What has been hard for me today was just seeing the reaction among American peers. I don't think it fundamentally changes the course of events. But the rhetoric around this is just so blatant and disgusting. People that at this point are skeptical that Israel is using targeting strikes in Gaza yet it would seem they want to believe this attack was sophisticated and brilliant like a movie or something.

We really are going to go out in the worst way imaginable and I learn a little more everyday what that looks like. I don't really know what I expected it all to look like, but as accurately as I "predict" everything that has transpired this year somehow my body still responds like it's surprised.

I quit a number of times. You just stop cold turkey and then hate everyone and everything for 3-5 days and then you're good until you start again

I go days at work without doing anything. I've also been laid off multiple times in my professional life. But, on the other hand, if I keep asking for work that calls attention to the fact that I have nothing to do.

By my estimation, half of white collar jobs are like this and everyone just engages in theater about how busy they are

I was just talking to my husband about this. Like, I don't believe there is some essential quality to any group of people or anything but it feels like Everytime a Jewish state in that place loses the religion just gets more ethnocentric and messianic and insane. Like the Talmud was spawned after Babylon, and the whole "one day we'll have 3000 slaves" fan fiction started with the Romans.

Should I short Motorola? Looks like they just entered the Indonesia market and in the US they are most popular among 18-30 year olds

It makes their population feel in control.

I'm inclined to agree. At the very least, these particular devices must have been tampered with, because I'm sure they know of plenty of resistance fighters cell phones any haven't exploded those yet.

The psychological implication they want to convey is that they can explode and personal device but that's clearly not true.

Can somebody provide me a basic timeline for the last 48 hours on the ME front? Israel declared war on or initialized something with Lebanon and then Tel Aviv was bombed?

What's their "portfolio" consist of? Is it a lot of land holdings and gold backed shit?

I wonder if this was a more modern type of missile?
