L’armée israélienne annonce le lancement d’une « vaste opération » dans le nord de la Cisjordanie
L’armée israélienne a précisé à l’AFP qu’il ne s’agissait pas d’un déploiement dans le cadre de son « opération antiterroriste » lancée en janvier 2025 et visant principalement les camps de réfugiés palestiniens de la région, mais d’une « nouvelle opération ».

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

after many years of working very part-time, at 58 i've taken a job that requires a commute and takes me out of the house for many hours some days. when i come home i try to thank my hubby for the housework he's done. it is beyond stupid that we don't consider homemaking a job worthy of a salary.
