Developing new drugs for things like snake bites has been a slow and laborious process. But AI is helping scientists make discoveries more quickly. NPR has more: https://flip.it/2gDaqv

In the last 20 years, I’ve read only one mostly fair and balanced unpacking of the fundamentals behind the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It was this one, by Max Fisher. It’s 8 years old, but still mostly current.

I urge everyone, especially you GenZs who are new to this ongoing tragedy to read it. It’s important to know what’s real, what’s myth, and what’s complete bullshit. Dare I say it? “On both sides.”

"We in the health sector are realising the true horror of what is happening here – that no one is safe. Not families in their homes, and not first responders in ambulances. My eldest son, who is nine years old, asked me whether if he died he would go to heaven or hell. This broke my heart in half." Mahmoud Shalabi, Gaza director for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

New discovery: 5,000-year-old wine jars discovered in the tomb of the #Egyptian queen Meret-Neith (first dynasty). Some of them are still sealed.

Forget the lie about EU money for Hamas. For ordinary Palestinians, the aid is a lifeline
Brussels is right to backtrack on its threats – cutting the territories’ largest aid package would only inflame the crisis
That suspending aid was even considered, and remains a possibility, is mind-boggling. If the goal is to punish Hamas, stopping European aid makes no sense. The EU and its member states do not fund Hamas.

We all understand the urge to retaliate, but all this punishing war against Gaza will do is generate recruitment videos for Hamas. Israel claims their motive it to “crush” Hamas, but they know full well that urban combatants are almost impossible to separate from the civilians they look exactly like. And most of them are young people who have grown up knowing only a brutal occupation. Each one killed just radicalizes their families. This is just an act vengeance, not a rational strategy.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is: https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com/

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

Cheers!
