5/ All this is not to suggest ethnic cleansing is on the table. There is no one at the table. Trump is focused on the US. Israel falters and sputters. No one is making alliances. People are fantasizing, not planning. This is the twilight of the gods, not their heyday.

“I went down hard. I got COVID and everyone's like, 'COVID, it's like a sniffle here and there.’ Well, COVID 2025 is next level.” The Spelling family has been sick for like 4 years now. I have an entire thread on their previous Covid adventures. I kept track because I relate.

If you are wondering why some of the dead children in Gaza have no visible injuries or covered in blood. Who look like they're sleeping. It is because Israel killed them with Thermobaric bombs. These bombs suck oxygen from the air to trigger high temperature explosions. The explosive pressure is so strong that it quite literally sucks the air out of the children's lungs and causes them to internally explode.

"Trump's 3-step plan to create a military omniforce: 1. Purge—those deemed disloyal 2. Merge—different parts of law enforcement/military 3. Surge—impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent [I]t's happening here in American cities."
"One of the things Trump realized by the end of his first term is he did not have generals w/him when it came to his stolen election claims or firing on Americans. He probably feels he might have been able to hold onto power w/a more subservient military" publicnotice.co/p/don-moynih…

I have zero expectations for LNP - and they exceed those expectations every day. I did however have some expectations for Labor - and I now feel completely betrayed. I truly didn’t think they would be this bad. Could and should be so different 😞😞 #auspol

And remember... these charts are all *hospital episodes*. So there will be hundreds of thousands more dental problems that *didn't make it into these charts*.

So... teeth eh. I went to visit a 45 year old man in hospital today. He's recovering from complications of his recovery from surgery after an infection... and he said that while he was ill, three of his teeth fell out. So I thought I'd look up statistics on teeth...

There is no ceasefire. It's a lie. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved. The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…
