"Publicly available government contracts show that Israel’s advertising bureau, which reports to the prime minister’s office, has since embarked on a mass advertising and public messaging effort to conceal the hunger crisis. The push includes the use of American influencers widely reported on last month. It also includes a high-dollar spending spree on paid advertising, yielding tens of millions for Google, YouTube, X, Meta, and other tech platforms.
“There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie,” asserted a propaganda video published by Israel’s foreign ministry to Google’s YouTube video sharing platform in late August and viewed more than 6 million times. Much of the video’s reach results from an ad placed during an ongoing and previously unreported $45 million (NIS 150 million) advertising campaign initiated between Google and Netanyahu’s office in late June. The contract—which is with both YouTube and Google's advertising campaign management platform, Display & Video 360—explicitly characterizes the ad campaign as hasbara, a Hebrew word whose meaning is somewhere between public relations and propaganda.
Records show that the Israeli government similarly spent $3 million (NIS 10 million) for an advertising campaign with X. The French and Israeli advertising platform Outbrain/Teads is also set to receive roughly $2.1 million (NIS 7 million)."

Does anyone still remember "FURY 3" ? As one of the earliest titles for Windows 95, it was used extensively in Microsoft's advertising campaign for the system. The game is actually fairly simple and runs smoothly even within an 86Box VM!

I absolutely remember Fury³. It was sort of a followup to Terminal Velocity and a really fun game for its time. Though even then I hated the fact that your ship could never ever stop. Seemed really stupid when you're shooting at an unmoving target.
The game also had great music, though the surround effect was mostly just weird (didn't sound surroundy to me anyway.)
Actually, Terminal Velocity recently got a remake with ports to systems like the Switch. Now that was out of the blue!

Last Flag Flying actually exceeded my very tall expectations.
And I mean tall. With a cast like Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, and Laurence Fishburne, you’d already assume this would deliver. Add Richard Linklater—yes, the guy behind Slacker, Dazed and Confused, and Waking Life—and the bar shoots into the stratosphere.
Yet what he turns in here is one of his most conventional films. Not a head trip, not a cinematic experiment—just a straight-up, well-cooked meal. Think less molecular gastronomy, more perfectly grilled steak.
The setup: it’s 2003, and a grief-stricken ex-Navy Corpsman Larry “Doc” Shepherd (Carell) reconnects with his old Vietnam buddies—ex-Marine loudmouth Sal Nealon (Cranston) and buttoned-up Reverend Richard Mueller (Fishburne)—to bring Doc’s son home after he’s killed in Iraq.
That’s heavy material, but Linklater isn’t interested in a grim war movie. Instead, he gives us a road trip comedy-drama where the fireworks come from putting a holy man and a barfly in the same car and letting them go at each other for two hours.
Cranston dials Sal up to 11—he’s reckless, vulgar, and eternally needling. Fishburne matches him with quiet fire as the Rev, exuding dignity until he finally snaps. Their banter is where the film sings.
There’s that unforgettable U-Haul scene: Sal sneers about a rapper on the radio, asking Mueller if he feels ashamed of his race. Without missing a beat, Mueller flips it—because the rapper is Eminem. Sal, now on the back foot, gets roasted. It’s Linklater’s gift: letting a scene unfold like a conversation you could’ve overheard on a long drive.
Carell, meanwhile, is the quiet heart of the movie. He plays Doc like a man already hollowed out by grief. He rarely raises his voice, but when he smiles—it’s like sunlight breaking through after days of storm clouds. It’s the kind of restrained performance that makes the louder ones pop even more.
Of course, standing in their way is the uptight Lt. Col. Willits (Yul Vázquez), who embodies the military’s obsession with appearances. He wants Doc’s son buried in Arlington with a polished story about heroic sacrifice. The vets know better. They’ve been lied to before, and they’re not about to let history repeat itself. That push-and-pull—truth vs. propaganda, dignity vs. authority—gives the film its backbone.
And yet, for all its darkness, Last Flag Flying keeps bursting back into humor and soul. There are cell phone mishaps, road trip detours, and old men griping about the modern world. Cicely Tyson even shows up for a brief scene that absolutely breaks your heart.
Linklater himself said this isn’t really a war movie—it’s a road movie. That tracks. It’s about aging vets wrestling with what their service really meant, and how the ripples of war never stop spreading.
In fact, this whole story began as a sequel to Darryl Ponicsan’s novel The Last Detail (famously adapted by Hal Ashby with Jack Nicholson in ’73). Linklater couldn’t make an official sequel—rights tangles, Navy vs. Marines, all that—but he captured the spirit. Call it a “spiritual sequel” if you will.
Sure, the film can drag when it leans too hard into the “war is hell” sermon. But it always redeems itself with lived-in humanity. It never preaches so much as lets three men argue their way through grief, faith, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
I’ll put it this way: if I ever met these guys in real life, I’d happily sit down, crack open a non-alcoholic beer, and let the stories roll. Because this isn’t really about war—it’s about friendship, pain, and the strange joy of finding people who can still laugh with you even when life has knocked you down.
Thats nice.
A kind thing to do.
Should we remind ourselves,
to aim for a FIX!
So that we dont have to do this AFTER,

I remember back in 2016 when stories like the one below started appearing in US newspapers. People were dying at growing rates, and not just any people, but specially *white* people, which is the sort of thing that isn’t supposed to happen in the US racial caste system.
They were dying of opioid overdoses or alcoholism or suicide, what researchers came to call “deaths of despair.”

