I'm watching Round and Round and as far as Hallmark movies go this is definitely one of the better ones. Hanukkah time loop movie makes it unique at least.

On my quarterly rewatch of Leverage and, honestly, fam?
We don’t talk about the implications behind “No, no. For Parker. Can you do it?” nearly enough
My fannish heart just melts every. goddamn. time.

WIP Wednesday
This is from a Steter WIP I'm calling The Long Game :)
~
“If even Greenberg’s landed someone, you can tell the good ones are gonna be gone by the time everyone else is ready to settle down,” Stiles jokes. “Better figure your shit out now, Stilinski.” “Yeah. I really need a plan. One of those pact things. My Best Friend’s Wedding style. Marriage by age 30, you know what I mean?” He’s lost Erica to her phone again. “Never seen it,” she says, bored. Scott nods sagely. He knows the film well—it was a favorite of Stiles’s mom, and they both sat through at least a dozen rewatches. "The problem for me is," Stiles continues, "who would I even do it with?” “Isaac’s available,” Erica says. “Ew." “What? Whatever you're saying, fuck off,” Isaac calls from the kitchen, his voice only loud for Stiles’s benefit. Stiles snickers. When he glances over, he finds Peter’s eyes slit open. Watchful. “Okay then, Peter, it’s you and me, bud,” he jokes. “Fine,” Peter replies at once. Stiles cocks his head, kind of incredulous. And maybe, because this is Peter, just a tiny bit suspicious too. “That was fast. No objections to walking me down the aisle, creeperwolf?” “Why not?” Peter gives a lazy shrug, like he really could not care less about this stupid joke. He lays his head back down and closes his eyes, going right back to feigning his little nap. “See you in eight years.”

Update post:
Yesterday, the identification of two bodies brought back to Israel from Gaza by IDF soldiers to Israel was completed.
Tumblr media
The victims were identified as 36 years old Ziv Dado, who was murdered on Oct 7, and his body was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas, and 27 years old Eden Zecharia, who according to one Israeli journalist, was kidnapped alive. If this is true, it means Eden was murdered in captivity.
Tumblr media
After the identification of the bodies was completed, the IDF was able to confirm that Israeli soldiers Gal Meir Eizenkott and Eyal Meir Berkovich were killed by a detonated IED while clearing the perimeter for this operation.
IDF soldiers are reporting that the number of terror tunnels and shafts is much bigger than expected, as well as that there is almost no house they enter in Gaza, which doesn't have some weapons stashed. In some houses, they also found orders and plans for the Oct 7 massacre. Kept in residential homes. In one house, the soldiers found, side by side, weapons like an RPG, and documentation of the chemotherapy treatment that an 8 years old boy was receiving in Israel, mere weeks prior to the Hamas massacre.
Tumblr media
The desecration of Jewish religious sites under Palestinian rule is not a new phenomenon, despite the fact that the Palestinian Authority is supposed to be legally committed to the preservation of the Jewish holy sites Israel agreed in the Oslo accords that the PA would control. Today, we got another example.
Tumblr media
