@WTOP I miss the more elaborate indoor displays.

The “Seasons Greetings” holiday display is up now at the US Botanic Garden. wtop.com/gallery/holida…

@dieworkwear Part of it is packaging too. There’s the confusing labeling practices in the US about “best by” dates. And the food often comes in huge portions compared to what I saw abroad.

I recently read that the average US family throws away 1/3rd of their food—$1,500 a year in produce alone—because stuff goes bad. I assume this is a distinction between having to drive to the grocery store and being able to walk and buy just what you need for a couple of days.

you dont see beautiful scenes like this anymore

This is a common scam, but it's gonna get much worse when AI can copy your voice exactly.

In about 3 weeks it will become clear that the Bin Laden TikTok drama was a nothing burger, that the examples obsessed over were cherry picked, and that 99% of the users over there didn't read "the letter". 👍

@dick_nixon Sir, why does the seemingly freeriding ultra-right have so much electoral clout in Israel? And I hear it’s popular with the young voters too?

I want to discuss Netanyahu. Normally this would be a column but I think everyone needs to hear it.

he wasn’t kidding

Existential crisis at the mascot festival

The Washington Post does in its headline what the New York Times wouldn’t — quote Trump using the word “vermin” and tie it to the rhetoric of dictators.

LATEST: The Israeli military accused Hamas militants of building "a whole tunnel system under" Sheikh Hamad Hospital in Gaza. Read more about the Israel-Hamas conflict at: trib.al/euo2yIl

@ArmandDoma Not sure it’s ever been an option though. We haven’t had a really sovereign Palestine before, but in the Mandate era the Muslims and Jews would constantly fight over Jerusalem. Lebanon tried to be multi sectarian but isn’t functional. There aren’t good examples in the region.

The basic problem with this thinking is that neither Netanyahu nor Hamas want this outcome—they have said so explicitly

@mattyglesias A big part of it is the Jones Act, but you can also save a lot on development costs by stealing your Ally’s IP.

Why does an American guided missile destroyer cost twice as much as a slightly larger Korean guided missile destroyer? armedforces.eu/compare/destro…

@bekahowell So true.

Interviewer: "When you built 500 km of tunnels in Gaza, why didn't you build shelters for civilians from the attacks?" Hamas official Abu Marzouk: "The tunnels are for us (the people of Hamas ). The citizens in the Gaza Strip are under the responsibility of the United Nations."

@ed_solomon @AdamWeinstein This site is a really bad joke.

@lrozen Andor is sci fi but the way it’s written I thought it was more noir. No magic Jedi’s too.

spouse and i need a new tv show. any good dramas or mystery recs, not too gory or sci fi or dystopian or cutesy or nihilistic…

Intellectual insanity Judith Butler: "Hamas and Hezbollah are social movements that are progressive and are part of the Global Left" twitter.com/jim1ny_cricket…

Around 100 persons have been killed in escalating violence on the West Bank 🇵🇸 since October 7, with also settler violence against Palestinians on the rise. It’s here the political battle over the future of any two state solutions - over any 🇮🇱🇵🇸 peace at all - will primarily be fought. The immediate drama is Gaza, but the real issue is Jerusalem and WB.

What is happening in the West Bank with more than 100 Palestinians killed since Oct 7 is an atrocity. Violent settlers are murdering Palestinians along with soldiers in the effort to force Palestinians to leave their homes, and no one is watching or preventing this.
