children have died of hunger since March.

Un biais cognitif, câest comme un piĂšge dans notre tĂȘte.
Câest quand notre cerveau fait une erreur sans quâon sâen rende compte. Il croit quâil pense bien, mais en fait, il se trompe un peu. Câest comme porter des lunettes qui changent un peu la rĂ©alitĂ© : on voit les choses dâune façon spĂ©ciale, mais pas toujours juste
đ§ 1. Biais de confirmation
Câest quand tu penses quâune chose est vraie, et tu cherches seulement ce qui te donne raison.
đ Exemple :
Tu dis : âLe jus de pomme, câest le meilleur !â
Alors tu Ă©coutes seulement les copains qui disent âOui, moi aussi jâadore !â
Mais tu ignores ceux qui prĂ©fĂšrent le jus dâorange.

đ§ 2. Effet de groupe (ou biais de conformitĂ©)
Câest quand tu fais comme tout le monde, mĂȘme si ce nâest pas ce que tu veux vraiment.
đ Exemple :
Tu veux dessiner un chien, mais tous les autres dessinent des chats.
Alors tu dessines un chat aussi, juste pour ĂȘtre comme eux.

đ 3. Biais dâancrage
Câest quand la premiĂšre chose quâon te dit influence ce que tu crois, mĂȘme si ce nâest pas logique.
đ Exemple :
On te dit : âCe bonbon coĂ»te 10 dinars !â
Puis on te dit : âMais je te le fais Ă 5 dinars, câest une super affaire !â
Tu crois que câest pas cher⊠alors quâun bonbon de 5 dinars, câest dĂ©jĂ beaucoup !

Frustrated by Day 2âs failures, Lee planned a massive assault on the Union center, led by Longstreet, with Pickettâs fresh division, while Ewell renewed attacks on Culpâs Hill and Stuartâs cavalry probed the Union lines to the rear. Both commanders braced for a decisive confrontation under the sweltering July heat.
At 4:00 AM, Union XII Corps, under Brig. Gen. George S. Greene, launched a counterattack to reclaim Culpâs Hill trenches lost to Johnsonâs Confederates on July 2nd.
After hours of mounted and dismounted fighting, and about 500 casualties, Stuartâs advance was halted. Securing Meadeâs rear and foiling the Confederate flanking maneuver.
Late on July 3, Union cavalry under Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, part of Kilpatrickâs division, launched a doomed charge against Longstreetâs right flank south of Big Round Top. Ordered to disrupt Confederate lines, Farnsworthâs 300 troopers faced Lawâs infantry and artillery across rocky terrain.
The artillery duel, one of the warâs largest, set the stage for Leeâs climactic assault, as both sides braced for the decisive moment, Pickettâs Charge.
At 3:00 PM, 12,500 ConfederatesâPickettâs, Pettigrewâs, and Trimbleâs divisionsâemerged from Seminary Ridge for Pickettâs Charge. Advancing a mile across open fields, they faced a storm of Union artillery from Cemetery Ridge, led by Lt. Alonzo Cushingâs battery.
Leeâs army, with 28,000 losses, would retreat the next day, July 4th. Meade, with 23,000 casualties, did not pursue, sparking debate. Critics, including Lincoln, argued he missed a chance to crush Lee. Defenders cite Meadeâs exhausted troops, low supplies, and Leeâs still-formidable army, arguing caution preserved the victory.
Gettysburg shifted the warâs tide, but Meadeâs restraint, praised by some and scorned by others, left the Confederacyâs in tact dragging the war on for two more years.

You can't get any more "impartial" than the forensic methodology of this documentary, but we've gotten to the point where any objectivity when it comes to Israel is considered "partiality" against them.
At least Channel 4 is airing the documentary, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, if my time zone calculations are correct, in about half an hour from now?

