There's a saying among BBC journalists that all who work there eventually end up at Al Jazeera.
Watch one of my favorite documentaries of all time, Control Room (2004) about coverage of the Iraq War.
Al Jazeera is far from perfect, and I'd argue has fallen from its peak in terms of quality. But it's still worth viewing to get a more well rounded perspective.
Now do I believe they can cover topics that hit close to Qatari interests? Not necessarily. For those I take with a grain of salt.
PSA: there is an inbound showdown between Saikat Chakrabarti (AOC's 2018 campaign manager and Justice Democrats co-founder) and an AIPAC center-right Democrat hack for Pelosi's seat.
Meet new CBS CEO, same as old CBS CEO (more importantly, same shareholders) who said when Trump was winning in 2016:
It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS
I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.
I am definitely caffeine addicted, too. Best I can manage usually is to taper off the caffeine coffee by noon and transition to green tea, then ginger tea later. Seems to help!
Temp seems good; that's about what mine is.
If possible, consider a big lunch and reduce size of dinner and/or dial it back by an hour. Be extra cautious of deep-fried, high sodium, or high acidic foods (tomato-based sauces like spaghetti or pizza, mayo, etc.).
For those who don't dream much, I'm curious of your surrounding sleep habits and how much you've looked into changing your habits. This could be a big indicator you're not getting into REM sleep, which is not good.
Do any of you drink alcohol, take other prescribed substances (or not prescribed)?
Have you tried eating foods rich in magnesium or taking magnesium supplements?
There are some moments in that which are pretty brutal and I was like, "Oh wow... Not sure if my kid should be watching this yet..." but it was an incredible film.
I know it's a considerable cost increase and installation, but still way cheaper than upgrading your central A/C, and way more efficient, quiet, elegant than a window unit: add a mini-split to the room. I added a Mitsubishi to our hot office with tons of electronics and it's one of the best home investments I made.
We need to utilize this offensively against Trump, though.
"Are you safer now than you were a couple of weeks ago?" The answer is a resounding no. As little risk though they may be, the odds of an Iranian terrorist attack was less then than it is now for me and my family.
Trump has thus made America less safe by dragging us into another war while food prices remain high.
They really couldn't. They were caught between a rock and a hard place.
Which is why Musk was able to dump over $70 million in exactly opposite attack ad messages to both Jewish and Muslim communities inside the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
If they pulled military aid on Ukraine, one of the most powerful lobbyists in a close election would've unleashed their funding, and Republicans too would have labeled Harris and Biden as Antisemitic. Netanyahu would have publicly stated that, "Democrats are putting Israeli citizens at risk from terrorist attack by leaving us defenseless!" In the worst case scenario, Netanyahu -- already proven to be a psychopath who ignored obvious intelligence of an impending attack once -- could have possibly staged a false flag attack similar to Putin's past actions, and that would've sealed the deal. The public media would've labeled Biden/Harris as antisemitic and incompetent.
It's why they literally had to toe the line between protecting Israel (because the inertia Israel has in our society, sadly), but also seek a peace deal and publicly advocate for a 2-state-solution, as Harris did. The media landscape was not favorable to Democrats, which is why they had limited cards to play.
Never once did I say that solely being against war with Iran meant someone was Putin's puppet. Never. Either work on your reading comprehension or get your eyes checked.
What I did say is that those specific Republican members who are known Kremlin parrots conveniently oppose the war for ulterior motives. This much is clear.
