From another article Hamas Gives 'Initial Positive Confirmation' On Truce Plan: Qatar - Barron's they say:

"That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas' side," Majed al-Ansari told an audience at a Washington-based graduate school.

A source close to Hamas said, however, that there was still no consensus on the proposal.

"There is no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet... and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true," the source told AFP in Gaza.

If that's your take on my comment(s), I would suggest you take a 2nd look at them.

Wasn’t it 12 like a day or two ago?

That's my understanding.

In an ap article of the 29th they say:

DETAILED ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UNRWA WORKERS
The Israeli document, which has been shared with U.S. officials and was obtained by The Associated Press, lists 12 people, their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos. The findings detailed in the document could not be independently confirmed.
The document said intelligence gathered showed that at least 190 UNRWA workers were Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, without providing evidence.
It said of the 12 workers, nine were teachers and one a social worker. Seven of the employees were accused of crossing into Israel on Oct. 7. Of those, one was accused of taking part in a kidnapping, another of helping to take away a dead soldier and three others of participating in the attacks. (...)

The numbers mentioned in the posted article I first saw them on a wsg piece co-written by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel which has some ties with the IDF, to be more precise the IDF spokesperson unit. (Relevant link from twitter).

[edit: I tried looking for her linkedin profile for more details, which appears in the results as: Carrie Keller-Lynn - The Wall Street Journal | LinkedIn but I get Profile Not Found - An exact match for caroline-keller-lynn could not be found. for now at least.

The following is related to SMRs:

Why Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Won’t Help Counter the Climate Crisis || By Arjun Makhijani, Ph.D. and M.V. Ramana, Ph.D.

And on the problem of Indutrialization some elements can be found here:
What Are Some of the Drawbacks of Industrialization? - Investopedia

Summary of "Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism" by David Harvey

Would the above satisfy you @JungleJim?

To my understanding we don't have an energy problem. We have a problem of industrialization in combination with global capitalistic tendencies. No wonder the article mentions the following:

The International Energy Agency, which outlined what many experts say is the world’s most realistic plan to decarbonize, sees a need to more than double nuclear energy by 2050.

Also, taking into consideration how dangerous nuclear accidents are, not only I don't feel any safer with this technology -no matter how much it is praised- I feel literally scared when I hear statements like:

But a nuclear renaissance is coming, the IEA says.

Not surprising that one of the authors Carrie Keller-Lynn is a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel

Anything pro-israel is highly credible. /s

That's what mediafactcheck says for times of israel. lol
They even classify it as left-center. lol

This is a totally pro-israel organization.

Check out this passage from wiki:

UN Watch is active at the UN in combating what it considers anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attitudes, and what it dubs the selective and politicized treatment of Israel by many UN bodies.[55] The group supported former Secretary General Kofi Annan's declared goal of ending the UN's imbalanced treatment of Israel[56] and has been highly critical of the United Nations Human Rights Council.[6][7][57] The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has described U.N. Watch as a pro-Israel organization.[58]

It’s unclear how the liquidation order will affect Evergrande’s vast operations in the Chinese mainland. As a former British colony, Hong Kong operates under a legal system that is separate, though increasingly influence by, communist-ruled China’s.
In some cases, mainland courts have recognized bankruptcy rulings in Hong Kong but analysts say Evergrande’s is something of a test case.

Let's see how that goes?

Not the Onion material

7 is about rape. You talk about sexual abuse. They are not synonyms.

Also, in the link above the following passage might interest you:

As McIntosh points out, men also tend to be unaware of their own privileges as men. In the spirit of McIntosh’s
essay, I thought I’d compile a list similar to McIntosh’s, focusing on the invisible privileges benefitting men.
Due to my own limitations, this list is unavoidably U.S.-centric. I hope that writers from other cultures will create
new lists, or modify this one, to reflect their own experiences.

At first, it may be hard to recognise the privileges patriarchy gives men. Totally worth taking them into consideration, especially if we want equality in society.

The top diplomats from both South American nations held talks hosted by Brazil, pledging to use diplomacy to settle differences.

I like the path these two countries decided to take in December. It sounds like the best way to handle disputes over oil and/or colonial borders. [Leaders of Venezuela and Guyana agree to avoid use of force in land dispute CNN]

I am totally glad they are still on it.