'More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davie, complaining that the Corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel.
It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals: one of them was yours truly. The BBC employees, as you would expect, are all anonymous, because otherwise they would face grave consequences to their careers.
The letter says:
Weâre writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary âGaza: Medics Under Fireâ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting âwithout fear or favourâ when it comes to Israel.
It goes on to note that the decision not to broadcast the investigation was taken by BBC management despite the content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy, which it says âAppears to be a political decisionâ, adding that the BBC response shows the organisation âis crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.â'

An Open Letter to BBC Management, Written by BBC Journalists and Signed by Media Industry Professionals
A message to the BBC Director General, the Board of Governors and our BBC Colleagues.
Weâre writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary âGaza: Medics Under Fireâ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting âwithout fear or favourâ when it comes to Israel.
We understand that a decision not to broadcast the investigation has been taken by senior BBC management despite the filmâs content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy. This appears to be a political decision and is not reflective of the journalism in the film. A recent statement from the BBC said broadcasting the film ârisked creating the perception of partiality".This illustrates precisely what many of us have experienced first hand: an organisation that is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.
We are not asking the BBC to take a side. We are asking to be allowed to do our jobs in delivering facts transparently and with due context. For many of us, our efforts have been frustrated by opaque decisions made at senior levels of the BBC without discussion or explanation. Our failures impact audiences. As an organisation we have not offered any significant analysis of the UK government's involvement in the war on Palestinians. We have failed to report on weapons sales or their legal implications. These stories have instead been broken by the BBCâs competitors.
This hasnât happened by accident, rather by design. Much of the BBCâs coverage in this area is defined by anti-Palestinian racism. The inconsistent manner in which guidance is applied draws into focus the role of Sir Robbie Gibb, on the BBC Board and BBCâs Editorial Standards Committee. We are concerned that an individual with close ties to the Jewish Chronicle, an outlet that has repeatedly published anti-Palestinian and often racist content, has a say in the BBC's editorial decisions in any capacity, including the decision not to broadcast âGaza: Medics Under Fireâ.
This conflict of interest highlights a double standard for BBC content makers who have themselves experienced censorship in the name of âimpartialityâ. In some instances staff have been accused of having an agenda because they have posted news articles critical of the Israeli government on their social media. By comparison, Gibb remains in an influential post with little transparency regarding his decisions despite his ideological leanings being well known. We can no longer ask license fee payers to overlook Gibbsâ ideological allegiances.
Since October 2023 it has become increasingly clear to our audiences that the BBCâs reporting on Israel / Palestine falls short of our own editorial standards. There is a gulf between the BBCâs coverage of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank and what our audiences can see is happening via multiple credible sources including human rights organisations, staff at the UN and journalists on the ground. Whilst there has been some exceptional content from some areas of the BBC (within documentary and from some individual correspondents for example), news in particular has failed to report the reality and the context of the war on Palestinians. All too often it has felt that the BBC has been performing PR for the Israeli government and military. This should be a cause of great shame and concern for everyone at the BBC.
Despite these failings, there has been a major shift within public discourse in recent months. Increasingly the scale of Israel's crimes against the Palestinians are being understood by the public as well as many of our parliamentarians. The BBCâs editorial decisions seem increasingly out of step with reality. We have been forced to conclude that decisions are made to fit a political agenda rather than serve the needs of audiences. As industry insiders and as BBC staff, we have experienced this first hand. The issue has become even more urgent with recent escalations in the region. Again, BBC coverage has appeared to downplay Israel's role, reinforcing an âIsrael firstâ framing that compromises our credibility.
We, the undersigned BBC staff, freelancers and industry figures are extremely concerned that the BBCâs reporting on Israel and Palestine continues to fall short of the standards our audiences expect. We believe the role of Robbie Gibb, both on the Board, and as part of the Editorial Standards Committee, is untenable. We call on the BBC to do better for our audiences and recommit to our values of impartiality, honesty and reporting without fear or favour.
Governments should NOT be allowed to appoint the directors of out our publicly funded state media service. This is the UK, not fucking Russia or North Korea.

