After two years of this horrific war, two years of captivity for Israeli hostages, two years of destruction and desolation of Gaza, tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths in Gaza including thousands of children, Netanyahu is the last person on earth who deserves a standing ovation.

One could say that the agreement could have been signed in January 2024, but it simply "wasn't attractive enough" for all the parties.

It's OK, I often post articles that interest me and I include a clip of the story that doesn't necessarily cover the entire intent of the article.

The book looks interesting, anyway.

Also: Biden apparently did not have financial entanglements with Qatar. From what I understand, Netanyahu's decision to attack Qatar really put Trump over the edge.

See earlier: Trump closed a deal to build a $4 billion Qatari resort and received a $400 million dollar plane.

Josie Glausiusz @josiegz.bsky.social · 20h

There is a good analysis here:

Former president Joe Biden had an “emotional identification” with Israel, and Biden seemed “ideologically incapable” of wielding real leverage over Netanyahu even when officials in his administration were calling for it.

What happens in the coming weeks will be much more defining of Trump’s legacy than the victory lap he’ll take this weekend.

Proposals to build data centers are facing growing opposition across the country.

Local leaders are weighing concerns about data centers’ water and electricity use with the hefty community investments that developers often offer to sweeten their deals.

Towns are saying no to AI data centers. One got sued over it.

A developer sued a Michigan township after it voted against a data center proposal. Cities in Ohio and Missouri have explored data center bans.

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived.
Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves.
She'd finally found it.
With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped.
In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.
