Israel just killed another Lebanese journalist, Amal Khalil — then reportedly bombed rescue workers trying to help her.

A detailed, symbolic painting inspired by the movie "Pulp Fiction," featuring Samuel L. Jackson's character depicted as a Jesus-like figure with a glowing halo and radiant hands, blessing a sick man lying in a hospital bed. Surrounding them are other characters from the film—John Travolta and Uma Thurman—both praying, and a nurse and another man watching solemnly. Above, three cherubic angels with the faces of other "Pulp Fiction" characters float in the sky. The background includes iconic American symbols such as the U.S. Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, an American flag, flying bald eagles, military jets, and fireworks, blending religious imagery with patriotic and cinematic elements.
This is great! 😂
It can be done, and IMO it should be.
Cows go back to the barn, and chickens come home to roost.

From Twitter: Beth Bourne posted a screenshot of an SPLC Hatewatch article about bomb threats to our library, schools, and teachers after Libs of TikTok amplified the story that Bourne’s anti-trans event at our public library was shut down for violating the library’s policies on misgendering patrons. She wrote, “The SPLC blamed me (and @LibsOfTikTok) for a series of school bomb threats in Aug-Sept 2023 in Davis, California. “I’m willing to bet my house that the bomb threats were false flags orchestrated by the SPLC.”
Beth Bourne is our local Mom for Liberty, and Harmeet Dhillon, currently Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, is her pro-bono lawyer.
When the story about SPLC being investigated broke, I suspected Dhillon’s influence.
Now I suspect stronger:

Good article; I usually read anything from this magazine in print that's long or longish. I retain more that way, IMO. However, this article is probably readable on screen even for me :^)
Absolutely ridiculous top line figure; yes, they need to invest in and integrate drones into our defense. But heaven forbid that they should cut literally anything else!
If Democrats retake control of Congress this fall, they may succeed in quickly passing legislation banning the president and his family from profiting off a shady token that has deeply disturbed government ethicists.

It isn't *bad* to lower fares, but other factors have greater impact.
"[T]he ease with which domestic abusers in the US can get their hands on guns means that these already traumatic situations can easily turn deadly. More than half of female homicide victims in the US are killed by a man they know."

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.
This is a damning data point as we try to estimate if Warsh would withstand political pressure from Trump.
