@Jake

Tell you what: I won’t use Al Jazeera as a source if you won’t use Jerusalem Post.

How do you distinguish between people and sources like me who decry the actions of the Israeli government and people who simply hate Jews. It appears to me that, to you, there’s no difference.

@Enco

The mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert…[Read more]

@Simon. The Pravda Network in Russia is a huge misinformation ecosystem.  It is mostly automated and produces up to 10,000 articles every day. The process is known as “LLM grooming”.  More to read here.

@Enco

Tell me: There is no starvation in Gaza?

Those who disagree. They are all misguided, wrong on the facts, or working in league with each other to misinform the world?:

Many organizations are expressing knowledge of widespread starvation going on now in Gaza. The situation is considered extremely dire, with some even stating that a…[Read more]

@Enco

I’ve just come off the phone with my Israeli client, who a) lives in Tel Aviv,  b) is a Brigadier General in the army (top cyber expert) and c) cares deeply about the food issues in Gaza. He describes the efforts being made to pump food into the area.  Until all the remaining hostages are released, this situation is likely to continue.  I…[Read more]

@jakelafort – First blush i punted. Second blush took me 4 or 5 seconds. Sad but true. 

I hope your head did not start spinning? (Just asking for a friend). 🙂

“Nothing to see here” says Netanyahu.

Israel’s leader claims no one in Gaza is starving. Data and witnesses disagree

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter…[Read more]

@Strega….Jake is correct, I read it on my phone which is not possessed….with a big screen and misread it 😉 My favorite exorcise this week is to bend over backwards for you so please don’t ghost me!

I was wondering if my subtle pun to Jake was noticed recently……I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun….

Also…I should have…[Read more]

@Reg

I cannot believe you ignored my pun

I’m not even going to explain it to you. Of all the people. You. The Pun Lord.

@Strega……I walk a min of 10K per day (Yes, 7k is sufficient), run 5k 3 times a week (ok sometimes only once…) and can “dead hang” for 3 minutes on a bad day. I seldom eat meat, mostly fruit, nuts, porridge and Indian vegetarian.  5k yesterday was 26:05…..seldom do I eat processed foods :-). And I am 60…….

”I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed”

You’re OK with these foods, but only if you exorcise daily 🙂

I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed.

From August 1st I am going to forgo any added sugar in my diet.

A doctor in Ireland is warning  about glycerol in colorful slushies.

Another side bar on high fructose corn syrup vs cane sugar, is that the US makes an enormous amount of the high fructose stuff as a by product of all the corn they grow. However, it would appear that the US does not make cane sugar to any large extent, and would need to import the cane sugar from South America. This of course, will also be…[Read more]

There are plenty of names that disguise the sugar hidden in foods.

@jakelafort – I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun. Anything over the mid 20’s and I am indoors.  Was I chopping chilies? No, just applying sun-cream. Now I can’t read for the next 30 minutes. Silly Billy. SF 50 good, SF 496 bad. If the logocracy takes hold in the mid 2020’s, I am sure you will be on the front line of the resistance,…[Read more]