In a world flooded with bad newsâconflict, crisis, scandalâsomething as simple as a good story can feel like a breath of fresh air. But good news isnât just a mood booster. Itâs a powerful force. Spreading positive stories doesnât just lift spiritsâit builds trust, strengthens communities, and drives real business value.
Negativity may dominate headlines, but research consistently shows that people want uplifting stories. When someone shares a story about a local business doing something generous, a small act of kindness, or a breakthrough solution to a common problem, it resonates. It sticks. In fact, positive stories often get shared more widely than doom-and-gloom pieces, especially on social media.
Why? Because people crave hope. They want something to believe in. That makes good news not just nice to haveâit makes it a smart communication strategy.
For businesses, positive press can do what expensive ads never could: build credibility and connection. People donât remember banner adsâthey remember stories. A company that launches a community initiative, supports a cause, or innovates to solve a problem isnât just another seller in the market. It becomes a brand people want to root for.
And here's where most businesses miss the mark. They wait for the media to find their story instead of telling it themselves.
One of the smartest moves a brand can make is to control its own narrative. Waiting for a journalist to call rarely works, and hiring a traditional PR firm can run thousands of dollars per monthâout of reach for small businesses, startups, nonprofits, or solo entrepreneurs.
Thatâs where online press release distribution platforms come in. They empower anyoneâfrom small business owners to local community leadersâto share their good news with the world.
For those looking for an affordable and effective way to spread good news, PR News Releaser stands out. Itâs a streamlined, easy-to-use platform designed to help people and businesses get their news in front of a wider audienceâwithout the bloated costs or gatekeeping of traditional PR.
Whether youâre launching a new product, announcing a charitable partnership, or celebrating a milestone, PR News Releaser offers press release distribution services that get your message published across a network of relevant sites and indexed by search engines like Google and Bing.
This isnât just about pressâitâs about visibility. A well-written release on the right platform can boost SEO, increase traffic, and build momentum for whatever youâre working on. And unlike expensive PR agencies, this service is built to be accessibleâeven for small budgets.
Consider the ripple effect of one good story. A local bakery starts giving away free loaves of bread to low-income families and shares that initiative through a press release. That story gets picked up by local blogs, then shared on social media, and soon, customers are lining up to support the bakeryânot just because the bread is good, but because they believe in the people behind it.
This isnât a fluke. Itâs a formula: good action, well told, broadly shared. And PR News Releaser helps make that happen by putting the tools of publicity into the hands of everyday peopleânot just marketing departments with massive budgets.
Good news has another overlooked power: it makes people feel connected. In an era of division, fear, and isolation, positive stories can unite us. A press release highlighting a collaboration between two local businesses, for example, isnât just a promotional tool. Itâs a message: weâre stronger together.
Businesses and individuals that share positive news donât just win attentionâthey win trust. And trust is the currency of long-term success.
You donât have to be a celebrity, influencer, or Fortune 500 company to tell your story. If youâve done something worth sharingâif youâve helped someone, made something better, or even just taken a small step in the right directionâshare it. Shine a light on it.
Positive news matters. It shapes perception. It influences behavior. It creates opportunity. And in a world thatâs often too loud with bad news, one good story can go a long way.
So, the next time something good happens in your business, your nonprofit, your neighborhoodâdonât keep it to yourself. Publish it. Promote it. Let it spread.
Platforms like PR News Releaser make that easier and more affordable than ever. Because good news deserves to be heardâand now, it finally can be.

Ces parasites qui coĂ»tent un pognon de dingue Ă l'Ătat.
C'est l'article économique le plus ahurissant que vous lirez cette année. Il revient sur les soixante dix auditions menées par le sénateur communiste Fabien Gay et son collÚgue LR Olivier Rietmann avec des grands patrons pour comprendre l'utilité des dizaines de milliards versés chaque année aux grandes entreprises. Réponse aprÚs tant de temps ? On en sait rien, on ne sait pas combien, on ne sait pas à quoi ça sert.
Les montants planchers de ces aides sont à 88 milliards (!!!) par an, mais certaines estimations vont au delà du double. Oui, oui, 200 milliards alloués chaque année aux grands groupes (+450 millions CA) et aucun d'entre eux n'a été foutu de dire à quoi cela sert à part la langue d'une pauvreté infinie de la start up nation en levée de fonds : "assurer la compétitivité", "financer l'excellence", "soutenir l'export" bla bla bla... Quand Fabien Gay montre à Alexandre Bompard les slides que ce dernier, chantre autoproclamée de la transparence, cachent au public, le patron tousse. On voit une corrélation entre le résultat net de la boßte, les dividendes versés aux actionnaires et les aides publiques allouées. "Est-ce que l'argent public a servi à rémunérer les actionnaires ?" une caravane d'anges passe....
CrĂ©dit impĂŽt recherche bidon, financement des licenciements, du train de vie, financement des dividendes, ces 100 ou 200 milliards sont investis non pas en pure perte, mais trĂšs grandement quand mĂȘme. Les lecteurices comme moi de l'Ă©conomiste anne-laure Delatte le savait, mais lĂ ce sont les chiffres de Bercy, rendus publics, pas contestĂ©s par les patrons (ils contestent l'utilitĂ©, pas les montants...). Et c'est aberrant.
Qui a déjà dirigé une association ou une structure publique sait qu'on doit rendre des comptes sur chaque ligne budgétaire, qu'on peut vous faire suer pendant des heures pour 10 000 euros avec le soupçon que vous vous soyez acheté un écran plat ou parti en voyage. Là , on les prend la main dans le pot de confiture avec deux fois le budget de l'éducation nationale (82 milliards....) utilisés principalement pour enrichir des rentiers oisifs qui investiront ce pognon dans des projets écocidaires ou en rachetant des immeubles pour aggraver la crise du logement.

