IMO, Israel just didn't prepare because it didn't perceive Hamas as a significant threat.

One thing that has made this app infinitely better for me--and maybe gives me different sense of it than some--is @numb.comfortab.ly's block lists. Saves so much time and grief. Just click Subscribe to block them all.

Nasrallah’s death is the best thing that happened to Lebanon’s other political actors, but do you think that means they will take the lesson and do better for their country? Reader, it does not.

Iran has this new thing called airplanes.

Iran already has troops in Lebanon. Just saying.

The craziest shit for me is that there's an audio recording of Donald Trump asking for Georgia officials to "find votes" in 2020 and he's running now. How is that not instantly disqualifying? We HEARD him. Not Meadows. Not Giuliani. How is asking officials for votes (with proof) not instant jail?

🤷

Nasrallah is dead.. Sinwar is probably dead. Just declare victory and move on. Oh... but you might end up in jail. I see. Carry on the useless war, then.

I was skeptical initially, but I am now 100% behind the Harris campaign's decision to limit media contact. There is no upside to having every substantive proposal picked apart while journos let the other guy get away with nonense like "we'll lower grocery prices by cutting energy costs in half."

Pretty clear Israel was way more prepared to fight Hezbollah than Hamas.
