Well it's good to see that Elon's visit to Israel did no good. I am horrified that Netanyahu welcomed him but not surprised. Netanyahu uses all sorts of reasons to justify the far right attacks on people of Jewish faith all over the world. He cozied up to Orban, made excuses from that horrific demonstration in Charlottesville, and even minimized the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue. It's just ridiculous to me to see US politicians going after Tik Toc and ignoring the cesspool of twitter and it's owner.

Perhaps other leaders will now feel “safe” to crawl out of the “global sewer” but I really don’t understand why some people didn’t recognize how truly awful a human being is Musk until now. Why didn’t these folks leave X when Musk took over the platform last year? He was just as awful last year at this time. It reminds me of all those folks who insisted that we all have a “wait and see” attitude when Trump was rising to power and even after his hideous inauguration speech, while some of us continually cited evidence of his racism and predatory behavior. At this point, I doubt that people will ever learn.

The optics of Musk and Netanyahu together in Israel are truly awful. It really appears that Gazans and Israelis have the worst leaders possible at this moment, leaders that seem bound to making sure that the people will be in continuous conflict, if not all out war. I peeped who Netanyahu was in his treatment of Obama ,who Netanyahu seemed to regard as being beneath him. I am at the point where I barely want to read a newspaper because I feel like I am constantly reading about leader after leader making ruinous decision after ruinous decision and then the people who keep them in power or threaten to elect even more extreme figures to replace them.

Credit where it is due to Kasie Hunt: She runs him down in this thread.

 

Embeds are failing, so I would post more about the WP buyout/layoffs and James Bennet's latest, insanely long screed in The Economist about how emotional liberals are to blame for him being fired from the Times over that infamous Tom Cotton op-ed, but I'll wait.

Well, this is odd.

Polish state TVP Info channel off air as Tusk reforms kick in

Not surprising that Polish TV news had been accused of airing manipulated clips and propaganda, given their previous leadership but that news anchor just walking off like that just seemed abrupt and a bit jarring.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!! 
    • We probably would if the writers bothered to write for them... but they've proven unable to write anything for them.  Even though Ashley has potential as a character.   @janea4oldMy theory is that Joey might end up being Ashley's father... but time will tell.
