Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.
As of May, 19 months into the war, Israeli intelligence officials listed 8,900 named fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as dead or “probably dead”, a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has found.
At that time 53,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, according to health authorities in Gaza, a toll that included combatants and civilians. Fighters named in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians.
BBC | Many of #Israel 's allies have condemned its plan, with French President Emmanuel Macron warning on Wednesday that it "can only lead to disaster for both peoples and risks plunging the entire region into a cycle of permanent war".
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) meanwhile said further displacement and an intensification of hostilities "risk worsening an already catastrophic situation" for #Gaza 's 2.1 million population.

@colo_lee I live in New Hampshire. Up here, it's Alabama of the north. Except the food is nowhere near as good. The town I live in is known for chicken tenders.
A month ago, we were hiking in the Tetons. Waiting for a shuttle, chatting w/ folks in line. Guys in front of us were from PA & NJ, recently moved to CO. When they found out my partner was from Scranton PA, one asked "don't you miss the food!" We looked at each other in horror and said "No!" The guy went on to say that there is no good bread in CO and he just wishes he was back east. We couldn't even manage to voice the WTF.
It's true, there are great restaurants. And I cook for myself. In the aggregate, the normal appears to be boring and typical stuff you can get anywhere else.
Perhaps because only certain ingredients are reliably available throughout the year, or perhaps business owners are chasing market trends.
@trabex I have only gotten gas at Sheetz, never the food.
But, as someone who has spent a lot of time in #GratefulDead circles, I've always been struck by the theme music singing out "Sheets! Sheets!" while I'm pumping gas ...
western US. Yes. It's basically mayo with some soured dairy added. So, what's not to like? Dairy, fat, a little sour. But, on salad? Bottom of the list. It's ok as something to dip fried food in, but there needs to be also be a more interesting dip.
I've tried ranch dressing. It's ... meh. Kinda bland. Not among my favorites. Yeah, it's got some tang, but lots of things are tangy. It's not a patch on a good blue cheese dressing, or Russian/Thousand Island. The only two I'd bother keeping in my fridge are blue cheese and Russian.
(Supposedly Russian and Thousand Island are distinct things, but honestly I doubt I could tell you which was which in a blind taste test.)
Manitoba, Canada. We have it here, it's fine. I'm more a vinegary slaw guy so I don't eat it much, but it does not offend me, especially on a chicken sammich.
I am from Los Angeles. I have tried ranch dressing. Probably unusual for an American: I don’t hate it but I’m not a fan.
The only time I ever actively wanted ranch was in a non-traditional form—with lots of dill—on a salad that’s no longer on the menu at Gordon Ramsay’s pub in Caesars Palace. With lardons, pickled onions, radishes and croutons. A really perfect dish.
I’m from Finland, and I have not tried actual ranch dressing. We have ranch flavored dip mix, which you mix with sour cream, but I have no idea if it is like ranch dressing should be. My supervisor thinks it’s sour cream and relish 😂
Massachusetts Yes Yuck. But I don’t like most condiments. I was the kid who had to wait off to the side at McDonald’s in the 70s as they prepared my plain burger instead of accepting all the stuff automatically slathered on.
NJ, yes; it's a crime against humanity for something that bland to be considered a condiment. Spouse, PA, put it on steak and salads when I met him. He also puts hot sauce on everything so the ranch thing baffles me. He will occasionally use ranch & it disappoints him like the McRib sandwich does
UK. Born and raised near Manchester (aka 'oop north'). Moved around England and Wales for 50 years. Never tried ranch dressing. In fact never even seen it though I suspect it's available in US-themed catering outlets. (I refuse to call a place that doesn't have tables, chairs, crockery, metal cutlery, and table service, a restaurant).
I don't usually answer such provocative questions....
Northern New York State...almost Canada.
Yes, I've tried ranch dressing.
I feel ranch dressing has its place. It's not my first choice, but if I see it on the menu as their "house dressing" I will try it, because I like it made, instead of from a bottle.
