Is Israel Playing Russian Roulette?

Israel said its ground troops crossed into Lebanon overnight, launching what the military described as “localized” raids to root out Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure.

Hezbollah denied Israeli troops had entered Lebanon, but hours later the Israeli army announced it had also carried out dozens of ground raids into southern Lebanon going back nearly a year.

Screwing Investors Just Doesn't Make Sense

Fidelity Investment slashed the value of its stake in X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, revealing a sharp decline since billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk’s acquisition in October 2022.

Recent disclosures from the investment firm (flagged by TechCrunch) show that Fidelity’s stake in X is now worth about $4.19 million, which prices the overall company at around $9.4 billion. The figure marks a drastic drop from the $19.6 million holding Fidelity initially invested before Musk’s takeover and nearly a 79% reduction in value.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned of an October surprise that will “distort and pervert” Vice President Harris...“I mean, look, I mean, the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement of a pizzeria,” Clinton said.

The comment evoked laughter from the crowd. “Pizzagate,” as the child sex trafficking conspiracy became known, resulted in a North Carolina man opening fire on a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor in 2016...“This is dangerous stuff. It starts online often on the dark web. It migrates. It’s picked up by the pro-Trump media. It’s then reported on by everybody else, which makes sure it has about 100 percent coverage, and people believe it,” Clinton said.

Heartbreaking. And This Type Of Hurricane Will Be More Frequent.

Short on supplies, power and patience, storm victims who saw the brutal force of Helene upend their lives have emerged to a new week, facing the daunting challenge of rebuilding.

Some of the roads and bridges they need to do the job aren’t there anymore. Electricity could be a week away or longer. Emergency services are stretched. Communications infrastructure is in shreds. And neighbors, some of whose own homes are gone, are helping neighbors – all the while worrying about the fate of those from whom they haven’t heard.

CNN will begin locking online content behind a paywall next month in an effort to increase revenue “as cable television erodes industrywide,” The New York Times reported on Thursday.

According to the Times, which cited two unnamed sources familiar with the network’s plans, CNN “will begin experimenting” with charging readers to gain access to online content in October “as part of a bid to shore up its business as cable television erodes industrywide.”

CNN was a nonpartisan network telling domestic and foreign news when it started losing its audience and a parade of clueless  buffoons came in to run things.
