Over the next 30 days, Blinken and Austin said Israel must allow 350 aid trucks a day into Gaza. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said none have entered the strip in October so far and most aid organisations estimate that around 700 trucks a day are needed to meet basic survival needs.

The language in the letter suggests a tougher line than Washington has previously taken, although White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby insisted in a call with journalists on Tuesday that “the letter was not meant as a threat”. Kirby also added that it simply reiterated a position the administration had communicated to Israel in the past.

“From a humanitarian perspective, a 30-day deadline is basically a death sentence, especially for those in northern Gaza that are facing famine,” Natasha Hall, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told Middle East Eye.

With three weeks remaining until the US presidential election, Miller pushed back against suggestions that the timing of the letter was designed to shift attention to the new president-elect by the time the deadline arrives.

The US has spent much of the past year taking credit for what Palestinians say is highly inadequate aid reaching Gaza. The Biden administration attempted to build a humanitarian pier for goods off Gaza’s coast, but it failed and was dismantled due to weather conditions. It also tried airdrops, which proved deadly as recipients had to wade into deep water to retrieve the packages.

The Fabled Woods is a short narrative "walking simulator" that explores the lives of several strangers in the woods and how they're connected. While enjoying picturesque scenery and a short jaunt down a forested path, you're treated to the short tales of Larry, Sara, and Todd.

Larry suspects there's someone watching him in the woods, while Sara is investigating a crime scene in the woods.

As you listen to their individual stories, you'll get an option to "remember," which will turn everything dark red except for a glowing-red blood path pointing you toward an object. Taking hold of the object will take you to this dark floating path in a red sky, where you'll hear darker and more intimate details behind each person's life.

Todd's story will tie all the others together, explaining how each person is connected to each other. It's a pretty short game. While taking my time and exploring the beautiful imagery of the forest, it took me about an hour to complete. Most people say they're done in about 40 mins.

There were complaints on Steam that this game was way overpriced for its short and simple gameplay. The developers responded by permanently reducing the price. And it just so happens that it's currently 90% off right now, so if this sounds even remotely intriguing, you can get it for less than a buck until October 27th.

I always buy my Steam games on sale (which is how I could afford to buy over 3,500 of them over the years!) so I like to point out good deals if I find them. The story was mildly interesting at best, so it's definitely worth a buck. I probably wouldn't pay more than that, personally.

Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".

Title pretty much says it all. When I watched the Sadness I learned, much to my surprise, that I sort of have limits where the gore becomes a bit too much.

That being said, that movie was on another level of impressively realistic horribleness happening for about two straight hours. Terrifier seems more Western and classic blood and stuff but wondered if anyone had seen both and had thoughts?

I Got permanently banned from a subreddit I liked ,and was a long time member of because I accidentally reposted something that was already posted on there before. I tried to ask the mods about the perma ban but got no response

We all know about keeping track of passwords, not to trust the wrong people, don't feed trolls, use adblockers, use VPNs .etc

I'd like to know if anyone had some more minor ways to improve one's experience online. I have one.

One is, is that sometimes not reading the comments on generally anything is a long-term benefit. I say this because, a lot of the time, like on YouTube, people just whore out stupid things like "WHO'S WATCHING IN 2024 GAIS?!". And it's just garbage reading that wastes your time. I also even avoid reading comments on Rule34 because a lot of time I just visualize overweight guys just oozing oils and smelling foul. All the while naked at home saying shit like "uhh huhuh i'd fuck her hard and fuck her brains out! I'm such a naughty boy!". Like, they'd be lucky if they can even see their pecker under so many folds.

What I'm trying to say though is that, decide what you feel is worth reading the comments to than reading everything. It helps you go through things faster. Not everyone has interesting things to say, it just depends what content you come across. If it's porn, not worth reading all the cringe-inducing comments of people failing at dirty talk. If it's an article and you have curiosity, then feel free.

The Biden administration has warned Israel that it faces possible punishment, including the potential stopping of US weapons transfers, if it does not take immediate action to let more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

A letter written jointly by Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, and Lloyd Austin, the defence secretary, exhorts Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to ease humanitarian suffering in the territory by lifting restrictions on the entry of assistance within 30 days or face unspecified policy “implications”.

The four-page missive, dated 13 October, was sent to Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defence minister, and Ron Dermer, the strategic affairs minister, and came to light after being posted on social media by Barak Ravid, an Israeli journalist who works for Axios, after apparently being leaked.
