Trump and Netanyahu have surpassed those who perpetrated the Cardiff Giant hoax.

Hostages were returned and prisoners were released. However, there is no peace.

How is it that the world's news media blew the reporting on this?

You say you want a revolution ...

Start here - ban all: robocalls; sales calls; and pharmaceutical commercials.
Next - outlaw for-profit health insurance.
Then - forbid privatization of all government services/functions.

Equality is an abstract term suitable for math. There is no equality.
The rule of law is a nonsensical construct. Laws are written on paper. They do not rule.
Rules are enforced by humans. Those enforcing them have their own ideas as to what they mean.
Equality under the law is gibberish.

What we witnessed was a "Piece" plan in Egypt. There was no "Peace" plan on the table.

It's all about fossil fuels and land.

We're just witnessing Trump's latest scam. I'm not sure what happened in Egypt. I have yet to see a credible report of what transpired. I doubt we ever will.
Gaza is in total ruins, over 2 million displaced people, tens of 1,000s have been killed.
Israel & Hamas have done a hostage exchange. Peace?

Analogize our country to a ship - a submarine to be precise. Our ship has sunk. The power is gone and we're on the bottom waiting for the oxygen to run out. Our Captain is busy trying to profit from a few last personal deals before he suffocates along with everyone else.

Fossil fuel and land baby!

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Avoid "Wayward" on Netflix.

Trump's deals are all Hydras. Things only get worse each time he does something.
God knows what he's just pulled off in Egypt. The one thing I feel sure of is that he will profit personally and we will be worse off for it.
It seems like both sides are preparing to say the ceasefire was violated.

I don't think we have a clue as to what's really going on in Egypt. Our press will be the last to know.

Cease fire and hostage return are good, but thousands have been killed, Gaza is rubble and some 2 million people are displaced.
Benny giving Trump a rim job in Israel and an international circle jerk in Egypt are not solutions.
We don't really know what's going on.
Our press is tripping on spin.

I finished "The Butterfly Lampshade". I've reserved "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" at the library. Aimee's writing is wonderous.

I finished "The Butterfly Lampshade" by Aimee Bender. She is unique as a writer. I say this having spent a lifetime reading 1,000s of books.
I've reserved "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" at the library. I imagine I'll be reading her books in succession - she's a wonderful storyteller.

No one plays Donny better than Benny. I watched a shameful display this morning. Someone needs to go in and decontaminate the Knessett.

We watched "No Right Way" last night. We'd never heard of it. The actors were all unknown to us.

I would encourage everyone to watch this movie and share their thoughts about it.

The legacy of Christopher Columbus is one of betrayal, greed, torture, misery and death.
It's pathetic how little most people know of what he actually did.

Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 3d

Large, public, violent confrontations with the police/authorities are exactly what this administration wants to see happen. Trump wants any excuse to declare martial law.
If you're inclined toward violence, seek help/counselling. Don't use Trump as an excuse, a pretense, to act on your pathology.
