While Trump and Kushner both have envisioned wealthy resort concepts,
most of the international community wishes to see Gaza rebuilt as a livable home for its 2.1 million Palestinian residents.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to control half of the Gaza Strip,
and has said it will forbid reconstruction on the half overseen by Hamas until the group disarms.

Two former Doge officials were dispatched to the region as planning for postwar Gaza ramped up this fall.

One was Josh Gruenbaum,
an appointee to the General Services Administration now serving as a senior adviser to the Gaza taskforce.

The other was Adam Hoffman,
a 25-year-old Princeton graduate, who joined Elon Musk’s Doge efforts last March.

Two people who have dealt directly with the junior adviser say that Hoffman has become a driving force in the newest plans.

“The impression is that whatever those guys say is going to happen,”
said a person familiar with the process.

Even before finishing college, Hoffman briefly worked in Trump’s first administration at the Council of Economic Advisors.

At Princeton, he alleged there was antisemitism on campus after a prominent critic of the Israeli government was invited to speak at a solidarity event with Gaza.

Three sources familiar with the process say Hoffman has been soliciting ideas for a new logistics scheme in Gaza.

The Guardian has reviewed a planning document, which the sources say was circulated by Hoffman,
that details a new “Gaza Supply System Logistics Architecture”.

Labeled “Sensitive but Unclassified”,
Hoffman’s planning document calls for a
“Master Contractor” to supply 600 humanitarian and commercial truckloads to Gaza per day.

It suggests charging a $2,000 fee for every humanitarian load and a $12,000 fee to commercial trucks.

By operating as a licensing entity,
the contractor could “earn a fair return”
off humanitarian and commercial clients entering Gaza, the document says.

If a “Master Contractor” performs apace, the Guardian estimates that they could gross $1.7bn a year on trucking fees alone.

¿Sabían que en 1989 una mujer llamó a la policía porque un conejo gigante la estaba acosando? 🐰🚔

Suena a mal viaje de película, pero pasó en Austria. La mujer juraba que un conejo de casi un metro de altura la perseguía por la calle, la miraba fijamente desde las esquinas y hasta le "hacía gestos". 🤨

La policía llegó pensando que la señora estaba loca, ¡pero se encontraron al conejo! Resulta que no era una alucinación, sino un Conejo Gigante de Flandes que se había escapado de una granja cercana. El bicho era tan grande que la gente pensaba que era un perro con orejas largas o un niño disfrazado. 🥕💨

¿Ustedes qué harían si un conejo del tamaño de un niño los empieza a seguir? 😂👇

Today's environmental GOOD NEWS!

The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1

The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed.

Ozone hole finally closed on December 1 — Experts know "it will reopen soon" but there's

The ozone hole closed on December 1, and although experts warn it will reopen soon, emerging data offers real hope for long-term healing of Earth’s atmosphere.

Dave Winer, @davew is basically the inventor of RSS and I take the chance to mention him as I am doing my best to be an RSS advocate with my own possibilities and limits, even with non-technical people who don't understand why I insist in "so complex things" when "commercial platforms give you everything in an instant".
I talked about ActivityPub and RSS during my last WordCamp, Pisa -Italy- 22nd November 2025. Italian, unfortunately; I'll share my talk when it's out on WordPress TV but I fear there won't be English subtitles.

But I limited what I wanted to say because a word could violate WordPress's code of conduct.
It's nothing obscene, it's the metaphoric name of an anchor-stone. But in Venice they call it "coion", like the vulgar word for testicle. It's basically a round stone structure which firmly anchors the arch of a bridge, to its vertical support. It's invisible to human eyes, people even don't know it exists. But it allows Venetian bridges to resist for centuries. It's fundamental. But if for a reason or another it becomes visible, it means that the bridge is damaged.
Same way of a linchpin for a wheel.

This word is even used for a person. When someone is essential for a community, determines its success too, but if they get attention or ask for visibility, they could even become an obstacle. Or they are treated as such. No idea if the word corresponding to "coion" for a person has the same idea in English. I have found "moron" but I don't know if it's the same.
Basically, when you are important and have not a very strong personality, so you let others treat you as invisible, they consider you as always available, always granted. And treat you badly if you raise your hand and say "I'm here too"; they immediately send you back to your place.

RSS is treated the same: many of commercial platform users don't even know about its existence but without RSS, no newspaper or whatever social pages sharing news automatically, could fetch contents.
I agree with Dave when he says that RSS is more important than ActivityPub. Simply RSS can work without ActivityPub but often not vice-versa.

OK I’m VERY late to the RetroArch emulation + shaders party but I enabled this CRT shader on my plasma TV and it’s as close to perfect as you can get. The black levels of this TV match those of CRTs and expensive OLEDs. It’s a fantastic way to experience 8 & 16 bit games

Anche oggi una giornata perfetta per il giro in MTB, ma anche uno strano incontro 😅
Dopo racconto.

Questa è la parte più bella, in inverno, dove il bosco finisce e si esce sul prato al sole.

Dans l’Italie du XVIIIe siècle, les femmes s’insurgeaient contre le harcèlement sexiste et sexuel subi dans les confessionnaux

theconversation.com/dans-lital…

Blagues obscènes, questions intrusives, gestes déplacés : les archives inquisitoriales du Vatican montrent que le harcèlement sexuel au confessionnal était une réalité pour de nombreuses femmes dans l’Italie du XVIIIᵉ siècle – et que certaines ont osé le signaler.

Habe eine tolle DM bekommen, die ich natürlich nicht teilen werde. Aber ich möchte dazu noch etwas sagen. Als Anwältin, die in ihrem Berufsleben reichlich (!) #Sozialrecht gemacht hat, halte ich mich für qualifiziert, zu sagen: Die Diskussion um #Sanktionen und Sozialleistungen wäre eine andere, wenn mehr Menschen eine Ahnung hätten, wie sich #Hartz4 ganz konkret anfühlt; zuhause in den Familien, an prekären Arbeitsplätzen, in den Schulen, in der Psyche der Betroffenen und deren Familien
