This app should have as much venom for the "Woo" of high-protein diets as they do for homeopathy. HP diets have verified risks for several systems in the body, especially the kidneys and cardiovascular. Protein maxxing is way riskier than, say, kombucha.

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

One of the reasons I respect the animators and mangaka of *Cinderella Grey* is that they aren't cowards who make all the girls noodly because it's easier to animate.

Honestly, I might also mix in some rewatches with stuff like this for how my thoughts have changed on films from when I might've last seen them years ago.

There's a whole variety of films I've been meaning to see outside just Devil in a Blue Dress, like The Great Waldo Pepper, The Parallax View, Klute, the original Cape Fear, The Verdict, In the Heat of the Night...

Just so much potential stuff that can be talked about as part of film reviews.

It was as part of a Boeing study looking at usage of expendable launch vehicles for resupply of Space Station Freedom and if it was at 28 degrees, wouldn't be able to use Progress out of Baikonour so why not CCAFS and then well, can always make it bigger logistics b/c on Atlas II.

Also not to mention, Carl Franklin directing, and imho seems like a reasonable enough pick to do for the first time with a whole write-up of a review for it

Especially since why not start off with a noir with the lead by Denzel Washington and also in which Don Cheadle won a whole bunch of awards from his role as a supporting actor.
