Four of the fatalities, caused by a missile that fell between two buildings in central Israel, were a 10-year-old boy, a young girl, a 69-year-old woman, and an 80-year-old woman.
⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇱 Summary of the IRGC Statement on the 8th Wave of “Sadeq Promise 3”
The IRGC announced a more powerful wave of missile strikes on Israeli targets, claiming improved tactics disrupted Israeli military command systems and caused defense units to misfire on each other.
They credit the operation to strategies inspired by commanders Bagheri, Salami, and Hajizadeh, and assert that despite Western support for Israel, the missiles struck with high precision.
The IRGC vowed to continue the strikes until the collapse of the Israeli regime.

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.
So if I'm reading this right, there were armed peacekeeping volunteers organized with the event (not necessarily by the protest organizers but they were part of the protest). One of them saw a guy grab an AR-15 from an alley and confronted him. The rifle-weilder raised his rifle, the peacekeeper fired several shots, killing a random person and wounding the rifleman. The rifleman is being charged with the murder because Utah law probably counts anybody dying as the result of a crime to be murder for the person committing (a few states do that). They're currently investigating the peacekeeper.
I'm curious to know more about this peacekeeper business. Were they openly armed? Were they all armed? How big was this group? How were they organized? Presumably the rifleman was trying to start shooting or at least threatening to shoot. If the police weren't sure of that much, they wouldn't have charged him with murder. If the peacekeeper isn't even being arrested, my guess is the police feel very confident about how this went down.
Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that's pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it's always dead when I go to use it.
Needs be removable from the bike easily.
I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.
Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.
It's for a city just to be seen so I don't need 7150 lumens.
I mainly use this rear light. It comes with a bracket so you can mount it to the back of your rear rack. Then you just clip it in. I hate the rubber band lights.
Illuminate your night rides with the ROCKBROS Bicycle Front Headlight RHL800LM. This high-brightness bicycle light provides up to 800 lumens, ensuring excellent visibility and safety.
‘The latest missile batch was extremely precise in its targeting and different from those Iran used previously. Iranian missiles are capable of maneuvering, which complicated air-defense systems’ attempts to intercept them.”
The big taco companies make the majority of their profits from the fillings. That's why they deliberately make it so the fillings spill out when you try to eat it. The fillings are cheap. The shell is just a LOSS LEADER to get you in the door! It's to make you pay more money for more taco fillings, so they can profit, at your expense.
How I got down from the plane in Tirana airport, where they use stairs to get down to the tarmac.
I had to wait until everyone else had deplaned & were whisked away by a bus, then this large specialty lift truck arrived on the other side of the plane from the stairs, elevated up and put over a rickety platform. For someone with acrophobia, it was terrifying. Thankfully, the driver kindly assisted me. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania @disability
View of the rest of the airport lift vehicle, showing two aisle wheelchairs in it. (I can't remember the official name for these.)
Plane aisles are not accessible to regular wheelchairs because the airlines are busy with designs packing people in like sardines. So these are narrower wheelchairs dependent on having an abled air employee push you down the aisle. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania
Just a word about Al Jazeera. They are amazing at covering Gaza and West Bank. Not so good at covering Syria, Hezbollah, Iran. I hear that it's to do with their backer Qatar. Qatar is US compromised. They have their own reasons, no doubt and I hope they're hedging their bets. They recently got closer to Iran. They know that with a direct US/Iran war, they're in the crosshairs. They have the largest US base like 50 miles from Doha. Good luck to them..
i would go further and say they're not so good on palestine either. at least not with reporting on the armed resistance. and i mean that historically. of course its much harder now that they're banned.
@benda Yes. I'm told there are differences between the English language and Arabic language AJ. I don't know much about the Arabic site, I just get the Qassam brigade videos from them, they are uncensured. I checked with the ones on X. If I want to see what the resistance actually says, I go to AbolitionMedia. Do you have other sources?
abolition is a big one for me as well. otherwise, al mayadeen cradle, zeteo, and the indian mainstream publications (for some reason) are much better on reporting facts about the middle east.
and i forgot the biggest, if you're interested specifically in the armed resistance on the ground. the electronic intifada has a guy jon elmer who does some sort of weekly series with video footage and analysis of resistance operations.
Iran's FM stated that the aggression of the Israeli regime against Iranian soil would not have been possible without U.S. support, and that the tweets of the U.S. President are indicative of this involvement.
Je rediffuse ma demande plus largement : vous savez s'il y a une cache secrète quelque part sur Internet où on peut réécouter facilement un épisode de l'émission Eclectik de France Inter diffusé a priori en 2008 ?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interviewed by Fox News’s Brett Baier on June 15. He was asked about the Israeli reports that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon, which contradicted what DNI Tulsu Gabbard told the Congress in March.
Nicht nur der Journalismus, auch die Social Media Warrior tragen erheblich zu dieser Verrohung bei.