The prevalence of antisemitic and anti-Israel content and messages on social media is not new, either. After Jewish celebrities and content creators had confronted Tiktok on its antisemitin and anti-Israeli bias, there are now Jewish employees of Tiktok, who are speaking out about the fact that this is happening by the design of the many antisemitic, anti-Israel moderates of the company, and not by blind chance. They also talk about how they are discriminated against, in comparison with anti-Israel employees.
Tumblr media
Several residential homes in the north of Israel were directly hit by Hezbollah, one in the town of Metulah was completely destroyed. The only reasons there are no casualties, is because Israel evacuated the northern towns, just as it did the southern ones.
On the day when the UN is celebrating 75 years anniversary of the human rights declaration, the families of Israeli hostages are demonstrating outside the ceremony, to remind everyone that those who had been kidnapped on Oct 7, have been robbed of all of their human rights for over two months now, and that international organizations such as the UN and Red Cross have barely even commented on this.
The IDF's spokesman in Arabic has tweeted this morning, that aid trucks have been waiting for an hour and a half to enter Gaza, because they had to wait for someone on the Gazan side of the border (meaning, Hamas) to open the checkpoint.
The BBC is reporting that Human Rights Watch has denounced the Iran-funded Houthis' attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, and declared these attacks to be war crimes. It's nice to see that when the ships targeted are no longer supposedly Israeli ones, HRW is capable of doing its work.
The other day, soldiers who were a part of an operation to clear the neighborhood of Shujayiah, entered a terrorist ambush. During the fight, there was suspicion that one of the soldiers was kidnapped by Hamas through a terror tunnel. The highest ranking officers on the ground personally joined the battle, to help the fighting, and also to coordinate the different forces, in order to minimize the possibility of a friendly fire incident. 10 soldiers were killed in this battle, among them two of those high ranking officers, Colonel Yitzhak Ben Basat and Lieutenant Colonel Tomer Greenberg (meanwhile, the highest ranking commanders of Hamas are sending their terrorists to die, while they themselves hide in terror tunnels, behind the human shields of Gazan civilians and Israeli hostages). These are the fallen soldiers from this battle (Greenberg top right, Ben Basat top left):
Tumblr media
This is 38 years old Lilia Gurevich-Vasilkovsky.
Tumblr media
She was murdered at the Nova music festival on Oct 7. She was a molecular biologist, who was hailed for her ability to think outside the box. She was working on developing a sweet protein, that would replace sugar. If she had been successful, this could have improved the health and lives of countless people around the world suffering from diabetes. I'm one of them. Reading about her made me stop and think about the fact that, especially when considering the many young victims, we will never fully understand how much the world has lost on Oct 7.
This is 36 years old Itay Perry.
Tumblr media
In the photo, he's holding up the note that his 6 years old son sent him. The note says, "I love you, I miss you, Dad. I hope you won't get injured." Itay carried the folded note on him since he got it, including when he was killed in Gaza. Itay's dad mourned his son, saying that no parent could have a kinder child, and that Itay was also an amazing father and husband.
May the memories of all of the fallen be a blessing.

