Sorry to everyone who thinks there should be fewer romances involving grief, but we all just lived through a mass death/disabling historical event with absolutely zero public rhetoric about it (or the fact that it’s ongoing) and grief romances is one big way we’re all Working That Out

Israel's military has bombed Beirut for the first time since June, claiming to target a Hezbollah member in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh.
It's the latest violation of a ceasefire Israel signed with Hezbollah a year ago, which Israel has broken with near-daily attacks on southern Lebanon.

One moment that sticks in my mind from the early Robert B Parker Spenser novels is when Spenser notices an attractive lady and then realizes that she's a teenager. He immediately looks away and banishes her from his mind.
It's a throwaway moment in a book series that's a lot about how to be a man.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

This was the plan all along and why people like Thiel have inserted their cronies into key positions in the govt. They HATE the FDA and have for many years because they want to make drugs (mostly longevity ones) that don’t have to go through serious vetting. Here is the inevitable outcome:
FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.
“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.
