At 10,000 feet, deep in the Eastern Sierra, lies a lake that’s intensely, cinematically blue.

For anyone seeing this movie: of course any war involves the risk of civilian casualties. The issue is how many lives you’re prepared to risk to get a given enemy combatant, and the problem with Israel’s actions is that those numbers are REALLY high. See here. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/asse...

Assessing Israel’s Approach to Proportionality in the Conduct of Hostilities in Gaza

The Jabalia strike indicates that the IDF’s tolerance for civilian casualties is multiples greater than that of the U.S. in the ISIS war.

After 10 years of cravenly and fraudulently presenting the Know-Nothing Nazified Republican Party as one of two sane, understandable choices, major news organizations are not able to report the obvious, which is that U.S. voters seem to be increasingly coming to their senses. Epic, epic fail.

Transactional bundling "intentionally collapses conflict resolution, economic bargains, and arrangements that benefit Trump cronies into grandiose megadeals that are hard or impossible to scrutinize." What makes it possible is the de-institutionalization of U.S. foreign policy. See:

In an update from Secrets of the Ice, researchers reveal that this year alone, 48 prehistoric arrows have been discovered and recovered from melting ice in Jotunheimen. While these finds offer insights into ancient hunting,they also signal an urgent & sobering reality: the oldest ice is now melting

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."
