"This is how Dr. Yuval Bitton remembers the morning of Oct. 7. Being jolted awake just after sunrise by the insistent ringing of his phone. The frantic voice of his daughter, who was traveling abroad, asking, 'Dad, what’s happened in Israel? Turn on the TV.' ... Even in that first moment, Dr. Bitton says, he knew with certainty who had masterminded the attack: Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza and Inmate No. 7333335 in the Israeli prison system from 1989 until his release in a prisoner swap in 2011. But that was not all. Dr. Bitton had a history with Yahya Sinwar. As he watched the images of terror and death flicker across his screen, he was tormented by a decision he had made nearly two decades before — how, working in a prison infirmary, he had come to the aid of a mysteriously and desperately ill Mr. Sinwar, and how afterward the Hamas leader had told him that 'he owed me his life.'" All the connections and histories associated with the Middle East crisis can't possibly be narrowed down to one book, one article, one placard, or certainly not one social media post. In the NYT (Gift Article) Jo Becker and Adam Sella piece together one (of a million) defining moments in this endlessly painful saga; history's open wound that infects the world and never seems to heal. The Hamas Chief and the Israeli Who Saved His Life. 2Substance Abuse"Late last week, the governor of Louisiana signed into law a bill that marks a first in the battle over reproductive rights in America: The state will categorize mifepristone and misoprostol, medication commonly used in abortions, as controlled dangerous substances. Possessing the drugs without a valid prescription will be a criminal offense that could carry up to 10 years in prison." The Atlantic (Gift Article): A Chilling Effect of Louisiana’s Abortion Law. 3Some of Them Want to Recuse You"I am therefore duty-bound to reject your recusal request." The thing about being a Supreme Court Justice (especially in this Court) is that you get to make your own rulings ... and rules. And "Justice Samuel Alito is rejecting calls to step aside from Supreme Court cases involving former President Donald Trump and Jan. 6 defendants because of the controversy over flags that flew over his homes." 4Suspicious Minds"Since the news broke last week that a company was trying to sell Graceland — Elvis Presley’s former home and a beloved tourist attraction in Memphis — the Naussany company has been a persistent puzzle. It is difficult to find any public records that prove that the company exists. Phone numbers listed in court documents for the company are not in service. Addresses listed by the company are those of post offices." You know those weird emails we all used to get from Nigeria asking us for money? Well an even weirder email from Nigeria just came pretty close to selling Graceland. Luckily, the court hit Return to Sender before it was too late. NYT (Gift Article): Who Plotted to Sell Graceland? An Identity Thief Raises His Hand. 5Extra, ExtraYou Talking to Me? "From 1819 to 1969, tens of thousands of children were sent to more than 500 boarding schools across the country, the majority run or funded by the U.S. government. Children were stripped of their names, their long hair was cut, and they were beaten for speaking their languages, leaving deep emotional scars on Native American families and communities. By 1900, 1 out of 5 Native American school-age children attended a boarding school. At least 80 of the schools were operated by the Catholic Church or its religious affiliates." Sadly, you can guess what happened.

Falling asleep, however, leads to disqualification. Organisers monitor the participants’ heart rates; the contestant with the most stable heart rate wins." Much ado about nothing: world’s most relaxed people gather in Seoul for ‘space-out’ competition.
