The problem is it is beneficial for both the far right in Israel and Hamas for there to be a never ending conflict as it helps consolidate their power. It wouldn't surprise me if Yahoo sat on the intelligence because this great for him. Now he can quell the judiciary protests and consolidate power more easily.

Medical officials in Gaza are pleading with the IDF to allow for the creation of humanitarian corridors:

 

 

i have a feeling Israel wants blood and is in no mood to make any deals right now.

The chances of direct US involvement has increased to non zero.

Hamas released a video of a drone taking out an IDF tank Ukraine style. 

I was wondering when this style of warfare would start to spread given how effective its shown to be

I have a hard time feeling too bad for Israel when they continue to allow the demolition of Palestinian homes for settlements.

Egypt talking with Saudi Arabia, Jordan in bid to calm fighting

 

Egypt is talking with Saudi Arabia and Jordan in an effort to defuse the ongoing escalation, the Egyptian foreign ministry has said.

 

Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry spoke by phone with his Saudi and Jordanian counterparts, the statement said.

 

He underlined the importance of “uniting international and regional efforts” to contain the escalating violence, a statement read.

 

Egypt maintains ties with both Hamas and Israel, and has been a frequent interlocutor in violent escalations.

That ship has sailed

Beat the game, the final choices for the main ending were kinda... meh, IMO.

1.) Give a lying manipulating fuck the netherstones making him potentially all-powerful

 

2.) Become a mindflayer so you can wield the netherstones properly (going against everything you've been trying to avoid in this entire game) and potentially be turned into a thrall by the Emperor because he's a dick

 

3.) Free Orpheus and either let him become a mindflayer or go back to where you become a mindflayer but without the potential of being the Emperor's bitch

 

 

 

Supposedly you can have one of your companions become a mindflayer instead, but it didn't give me the option. I would've chosen Gale as Mystra probably turns him back or something.

 

I chose letting Orpheus become a mindflayer because I sure AF wasn't gonna do it, then for my companions...

Karlach was my bae, so I chose to go with her to Avernus. Because of this it played a scene with the two of us going there and an army of demons coming for us with Karlach feeling better, lighting up a cigar, and saying "you ready?" as we both draw weapons and run towards the demons. However, it didn't show any of the other characters resolving anything; (before leaving with Karlach) Gale asked what to do with the crown, I told him to give it to Mystra - Astarion starting burning in the sun and ran off - Lae'Zel said she would go fight the evil queen-god - I told Orpheus not to kill himself and just watch his people from afar - Wyll is going to be the Blade of Avernus but I told him not to come with me and Karlach (he's a cockblock for even trying to go with us) - I have no idea what's going on with Shadowheart, Jaheira, Halsin, or Minsc (I didn't get Mithara), but when given the option for "what's next" I said that "a celebration sounds great" or whatever.

He is a perfect fit for the role, but he is competing against Steve McQueen so it was always an uphill battle, and I'm a big Brosnan fan. I like that both exist, like The Wages of Fear and Sorcerer. 

I've never seen the original but from the clips and what I read it seems like they are pretty different movies. With the original being more of a thriller.

will be funny if he gets cawthorn'd and people just starting outing him for shit

Only matter if its gay/trans stuff. Fucking teenagers is par for the course for the GOP.

I agree, it is underrated, people are down on it because people like the original 1968 film directed by Norman Jewison starring Steve McQueen which is better than the Brosnan version but the Brosnan version is quite good! Because of peoples' bias towards the original, the remake from 1998 is indeed underrated.

 Brosnan is just perfect for that part. I can't imagine anyone else playing it as well as him.

The Thomas Crown Affair is so underrated

The most unrealistic part of the movie is that one of those scam centers would be within driving distance to the beekeeper and within the US. 

 

My prediction is McCarthy is gonna come crawling to the democrats and will have to make a bunch of concessions and deal with primary consequences later. He loves being speaker too much.

Now 8 GOP votes against him.

 

Yeah - I'd say he's out, but he'll be back because there ain't no one else gonna want/get this shitty job.

I'd imagine democrats are using this as leverage to get things they want.

Hmm, that's a good point. Warlock would also fit his personality in terms of making dark deals.

Dennis would make a deal with a devil thinking how he is going to easily out smart them.

tbh, clinging to power would have been letting the government shut down to appease the hard right who threatened to kick him out. Passing this bill makes him vulnerable -- maybe -- to the faction lead by the child molestor.

I'm willing to be democrats have agreed to help keep him in power to completely neuter the Freedom Caucus. 

Bowman should be kicked out of the party. 

LOL @ McCarthy positioning himself as the adult in the room and not as a coward bitch that is doing this as a desperate attempt to cling to power.

A bit melodramatic and indie girl voice for my tastes but it did kinda hold my interest until the female voice entered.

How could anyone say this is shit?

 

 

Don't care for the vocal styling. In fact its one of the biggest issues I have with modern music in general. Also now that I listened to most of it, its just boring and repetitive. Musically it just kinda says the same throughout. There is no build up or crescendo.

Now this is how you do a slow sad longing song.
