Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

Chansiri had the finances to make a difference. Ashley has been chased out of every club he's been involved in, he isn't going to be a good owner

Either are as likely as Mike Ashley coming in and doing a good job

I heard it was 200m and he was going to buy Haaland

At least you're building it. Britain does this stuff much worse

If I'm in a shopping centre I do appreciate a library, but I'd rather stay away from the shopping centre!

That's what I thought! They're apparently too loud, but I don't understand why they can't be taught how to behave in that context. New library will be 1km away in a big shopping centre, plenty of distractions to stop the children actually going near the library itself

We're losing our local library in part because too many kids went there after school, according to the city. I still can't get my head round that reasoning

It's a big league alright, but probably a different sport!

Every time I see one of these I wonder what Sanna Marin was thinking when she joined TBI

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

The β€˜Little West’ takes on the new world order Terrified into co-operation by outside threats, a surprisingly solid bloc is emerging

Yeah! It's similar to what they'd planned for Manchester, a new through station underneath the old terminus station. And it will eventually open, so better than HS2! There were protests aplenty but I think signalling is the current holdup

That project is absolutely wild, and the delays are HS2 level! Had a site tour recently and it was fascinating to hear how long it's taken en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttga...

New owners aren't allowed to communicate with players or the club really. Administrators can't promise anything. Bullshit speculation and bitter Blades (Wilder and his acolytes) fill the void

Surely it's like this: he's been offered 18 months on a proper wage, asked the club if it was likely they would offer the same, and they said no guarantees before the window closes/takeover completion. So is he going to leave 1m+ on the table, at 36? Not sure I'd do that

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This is actually a weirdly boring time to specialize in International Relations because there's no actual intellectual substance to any of this. Like, yeah, man. Shit's fucked. Fucker's nutso. That sort of insight is why I'm a fancy-pants political scientist you should all respect and consult.

MEP @alexandrageese.bsky.social giving presser now at EP with victims of recent πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έsanctions against lawmakers & NGOs for implementing EU tech laws

"This is a surgical political instrument to silence opponents," she says. "What πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ is hitting here is not some random NGO, it's the DSA enforcement chain"

Former DOGE engineer says he was 'surprised' by 'how efficient' the government is NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.

One of the DOGE "true believers" left when he realised Government is actually pretty efficient compared to tech firms it's so often unfavourably compared to.

So much has changed overnight. One of those weeks where years happen. An Atlanticist, America-brained and monoglot policymaking community and media class are about to get the shock of their lives.

1,500 of them? Might need a third Finnish officer to deal with that

This is why I don't think it's worth turning on him. If he stays and he's crap, he won't last long. If the new owners sack him, he should leave with gratitude for holding things together when they could've gone even worse

Tactics are basically "try to make this knackered youth team look vaguely competitive", and it has worked very often. We drew with Hull! Most weeks opposition fans get very annoyed that they're not breaking us down. It just looks terrible a d we all know what's coming on 60, 70, 80 minutes

It's mental and physical exhaustion of everyone, and HP has to turn up every day giving it the jolly viking and persuading people to give everything, again. He's played a blinder and if he wants to stay he deserves a chance

Time to dump Trump? Europeans whisper last-resort options to save Greenland The alliance is already broken, officials say, so why not threaten to cut ties with America on military collaboration?

"Why shouldπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έcontinue to have access to these bases, or receive support from allies’ naval assets, air forces or intelligence services, if it tries to take sovereign territory from a NATO member like Denmark? The question is so sensitive diplomats are at pains to keep it away from mainstream debates"
