ISRAEL REALTIME — war updates

Mid-day

— HUGE ROCKET BARRAGE from GAZA… Tel Aviv and surrounds, including the airport. (1:30 PM) — HIT, Petach Tikva, causing damage and a fire - no injuries.

— TELEGRAM INCITER ARRESTED… East Jerusalem channels report that Eyad Abu Damos, a resident of Ezaria, who owns an extremely active Telegram channel with almost a million (!) followers, has been placed under administrative arrest in Israel. He often publishes inflammatory content against Israel.

— AID… Today - 12 aid trucks that included water, food and medical equipment. In Gaza, it is reported that since the beginning of the war, 74 trucks of humanitarian aid have entered the Strip (many of the double-trailer semis).

— TUBAS FIREFIGHTS (North East Shomron / West Bank)… Arab channels publishing videos (not shared here) of 2 hour firefights with IDF.

— ECONOMY, G-CITY… The business space company informed its tenants that the rent for the month of October will be charged based on the revenue of the businesses, and that at this stage no charge will be made for the month of November.

— DEPUTY FINANCE MINISTER… MK Waldiger of Religious Zionism resigns from her position to focus on her area of ​​expertise - mental rehabilitation. Requests to transfer the budget of her office to the war effort.

— JUSTICE & INTERIOR MINISTERS SAY… "In view of the war, it was agreed to immediately advance legislation that would see the execution of terror actions or incitement, as an aggravating circumstance for the purpose of denying citizenship or residency.”

— US BASES ATTACKED… US bases in Syria and Iraq repeatedly attacked over the last 24 hours, 20-30 soldiers injured (CNN), some evacuated to medical care in Germany. Most recent attack: 12:45 PM A rocket attack on the US airbase Al Shadadi located in northern Syria.

— DELAY ANALYSIS… (Arab Desk - 100% speculation with experience) Why does the US not respond? What is this waiting for defense systems? Answer: The US currently has forces that can deliver such a severe blow to both Syria and Iraq at the same time that they don't have to wait for anything. But it is better to wait for more equipment and more defensive and offensive systems to arrive, another two days or another week, the reaction can wait. The explanation is simple, once it starts it will be impossible to stop - better to have resources in place. Israel and the US are coordinated, neither side will surprise the other because either’s actions can trigger the greater region.

Journalist B N Uniyal was the first to train the spotlight on caste in Indian media, through his piece 'In Search of a Dalit Journalist', which was published in The Pioneer on November 16, 1996. A foreign reporter had asked Uniyal for an introduction to a Dalit journalist. Uniyal realised he did not know one. He analysed 454 caste surnames of 686 journalists accredited by the Press Information Bureau. There was not a single Dalit among them. He called up 47 of the remaining 232 accredited journalists—and still drew a blank. To celebrate the dawn of the new millennium, The Pioneer invited Uniyal to write for its eight-page Dalit supplement. He sent them the 1996 piece with the following addition: “The article…was totally ignored by our journalistic establishment… None felt aghast or alarmed at the situation described in the article.”

420 All Month: Hyperion, and the Unrelated First Time I Smoked Weed

420 All Month: Hyperion, and the Unrelated First Time I Smoked Weed.

SativaModerately High THC (22% – 26%)Flower I will admit, Hyperion has been vexing me. It’s so good, but every time I’ve sat down to write a review for it (having just smoked it or otherwise) I haven’t been able to come up with anything interesting to write about other than the descriptive part of the review itself. Now, I have written some of these reviews having had no idea when I sat down…

What’s your favorite time of day? I would have to say that mid/late morning is probably my favorite time of day. Lunches without a doubt, my favorite meal of the day. I am an early bird, but that is only because of my career. I teach so it’s necessary that I get up early in the morning. One of the nice things about teaching, especially if you teach the same subject multiple times throughout the…

Im of the full (possibly delusional) belief that Durge is not the species that they physically appear to be.

You’re telling me this being crafted from nothing but bhaal’s flesh and his blood - this demigod - is actually a dragonborn/tiefling/human/elf/etc.

No. This thing is bhaal’s flesh and it just happens to look like that. They’re an imitation of a species, they’re not truly a (full)mortal being, they have no heritage aside from bhaal.

As a result I’m sure there’s some…oddities.

For example, a demigod child, not fully mortal. I doubt they adhere to the lifespan of whatever species they look like. Looking younger than they should. (less so perhaps with long lived races like elfs and half-elves where that is par for the course).

A dragonborn durge that by all accounts looks like a blue dragonborn but their breathweapon is acid. A tiefling durge that seems to be a Mephistopheles tiefling but they cannot cast mage hand, instead smiting like a zariel bloodline tiefling.

An elf or tiefling durge that doesn’t read as fey or infernal trough identification spells. Because they aren’t either of those things. Perhaps they could read as divine but not quite.

Members of a race that durge is supposed to be looking at them and sometimes when making eye contact they read as wrong. And some kind of uncanny effect triggers in their brain.

Give me more freaky durge who isn’t really what they appear to be at all. Just a little murder demigod crafted from dead god flesh to be the shape of something else.

ISRAEL REALTIME — war news - mid day

— NY MAYOR… New York City will send medical aid to Israel as a measure of solidarity and support.

— THE TOLL… 798 civilians were murdered in the war and have been identified, which is about 84% of the martyrs who were murdered in the invasion and whose bodies have been brought for identification. 697 martyrs have been brought to burial so far.

— THE BUDGET… The budget of the Jewish National Identity Authority of MK Avi Maoz will be transferred to help the evacuees. MK Avi Maoz is the third in the coalition whose ministry funds that were intended for his missions are transferred to benefit the needs of the war. 

— POLITICS… Israeli Arab parties Ra’am and United Arab List voted against a bill to combat the consumption of terrorist content (via social media) in Israel.  The police have been particularly active in arresting those publishing such content or support content for Hamas within Israel during the war.

— THE ZIKIM ATTACK… IDF announces 2 terrorists killed last night.  Previous unofficial reports ranges from 4 to 11.

— DRUZE VS ISRAEL ARABS… A huge fight broke out in a school in Ma’ar in the north.  A group of Israeli Arabs were protesting for Hamas, the Druze students took exception and a large fight broke out.  13 arrested, 4 injured.

— AN AIRLINE RETURNS… Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian Airlines) returns to fly to Israel starting this Thursday, October 27. The first flight from Tel Aviv will depart on October 28, at 02:20.

— IDF PUBLISHES TERRORIST MOTIVATION AND INSTRUCTION NOTE (gruesome warning) … a handwritten note was found on a terrorist body.  It is an order to kill Jews, words of encouragement, encouragement to carry out a merciless massacre while receiving inspiration from leaders in Muslim history who became a symbol of jihad. The terrorists are encouraged to decapitate, remove hearts and livers, and repeat the massacres of historical Muslim leaders who massacred men, sold women and children into slavery and looted cities.

Many Dalits enter the media in the hope of empowering their community; they have a greater presence in the Hindi and other languages media than the English media; caste-based antagonism and discrimination are more rampant in the former category of media outlets than the latter; their experience of discrimination is a crucial factor behind their decision to quit journalism; and they prefer government jobs (Doordarshan, for instance) as their weak economic base makes them averse to the privately owned media, where jobs are rarely permanent.
