An Israeli journalist gloats over the murder of a Palestinian journalist.

I can’t find the words to characterize it—‘depraved’ is far too gentle.

the more things change, the more they stay the same in college football (coaches being showered in cash for not working)

Firings so far this season by Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Penn State, UAB, UCLA and Virginia Tech have those schools committed to buyouts totaling $93.9 million, subject to mitigation and offset, but not including amounts that also will be owed to assistant coaches

Only $300 between hunger, shelter, and my children's lives. Don't let us collapse while we call on you. Don't let our voices die. We are now in your hearts. Don't let us down and leave us lost between hunger and oppression. You are love for us.

I am Hammam from northern Gaza. We lost our home & everything during the genocide. We are now homeless, without a tent, I swear. We live on sand and lack the necessities of life. Diseases have spread among us.

In my book I couldn't help by offhandedly start to list the commonalities Jordan Peterson has with the worst of the 80s postmodernists, and I had to cut it short, but my fucking god the fucking spiritual woo the man constantly engages in.

Second to none in terms of said grifters is Jordan Peterson, a practitioner
of the dying pseudoscience known as “psychoanalysis.” Peterson is prone to
rambling conceptual free association, slapdash genealogy, motte-and-bailey
fallacies, Nietzsche fandom, explicit proclamations of epistemic relativism,
fawnishly citing Thomas Kuhn, and even apologia for the nazi philosopher
Martin Heidegger. And yet, he has—despite these postmodernist bonafides—
somehow branded himself as a fervent critic of it. Peterson is infamously
unconcerned with actually reading anything, but his main criticisms are obviously copied from Ayn Rand scholar Stephen Hicks’ 2004 book Explaining

Jordan Peterson, explained

She explained how her 62-year-old dad had been dealing with a “host of neurological issues this summer that we believe stem from CIRS, which is chronic inflammatory response syndrome, due to decades of mould exposure.”

Fuller added that he had been suffering from symptoms of neuropathy and weakness for the last few years and his condition worsened after Peterson cleaned out his late father’s basement earlier this year.

“We don’t have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks,” she said.

It feels like everyone has moved on and forgotten Odai’s pain. 💔
He’s still suffering every day from his Quadcopter injury, and now his painkillers have run out.
Im very sad about Odai
Please don’t leave him alone — he urgently needs $350 for treatment and relief. 🙏

Incredible that this man thinks he can gaslight us into thinking he couldn’t have stopped the genocide, that he wasn’t a collaborator par excellence.

Blinken:

(2/12) First, what changed to make this breakthrough possible? Hamas is finally and fully isolated. Arab states and Turkey have said “enough.” The misery Hamas provoked and would allow to persist has delegitimized it among most Gazans. And Hamas realized that the cavalry (Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis) are not coming to the rescue.

(3/12) Israel has long since achieved its war aims -- destroying Hamas as an organized military force so October 7 can never be repeated and eliminating those responsible for its horrors – but at terrible cost to Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start and were powerless to stop. Only the hostages remained. Israelis want them home and the war to end, putting pressure on the Israeli government to take the deal, not move the goalposts.

Aside from being prejudicial, the photo itself disproves the lie they are trying to propagate. I hope he has a chance to use it in court.

These are not the shoes of a criminal.

These are the shoes of a man who WORKS HARD.

A closeup of a mans shoes showing them covered in white gypsum or concrete, obviously the shoes of someone who works in construction.

Dropsite reporting confirms the deteriorating condition of the starving Gazan child highlighted by the NYT was in fact a direct consequence of the Israeli-imposed famine, regardless of ‘pre-existing condition’ (exclusively blamed by Bari Weiss’ The Free Press).

www.dropsitenews.com/p/bari-weiss...

When Israel imposed a full-spectrum blockade in March, Muhammad was just 15 months old. “Until the end of March, Muhammad’s health was still good, he weighed around nine kilograms. But since then, his health has deteriorated week by week. He lost roughly one kilogram every month. Today, at 19 months old, he weighs only six kilograms,” she said, showing Drop Site photographs and videos before and after.

Muhammad was admitted to the hospital for several days and diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition, the most extreme and life-threatening form of malnutrition.

“They say that the skeletal body of Muhammad is due to another health condition,” Al-Mutawaq said. “But if so, why isn’t this skeletal body visible in his photos only a couple of months ago? Why did he become like this only after Israel started starving us?”

JD Vance this morning when directly asked if Trump was considering deploying the Insurrection Act: “The president is looking at all his options.”

www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Oct. 12, 2025, 9:55 AM ADT / Updated Oct. 12, 2025, 10:42 AM ADT
By Megan Lebowitz
WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance indicated in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that President Donald Trump was not opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

Asked by moderator Kristen Welker whether the White House was seriously considering invoking the 1807 statute, Vance said, “The president is looking at all his options.”

“Right now he hasn’t felt he needed to,” he added.

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically for law enforcement purposes. The military is typically not allowed to be deployed on U.S. soil for domestic law enforcement purposes without congressional authorization.