"Some people in the antitrust world didn't see it that way. Out of a misguided kind of privacy nihilism, they called for Google to be forced to share the data it stole from us, so that potential competitors could tune their search tools on the monopolist's population-scale privacy violations.
And that is what the court has ordered.
As punishment for being convinced of obtaining and maintaining a monopoly, Google will be forced to share sensitive data with lots of other search engines. This will not secure competition for search, but it will certainly democratize human rights violations at scale.
Doubtless there will be loopholes in this data-sharing order. Google will have the right to hold back some of its data (that is, our data) if it is deemed "sensitive." This isn't so much a loophole as is a loopchasm.
(...)
This means that even if you like data-sharing as a remedy, you won't actually get the benefit you were hoping for. Instead, Google competitors will spend the next decade in court, fighting to get Google to comply with this order.
That's the main reason that we force monopolists to break up after they lose antitrust cases. We could put a bunch of conditions on how they operate, but figuring out whether they're adhering to those conditions and punishing them when they don't is expensive, labor-intensive and time consuming. This data-sharing wheeze is easy to do malicious compliance for, and hard to enforce. It is not an "administrable" policy:"

Police charge man and woman in connection with Scottish axe girl incident
Police Scotland has charged a man and a woman in connection with the young, axe-wielding Scottish girl who went viral online.
In late August, a 12-year-old Scottish girl was charged with possessing weapons after online rumors swirled that she was fending off a migrant man. She was seen brandishing an axe and a large knife on video.
The following week, both the accused immigrant and an alleged witness spoke out, providing conflicting accounts of the events in St Ann Lane, Dundee, Scotland.
Now, police have laid subsequent charges.
'They are thankful that everyone now knows the truth.'
In a statement to Blaze News, Police Scotland said, "Following extensive enquiries, a man and a woman have been charged in connection with an incident in St Ann Lane in Dundee, which was reported around 7:40 p.m. on Saturday, 23 August, 2025."
The statement added, "The circumstances will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal," otherwise known as Scotland's public prosecutor.
Police Scotland also said the 12-year-old girl who was previously charged for "being in possession of offensive weapons" will be referred to the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration, a government body that decides whether a child needs legal intervention from the state.
"Members of the public are again urged not to share misinformation about this incident or speculate on the circumstances," the statement concluded.
The new charges seemingly confirm allegations made in a witness testimony, as well as claims made online by a reporter who claims to have been in communication with the 12-year-old's family.
RELATED: Scottish axe girl was defending beaten 13-year-old, witness claims

Fatos Ali Dumana, the accused 21-year-old Bulgarian immigrant, had previously told the Daily Mail, "If I did hurt the girl, why didn't the police arrest me? They have done nothing to me."
He added, "They saw from the CCTV cameras from Farmfoods that she was stopping me go on my way to the shop."
Dumana also alleged that another bystander witnessed him being attacked and labeled a "f**king migrant."
"I did not hit them. I am a human, not an animal," he added.
At the same time, a TikTok user named Mayah, 13, said in a video testimony that she witnessed the incident personally. Mayah said she was with two sisters, Ruby, 13, and Lola, 12, the latter of whom was allegedly subjected to inappropriate remarks from a strange man.
As the altercation escalated, the alleged witness claimed that the man's sister attacked Ruby, causing head injuries and sending her to the hospital with a concussion.
"She has a severe concussion and swelling inside of her head," Mayah said.
It was at that point Lola allegedly brandished the weapons in an effort to protect her sister.
Neither Dumana's nor Mayah's testimonies have benefited from any further proof from witnesses, CCTV, or evidence from police, but an independent reporter — who says he has spoken with the family — now says he has concrete evidence to go along with the newly laid charges.
RELATED: Scottish police blame axe-wielding girl for altercation, reveal nationality of migrant
A reporter going by the online moniker Aesthetica claims to have been in contact with Lola's family and even to have helped her mother, Elaine Thomson, start a fundraiser.
Aesthetica told Blaze News exclusively that Police Scotland "confirmed to the family" that "Fatos Ali Dumana and his sister were the two people charged."
Police Scotland said they had "nothing further to add" when asked by Blaze News for the names, ages, and/or nationalities of the two adults who were charged. They also neither confirmed nor denied if Dumana was the man who was charged.
Blaze News also reached out to Dumana for comment about the alleged charges and the claims made by Aesthetica, but did not receive a reply.
Reporter Aesthetica provided an alleged hospital document to Blaze News, purported to be from Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, Scotland. The document is an attempt to prove that Ruby sought medical aid from injuries stemming from the altercation.
The document is addressed to a person with the alleged last name of Ruby and Lola. It shows treatment was provided for a "diagnosis" of a "head injury — concussion."
The photo also shows the examination was done to a "female, accompanied by mum," with a head injury again listed. The document said the patient attended the emergency room at 8:11 p.m. on August 23, 2025. This would be approximately 31 minutes following the incident described by police. The patient was discharged at 9:44 p.m.
"The hospital document was sent to Elaine Thomson, Lola and Ruby's mother, which was sent to [Mayah's mother], who sent it to me," Aesthetica explained to Blaze News.
The family has declined to speak publicly, out of fear of public backlash and for their own safety, according to Aesthetica. However, the reporter told Blaze News that the family is "relieved that their names have finally been cleared."
He added, "They are thankful that everyone now knows the truth and that they've been telling the truth the entire time."
The fundraiser has garnered approximately $120,000 at the time of this writing.