I'm from the US, I have tried ranch dressing, I prefer a nice vinaigrette.
I recently shipped, at their request, a dozen packets of powdered ranch dressing to my German friend in Munich because they can't find it there and they love it for dips.
> How do you feel about ranch dressing? Ok as veggie dip or to dip pizza crusts. Many other dressings I prefer but in a pinch it's ok. Fav dressings: Red Lobster blue cheese, Olive Garden house salad, grew up on 1000 Island, Catalina is good.
I was born in Indiana, raised in St. Louis, Omaha, and Kansas City. I find ranch dressing to be an utterly vile, food-ruining subtance.
My excuse is that my parents are not Midwesterners. My father is from rural Oklahoma and my mother is from Mobile, Alabama. I never saw ranch dressing outside of Hidden Valley TV commercials until I moved to Cleveland for college.
I use freshly made Vinaigrette/French dressing on my salad. (Olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar/wine vinegar). takes literally 20 seconds to make.
I'm from the East Midlands, England. I have tried what purported to be ranch dressing at American-style diners here and didn't dislike it...but didn't love it either.
I’m from Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Asking if I’ve tried ranch dressing is like asking if I’ve tried air. I use ranch instead of ketchup for french fries.
I like it but don’t eat it much anymore except maybe as a dip for fries. I ate a lot of it growing up on salad bar salads. My favorite application was as a dip for fried zucchini.
Greenbelt, MD and I didn't have ranch dressing until.... oh, I think I *saw* it in college. That said, parents were not going to bring in overprocessed messy stuff into the house.
UK here, definitely tried it, or whatever the UK version is without knowing how it compares with US fare, can't remember what it tasted like tbh or when I had it exactly. Wouldn't avoid but wouldn't actively seek it out.
1. All over the place. Born in PVD. Then Germany, then Chicago then Minnesota then *back* to PVD then London then upstate NY, then NYC, then Florida, now *back* in PVD.
2. Yeah dude
3. Pretty rad. More of a blue cheese fan if it comes to wings, but ranch is pretty stellar
From: Born in South Dakota (yes, we), start kindergarten in a central Ontario mining town, and have been in Minnesota since 1990 (excluding 3 months in central Kansas I prefer not to talk about).
Yes, I’ve tried ranch dressing and have some in my fridge right now. I neither love it or hate it, but I don’t dislike it. I just didn’t grow up with it. I’m fine with it on a salad, but I think it’s better as a dip for raw carrots, cucumbers, etc.
For the typical salad/veggies purposes I'm not a fan. I like it when paired with savory and spicy, but at the same time if I'm, say, in the mood for ranch with wings (my favorite use for it), I'll actively try to get something a fair bit spicier than usual to make sure it's not lost in the sauce but appropriately contrasting.
I have tried ranch dressing once, we were in Canada. It obviously didn't set my world ablaze because I can't remember what it tastes like. I seem to remember my thoughts being 'like a decaffeinated salad cream'
Feel about it? I didn't even remember anytime in the last twenty six years until this toot!
PA, I grew up with it and like it, but also love blue cheese. They have very different uses though. If someone serves ranch dressing with buffalo wings I have a near heart attack, that needs to be blue cheese, as does a wedge salad with bacon. I make my own ranch as a dip for vegetables and on a spcific chicken salad. Them's the rules lol
Slovakia, EU. I think we have it here now, but never tried it. But looking at the diy recipes I've made something similar but not for salads, at least with the amount of meat it's not considered salad lol.
I'm from Ireland. I've tried it. I don't love it. Probably wouldn't choose it as a salad dressing but I'd eat it. I'm happy enough to dip spicy wings in it, though.
Where are you from? <in fake Scottish accent> Lots of places (but born in Texas) Have you tried ranch dressing? Yes. And it’s pronounced “rainch.” How do you feel about ranch dressing? Good for dipping raw veggies. Otherwise unenthused.