Ancient Egyptian society flourished for millennia, reaching its peak during the Dynastic Period (approximately 3150â30âbce). However, owing to poor DNA preservation, questions about regional interconnectivity over time have not been addressed because whole-genome sequencing has not yet been possible. Here we sequenced a 2Ă coverage whole genome from an adult male Egyptian excavated at Nuwayrat (Nuerat, ÙÙÙ۱ۧŰȘ). Radiocarbon dated to 2855â2570âcal. bce, he lived a few centuries after Egyptian unification, bridging the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods. The body was interred in a ceramic pot within a rock-cut tomb1, potentially contributing to the DNA preservation. Most of his genome is best represented by North African Neolithic ancestry, among available sources at present. Yet approximately 20% of his genetic ancestry can be traced to genomes representing the eastern Fertile Crescent, including Mesopotamia and surrounding regions. This genetic affinity is similar to the ancestry appearing in Anatolia and the Levant during the Neolithic and Bronze Age2,3,4,5. Although more genomes are needed to fully understand the genomic diversity of early Egyptians, our results indicate that contacts between Egypt and the eastern Fertile Crescent were not limited to objects and imagery (such as domesticated animals and plants, as well as writing systems)6,7,8,9 but also encompassed human migration.

Elon Musk is a highly intelligent man.
He knows humanity cannot become a Kardeshev Type I (and certainly not a Kardeshev Type II) species under a high time preference fiat monetary system. A low time preference sound money system is required.
Elon is thinking about the next 100, 500, and 1000+ years. He knows there is only one money that will enable humanity to reach its full potential both today and long after he is gone: Bitcoin.
Gold won't work as money for a spacefaring people for many obvious reasons, not least of which is the fact that gold is extremely plentiful in space. Additionally, gold failed as money for humanity when we were earthbound. Gold is extremely useful, but it is bad money compared to bitcoin.
Gold was money for humanity's low-tech epoch. Bitcoin is money for humanity's high-tech epoch. Gold is the past, fiat is an unfortunate blip in the present, and Bitcoin is the future.
Elon is one of the smartest people on the planet. He knows this. He knows Bitcoin is absolutely finite. 21M forever. He is the richest man in the world. He wants to preserve that wealth for many generations to ensure his dreams become reality long after he is gone. Gold and fiat do not allow this. But with Bitcoin, he can create time-locked vaults in cyberspace that open after specific amounts of time have passed. This ensures his companies/initiatives/descendants will always be extremely well funded, but will not be able to simply waste all his wealth as soon as he is gone.
We know both Elon and his companies own bitcoin, but lately people are wondering why he never publicly talks about it. In fact, he almost seems to deliberately avoid opportunities to talk about bitcoin... Why?
Because Elon knows this is a race, and the winners of this race will cement their economic power for generations. Elon knows that, as the man with the biggest megaphone in the world, if he comes out with a full throated endorsement of bitcoin, then the race accelerates exponentially...
Elon wants to take humanity to the stars. This is only possible with Bitcoin because Bitcoin makes long-term thinking possible on a planetary (and interplanetary) scale. Bitcoin fixes the broken incentives of the fiat system which mortgage humanity's future to fund its decadent present.
Elon is going to acquire as much bitcoin as he possibly can to ensure his vision for the future of humanity as a spacefaring species is realized.
tl;dr -- you should not be suprised if it turns out that Elon has been quietly stacking an insane amount of bitcoin.
