Massive protests in Tel Aviv signal The Walls are really closing in on Bibi
For precision humanitarian strikes.
I remember reading The IOF dropped more bombs on Gaza in the first week than the US dropped on Afghanistan in their entire occupation. Are there recent figures on the scale of the destruction? I mean, what could be left?
Have they tried making it more rigid?
“ But girls like to be called snuggle puppies,” wailed a careworn principal of a city school. “They grant the boys liberties, encourage them to take them, and if the young chaps do not follow the pace, they are called sissies, poor boobs, or flat tires.”
say the line, Ilan
Obvious fake. Baltimore is all about smack and PCP
There’s this tendency to put media that women enjoy under a microscope that seems weird to me. For all the women who love “true crime” there are plenty of men who get into war or mafia documentaries.
This metaphor only works if the horse can actually walk.
The Scene from the Blues Brothers but it’s Stav and John Waters
New Stav Character: Container ship captain who just had 12 beers and insists he’s good to pilot a ship.
“Awww naw, I’m fooking foine, let’s fooking gooooo.”
I mean I thought it was about Middle East statecraft writ larg, not Palestine in particular. I always thought Dr. Kynes had a bit of eco-Zionism to him though.
Where did Frank Herbert come up with Emperor Shaddam? Or the commodity from the desert necessary for long distance travel?
But it’s about a plucky chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine 
Who get kicked off campus by a crotchety dean (Amy Schumer), and play pranks on the stodgy Student Hasbara group. With Hijinks ensuing.
I wonder when we see how many of the 1200 were shot from helicopters?

Link to a more exhaustive history of the Jewish Calendar:
From the Jewish Encyclopedia (1906)
Happy Rosh Hashana 5784 to all my Hexbears who celebrate!
The Jewish calendar is pretty wacky! It incorporates both Solar and Lunar cycles and the new year actually takes place in month #7. Though the Canaanite Gezer Calendar begins the year in the early Autumn, but does not include the names of the months. The months are of Babylonian origin, named:
- Nissan
- Iyar
- Sivan
- Tammuz
- Av
- Elul
- Tishrei
- Heshvan
- Kislev
- Tevet
- Shvat
- Adar
- Adar 2 (sometimes)
You'll notice an occasional month #13. Since the months are lunar, they don't perfectly sync up to a full revolution of the the earth around the sun. The extra month is necessary to keep Passover in the spring (month of Nissan) After much discussion included consultation of Pagan astronomers (this was allowed due to their accuracy) during the 300s C.E., a regular system was developed where 235 lunar months match up to 19 solar years. If the year, when divided by 19 has a remainder of 0,3,6,8,11,14, or 17 it will have a "leap month" added, or else it will have 12 lunar months.