I'm from the Bay area, I grew up with hidden valley ranch as a staple in my diet and when I realized I was lactose intolerant, struggled to find a dairy free ranch I liked until I found hidden valley was making a plant based version of theirs.
Fellow Missourian here, and I am ambivalent regarding ranch in its dressing form, but wholeheartedly enthusiastic about the dry seasoning. It's great on popcorn, meats, vegetables and by the spoonful, right from the can.
1. California 2. Yes 3. I like it! But I’m noticing ppl seem to be making an odd mistake and putting it on salads? It is for sure a dip/spread in my mind. Tangy & fatty, what’s not to like?
I’m in Oregon. I used to have Bleu Cheese dressing all the time and somehow Ranch took over. It’s ok. I’d rather have honey-mustard or Thousand Island. I can make my own Thousand Island which is even better.

"Mr. Tesla": Der Wechsel von Brandenburgs Ex-Wirtschaftsminister Steinbach zur Tesla-Kanzlei CMS ist schon an sich problematisch. Doch das Verhalten der Landesregierung in der Sache ist es mindestens ebenso. Gut, dass @fragdenstaat.de jetzt Klage eingereicht hat!
Hintergrund der Klage ist die Weigerung der Potsdamer Staatskanzlei, klare Auskünfte dazu zu geben, wie sie solche Seitenwechsel von ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Landesregierung prüft und warum sie im Fall Steinbach erst grünes Licht gab, dann aber doch eine vorläufige Untersagung aussprach.
Brandenburg hat ein Gesetz, das regelt, wie mit Interessenkonflikten umgegangen wird, die beim Wechsel aus Regierungsämtern zu Unternehmen und Verbänden bestehen könnten. Bis zu 2 Jahre kann die Landesregierung die Aufnahme neuer Tätigkeiten untersagen, wenn dies im Konflikt mit öffentlichen Interessen steht.
Doch die Anwendung dieses Gesetzes erscheint in Brandenburg äußerst merkwürdig. Das Gesetz sieht ein Extra-Gremium vor, das Wechsel prüfen und Empfehlungen aussprechen soll, ob der Wechsel OK ist, unter Auflagen genehmigt wird oder eine Abkühlphase gelten soll.
ieses Gremium gibt es auch, doch die Potsdamer Staatskanzlei scheint sich eine Art Vorprüfungs-Sonderrecht herauszunehmen, welche Fälle es dem Gremium überhaupt vorlegt. Das entkernt Sinn und Zweck der Regelung, so geht es nicht!

A New York appellate court threw out the half-billion-dollar penalty in the civil fraud case against President Trump and others on Thursday, ruling that the fine was "excessive."
One of the judges on the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department wrote that the penalty, known as a disgorgement, against Mr. Trump, two of his sons and other executives and their company was "an excessive fine barred by the Eighth Amendment."
A New York appellate court threw out the $527 million penalty in the civil fraud case against President Trump and others on Thursday, ruling that the fine was "excessive."
In February 2024, a New York judge ordered Mr. Trump and his codefendants to pay the state nearly $364 million in "ill-gotten gains" and millions more in interest dating back years, a total that has since ballooned to about $527 million. Judge Arthur Engoron's judgment left Mr. Trump on the hook for nearly 98% of the total.
The New York attorney general can appeal Thursday's decision to the state's highest court.
Judge Arthur Engorn originally imposed a $355 million penalty as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James's civil fraud case against the then-presidential candidate.

In this blog post, we’ll detail how attackers can exploit image scaling on Gemini CLI, Vertex AI Studio, Gemini’s web and API interfaces, Google Assistant, Genspark, and other production AI systems.
AI simply fills the void created by capitalist relations that erode human connection, breeding alienation that leaves people isolated, adrift, and emotionally starved.
It’s a hollowed-out shell of communal life, where AI chatbots have become digital opioids providing addictive facsimiles of human relationships. These are symptoms of societal collapse, where atomization drives the masses to seek solace in algorithms.