»#Israel’s greatest threat isn’t Iran or Hamas, but its own #hubris. A people whose entire existence depends solely on military might is destined to end up in the darkest corners of destruction, and ultimately, in defeat. « 972mag.com/israels-greatest-th…
»Over the years, the Israeli public has grown convinced that it can exist in this region while harboring deep contempt for its neighbors — engaging in murderous rampages against anyone, whenever and however it pleases, relying solely on brute force. For nearly 80 years, “total victory” has been just around the corner: just defeat the Palestinians, eliminate Hamas, crush Lebanon, destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities — and paradise will be ours.«
»But for nearly 80 years, these so-called “victories” have proven Pyrrhic. Each one digs Israel into a deeper pit of isolation, threat, and hatred. The Nakba of 1948 created the refugee crisis that refuses to go away and laid the foundation for the apartheid regime. The 1967 victory gave rise to an occupation that continues to fuel Palestinian resistance. The war of October 2023 spiraled into a genocide that turned Israel into a global pariah.«
»The Israeli military — central to this entire process — has become a mindless weapon of mass destruction. It maintains its exalted status among a sedated public through flashy stunts: pagers exploding in men’s pockets at a Lebanese market, or a drone base planted in the heart of an enemy state. And under the command of a genocidal government, it digs itself deeper into wars it has no clue how to exit.«
»For so many years, under the spell of this supposedly all-powerful army, Israeli society convinced itself that it was bulletproof. Total worship of the military on the one hand, and arrogant disdain for regional neighbors on the other, bred the belief that we would never pay a price. Then came October 7, shattering — if only for a moment — the illusion of immunity. «
»But rather than reckon with the significance of that moment, the public surrendered to a campaign of revenge. Because only through slaughter did the world make sense again: Israel kills, Palestinians die. Order restored.«
»That’s why the images of bombed buildings in Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion, Bat Yam, Tel Aviv and Tamra (an Arab city in the Galilee) were so jarring. They were hauntingly similar to the ones we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from Gaza: charred concrete skeletons, plumes of dust, streets buried in rubble and ash, children’s toys clutched by rescue workers. «
»These images delivered a brief rupture in our collective delusion, that we are immune to everything. Civilian casualties on both sides — 13 Israelis and at least 128 Iranians — highlight the human cost of this new front, even if the scale remains a far cry from the devastation routinely inflicted on Gaza. «
»When the Zionist left erupts in celebration over a reckless attack on Iran, it reveals a stubborn attachment to the fantasy that, no matter what we do, or how deeply we alienate ourselves from the region we live in, the army will always protect us. [...] In this sense, the fantasy of immunity granted by the army runs even deeper in the Zionist left than on the right. The right’s answer to its security anxiety is annihilation and ethnic cleansing — that’s its endgame.«
»But the center-left places its faith almost entirely in the army’s supposedly limitless capabilities. Without question, the Jewish center-left in Israel worships the military far more fervently than the right, which treats it merely as a tool to execute its vision of destruction and ethnic cleansing.

Stop using ideological and academic language to address political issues intended for broad public consideration.
Make simple language statements to clearly articulate your points so "everyone" (the vast majority) can understand, not just those with specific education and knowledge.
If you can't do that, then you're insufficiently knowledgeable about your topics, to paraphrase, and shouldn't be pushing your points as being intended for the general public, but just for an elite class, "comrade"

“There’s a lot of things wrong with this country, but one of the few things still right with it is that a man can steer clear of the organized bullshit if he really wants to. It’s a goddamned luxury, and if I were you, I’d take advantage of it while you can.” — Hunter S Thompson
