@BreeceH Don't worry bro, you next. Congrats

Folks, I need to inform you that there is very concerning data regarding the food situation in Gaza. Firstly, let me just that that as someone who supports Israel I anticipate many on my side will be skeptical of this and I totally understand why. Throughout the war you have been fed false information from the UN and various "Humanitarian" institutions and media who have essentially zero concern for truth or anything resembling reality. As I have publicly documented extensively, these institutions repeatedly fabricated data, then lied about their own data they fabricated, made up nonsense on the spot, all completely shamelessly knowing they wouldn't be questioned, and of course were repeatedly proven wrong (including by myself from my own past analyses and counter-predictions). My view of these institutions has not changed. "Humanitarian" institutions have been and still are the ultimate kings of pseudoscience. That all being said, the fable of the boy who cried wolf has an important moral which is not that wolves don't exist and will never attack anyone. Rather, it is precisely because wolves do exist and will eventually attack that makes it so important to not cry wolf. And ideally, even when the UN cries wolf and a wolf actually happens to finally be there, we should still be ready for that. Prices of staple food items for calories and/or protein (tracked over time in the same region, minimizing noise) have reached extremely high values, many of which are unprecedented throughout the war. This data was compiled by @YannayASpitzer, from the Department of Economics at @HebrewU. This is concerning as relative changes food prices have been a reasonable indicator for access to food in Gaza throughout the war, even while free aid, distribution, concomitant looting of aid, potential hoarding of aid (insert additional concerns here) were all concomitantly happening. While this data can be complex and hard to standardize, they overall did what you would expect them to do - when access was low, they went up, when access was high, they went down. Now they're up at levels we haven't seen before (standardized for market location as above). Also, this isn't just my assessment. It also isn't just Yannay's assessment. This sentiment was also expressed by the GHF themselves. They said "the situation in Gaza is dire". This isn't coming from the UN or some other "Humanitarian" pseudoscience factory. This is coming from the GHF, who are on the ground and see what is happening firsthand every day without the anti-Israel lenses on. Something needs to change. The suggestions I have at the moment (getting at things that will work but also politically viable/realistic): 1) Scale up humanitarian operations: - Increase the food quantity to be distributed, petition for increased funding if necessary. - Increase distribution site number to increase access and minimize crowding at any single site. - Increase the operational time open of distribution centers, for the same reasons. 2) Reduce casualties of civilians en-route to aid centers: Without litigating each case (which is not the purpose of this post), the civilian casualties near/en-route to humanitarian centers ultimately limits aid access and needs to be improved. - Higher thresholds for engagement, including for warning shots - Consider policing protocols for crowd control (while the IDF is not the police, if they are going to be doing a policing job, they should be implementing police protocols at least to some degree) 3) Force idle aid to be distributed: Yes, do this by force if necessary. It doesn't matter if aid is idle in a truck, a warehouse, or even being hoarded. If it's not going anywhere, it might as well not exist. - Implement protocols such that aid idle beyond a given time will be seized for distribution to any other humanitarian organization that will distribute it. Not just idle trucks, but aid idle in UN warehouses as well. And to whatever degree claims of warehouse hoarding by Hamas or other nefarious actors are true, raid and seize that aid for distribution too. Aid doesn't sit. It goes to the people who need it. Period. Other suggestions are welcome, so long as they are politically realistic (this mean accounting for what certain authorities will and will not allow, even if you don't like that) and genuinely motivated by improving the situation rather than scoring political points or feeding some moral sense of righteous indignation.

@ZacharyNeugut @Delta @Delta This also happend on flight from JFK to San Diego, 530 PM yesterday. You need to do better. Especially if you know that you can't takeoff because of weather -- no reason to keep folks on the tarmac.

I sat on the tarmac on @Delta for 3 hours without A/C, and for the second time this month on a delta flight, an elderly person passed out from the heat. It’s dangerous, inhumane, and completely avoidable. Delta, I get you’re trying to cut costs but this has to stop.

@ThePoniExpress It's called the Jacob DeGrom

Paul Skenes has 1 win in his last 13 starts. With a 1.72 ERA. That seems made up.

@jayhaykid They call this the Jacob degrom

Paul Skenes over his 7 starts: 1.12 ERA. 1 win.

@NYRangers What an incredible guy -- totally knew he was retiring and didn't say a word so Sam would get the attention he deserved. Wow.

19 unforgettable years in the #NYR booth. Congratulations, Joe, and wishing you all the best in retirement. 💙♥️

@BrettHoffmanjr @UofMKwn Hoff come on — no one wants a rookie backup creating a circus like he would. If he didn’t bomb interviews, did agree to workouts with teams, and didn’t enforce that he wants control over org from day 1 then he would’ve been drafted already. The problem here is privilege.

@UofMKwn He’s a young guy, why can’t he develop just like some immature rookies?

The media crushed shedeur bc his dad is prime time..if he wasn’t sanders, he’d have been drafted already..in no world is dillon gabriel a better qb

@OhRyanMead @TickPick Panarin, 3-2

I've heard the complaints about ticket prices for NYR games. We're teaming up with @TickPick to give away NYR tickets - home or away. Here's how you win: 1. Guess the first NYR goal scorer vs SEA 2. Guess the final score. We'll do this until someone wins. Reply below LGR

@vzmercogliano Totally get it but @vzmercogliano he prioritized money when he was an FA. He could’ve taken less to get a full NMC. This is just as much on him for getting his bag

- Part of reason he wanted to come to NY in first place was for his wife’s medical career and now they have 6-month-old. Can’t blame him for wanting to stay put, and I don’t think the way he and Goodrow have been handled this offseason is sitting well with some teammates.

I’ve been working on the train and will share a few tidbits in this thread heading into a big Monday… - The Trouba situation has gotten messy. Makes sense for #NYR to move him and use cap space elsewhere, but you can also understand him not wanting to uproot his family.

@SNY_Mets @SNYtv Grimace bolt

Tonight's Mets-Yankees game will resume at 10:10 p.m.

@StatBoy_Steven Doesn't this hurt Rangers the first year. He costs them cap space as roster member and as a buyout? Next year helps though

This is an interesting point someone else asked me about yesterday. There is a scenario where the Rangers buy out Barclay Goodrow, sign him to a league minimum contract and still save 3m in 2024-25. And yes, you can sign a player after you bought them out. Calgary did this with Michael Stone previously. It rarely happens because most buy-outs don't provide this much cap relief. Goodrow's contract is an anomaly. I don't think it is happening but it's technically possible. #NYR

@MattCalamia My thought is that it won't take a mid-round pick from the Rangers, maybe a 6th or 7th round at the most

@MattCalamia I think an up-and-coming team that needs leadership would gladly take Trouba at 50% retained. SJ, Utah, Chicago.

@drosennhl He whiffed on a guy that didn’t even have the pick

Sam Bennett scores off the rush, and for good measure Matthew Tkachuk shot it right back into the net too. It's 1-0 Panthers with 48.5 seconds left. Jacob Trouba looked like he got burned on that play.

@BR_OpenIce Cool. How's golf?

In an interview with Ninja, Bryan Rust said he believes the Penguins would've beaten the Rangers in the first round if Pittsburgh made it instead of Washington 👀

Hockey has the best playoffs no question!

@jonmoxIeys Looks like murray from impractical jokers

this fan im crying

@JLazzy23 Game 2 attendees get shafted with the towels and no shirts

Nothing like it. Game 2 ready.

@JLazzy23 How is ESPN so bad that we never got replays of this or the Trouba hit?

Incredible stuff from Sergei Bobrovsky twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/sta…
