Comments: Protests across Muslim world on ‘day of rage’ Most of my Muslim coworkers called in sick today! I can’t tell if they are actually sick or it’s related to the day of rage! I certainly hope they don’t get in trouble for doing this.

The USS Carney, a US navy destroyer sailing in the northern Red Sea, intercepted the missiles that had been fired by Houthi forces, which have been fighting an insurgent war against Yemen’s Saudi-backed regime for several years. Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon spokesperson, said the US military “cannot say for sure” where the missiles and drones were headed, but they were launched from Yemen and were heading north over the Red Sea, in the direction of Israel. Ryder said there were no known casualties for the US or to any civilians on the ground. The intercepts come amid rising tensions in the region between Iran and Iranian-backed militants and US-backed allies in Israel and the Gulf following Hamas’s assault on Israeli civilians. Hamas is supported by Iran, as is Hizbollah, the militant group based in southern Lebanon, which saw a sharp rise in shelling on Thursday. The US has sent two aircraft carrier groups to the region in an effort to deter Iran, and US officials — including President Joe Biden — have said publicly that the show of force was intended to send a warning to Tehran if it escalated hostilities. The USS Carney is part of the first strike force, led by the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, to arrive in the region. Despite American efforts, Ryder said the shoot-down was only the latest sign that the US was seeing a rise in attacks, including an “uptick in terms of the types of drone activity” in Iraq and Syria, amid increased fighting between Israel and Hamas. Ryder said the Al Tanf base in Syria, manned by US and allied forces, was targeted early on Wednesday by two drones. US forces destroyed one drone and the second drone hit the base, resulting in minor injuries. A day earlier, US forces defended against drone attacks in Iraq. “We will take all necessary actions to defend US and coalition forces against any threat,” Ryder said. “Any response, should one occur, will come at a time and a manner of our choosing.” US defence secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with counterparts in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel in an effort to prevent further escalation.
Comments: ‘Might as well die in my own house’: Gaza people return home Some Palestinians who initially moved south in response to the Israeli order to evacuate “to save themselves” are returning to their homes because Israeli strikes are taking place in the south, too. “We remain very concerned that Israeli forces’ heavy strikes are continuing across Gaza, including in the south,” UN spokesperson for its human rights office Ravina Shamdasani told reporters. “The strikes, coupled with extremely difficult living conditions in the south, appear to have pushed some to return to the north, despite the continuing heavy bombing there.” Shamdasani cited one unidentified Palestinian as saying, “I might as well die in my own house.”
Comments: Faramarz, San Diego has been getting more and more expensive in the past 10-15 years. It seems most metropolitan cities are getting more expensive in general. Coastal areas in particular are becoming increasingly unaffordable. Population growth and lack of affordable housing is a major issue being discussed in most major cities. I remember when I first came to America and while living in DC area, it was a big discussion about how minorities are being pushed out of the city due to cost of living. They were pushed further and further out into suburbs. Then suburbs became too expensive and they were pushed farther out. It’s not a US issue but a worldwide problem.

Comments: The futuristic world as envisioned in 1930. These visions of the future are part of collector's album issued in 1930 by Echte Wagner, a German margarine company which issued several albums of cards between the world wars. Each image comes with an explainer on the verso. 
Comments: Agha zinsky, I have voted on and off. This time I am also leaning toward off. Too much shit show. Democrats are just pussies, bending over backwards to slightest pressure!
Comments: This was an exciting game with four balls hitting the post and a bunch of (may be 7) clearance off the line or saving a tak be tak situation by the keepers. Lots of action!
Comments: Another one term president! I’m sitting the next election out. US President Joe Biden has delivered a televised speech on the US response to Hamas's attack against Israel He said he will ask US Congress for billions of dollars in funding for Israel and Ukraine, saying abandoning the US allies was "just not worth it" But he urged Israeli leaders to learn from US mistakes after the 9/11 attacks and to avoid being "blinded by rage" Biden's speech comes after his whirlwind trip to Israel and after an agreement was reached with Egypt to allow some aid to enter Gaza Gaza remains under siege, with Israel blocking supplies of water, electricity, food and fuel across its border The most serious escalation in the conflict in decades erupted on 7 October, when Hamas attacked, killing more than 1,400 people More than 3,700 people have been killed in Gaza since then, the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory says

Comments: Don’t American if you are traveling overseas. Act like any other tourist!!! The U.S. State Department issued a rare "worldwide caution" alert on Thursday for U.S. citizens overseas amid increased tension over the Israel-Hamas war. The alert advises U.S. citizens to "exercise increased caution" due to "the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests." Protests erupted at U.S. and Israeli embassies around the world, including those in Tunisia, Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco, after a deadly hospital blast in Gaza City killed hundreds on Tuesday. Israeli and Palestinian officials traded accusations over who was responsible for the devastating explosion.
Comments: As expected, Israel went too far and made most of the world against them. For a week or so, most of the world supported some sort of retaliation against the attack by Hamas but now and after nearly 10,000 rockets fired and over 3,000 Gaza civilians killed, it is becoming too much.
Comments: The heavy blow the Resistance inflicted on Israel and it's supporters is making the neocons depressed. Here is the 'marja taghlid' of the neocons singing a requiem('roozeh') for the defeat and predicting a 'meltdown' in the US.