On this day in 1960, the first televised U.S. presidential debate occurred between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon–impacting United States presidential election cycles for decades into the future.
This article by David Greenberg describes the ritual of presidential debates and their role (or lack thereof) in the selection of United States presidents.

WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE :  NOVEMBER 2002
SOLITARY HELL 
By Keith Elliot Greenberg
Will Kane’s Fellow Freaks Still Be There For His Comeback?
The months had been long and cruel. Every morning, Kane reached for his injured bicep muscle, squeezing it, flexing it, wondering if it would feel the way it did when he’d been at the top of WWE. There were days when he was ready to quit, convinced that he’d never be the man who’d held the WWE Championship in 1998. Pain shot up and down his arm, from the wrist to the shoulder blade, and Kane would scream in agony, frustration and anger at his inability to get back in the ring and trample his foes. 
At night, he would sleep restlessly, sometimes imagining that he was back at full capacity, crooking his arm under an adversary’s chin and clamping on the pressure, wringing an opponent’s head until their mouth hung open and the blood vessels burst above their eyebrows.
Then, there were the other dreams, the ones in which Kane was ambushed by his enemies, his arm draped around the ring post or through the gap in the center of a folding chair. Always, his opponents would yank his arm, stretching the tendons until they tore. They would lay his elbow on the ground and come down on it with both boots, or lift the ring stairs aloft, plunging the steel steps onto the injured area. 
At times, the dream seemed like a movie, with Kane observing his own ruin as part of the audience. The clamor of the crowd would dissolve into numbed silence. THe only noise would come from the objects smashing against his body, the grunts and whoops of his attackers, and the primal cries emitted from his throat as Kane felt his career slip away from him. 
Kane would howl like an animal caught in a trap in the middle of a forest. The other Superstars would be in the back of the arena, watching from the other side of the curtain, and monitoring the carnage on the TV screens positioned in the dressing room. As Kane gritted his teeth and endured the thrashing, he’d look beseechingly down the aisle, waiting for rescue–from a former tag team partner, an athlete of lesser proportions, or any of his “fellow freaks,” who he had aided during a time of distress. But the aisle would remain empty, and Kane would have to suffer his fate the way he always had–alone. 
The bedroom would be dark when Kane sprang awake, the blankets on the floor, the sheets drenched in sweat, the pillow cases torn off. He’d leap from the bed, thrashing about, trying to grab the opponents from his nightmare and fight them off. Then, he would steady himself on a dresser or the edge of a chair, and understand what was happening.
All his life, he’d lived in fear, but always fought through it. Now, the pattern was recurring. While his fans awaited his return from injury, his foes–and even some men who publicly claimed to be his friends–were gleeful. At night, their dreams were the same as Kane’s, except when they arose each morning, they felt refreshed and overjoyed, believing that once the former WWECHampuion returned to action, one coordinated assault might eliminate him from the sport of kings forever. 
Bugt Kane knew that he could never be eliminated. There was too much fight in him for even an army of rivals to defeat. During his waking hours, he’d summon up the dread that invaded his nightmares and channel it in a way that strengthened him. He dutifully attended physical therapy, pushing himself even harder than he was advised, knowing that he would never rebound to his former status by simply going through the recommended motions. 
As his injury healed, he returned to the gym, testing the bicep muscle by pressing and curling astonishing amounts of weight. WHen that goal was met, he’d spread mats on the ground, and lock up with a number of sparring partners. Sometimes, they exchanged fundamental holds; other times, he encouraged them to gang up and jump him. 
Kane would fight back with the fervor of a man about to lose his life. He cracked one sparring partner’s knee, and broke another’s jaw. And still, he hired more to come after him, like hunters in the jungle. It was the only way he’d be prepared for the treachery that an athlete of his stature encounters after a long layoff in WWE.
When Kane fina;y returned to WWE, he was clearly a man transformed by his long exile from the ring. Immediately, both fans and fellow Superstars noted that he looked different. His body was stronger, and his mask had changed. Those brave enough to inquire about his new appearance were initially met with story silence. 
According to people in Kane’s camp, at least one of his advisors suggested that the gargantuan shed his camouflage completely, exposing countenance to the millions of followers who’ve always wondered about the true appearance of the man they’d come to romanticize. But Kane dismissed the idea immediately, refusing even to indulge the advisor in a conversation. 
Apparently, Kane needs his mask as a barrier from the rest of the world. To show his face would be to affirm that he was human–a declaration he is not ready to make. 
Close associates have explained that Kane realizes that he’s on his own more than ever before. Never one to mix easily with other Superstars, Kane has reverted further into himself. To this day, he is periodically haunted by the gruesome dreams that characterized his time away from the mat. And each nightmare has reaffirmed the suspicion that lay at its core. 
Privately, Kane has stated that he never intends to trust anyone or anything other than his own drive and ability. In times past, he cautiously opened himself up to the others: family members, tag team partners, women who claimed to see something special beyond his scarred facade. Rather than finding fulfillment in these relationships, Kane was punished for revealing what others interpreted as weakness. Later, when these confidants turned against him, his emotional vulnerability allowed them to wound him in ways that went far beyond the physical. 
Yet, anyone who has spent even a few fleeting moments with the Superstar understands that, his actions notwithstanding, he desperately covets the approval of the fans. When they’ve rejected him, their jeers formed deep abrasions in his spirit. And when they’ve accepted him, Kane has admitted to feeling an emotion that has evaded him for most of his life: Contentment. 
Even during his most grueling matches, Kane is known for looking out into the crowd and locking eyes with certain types of people: children from dysfunctional families who’ve never felt settled in one place; tall, powerful men branded “oafish” rather than mighty; overweight fans who have endured the teasing by their peers and yearned to achieve a measure of revenge.
Since his emergence in WWE in 1997, Kane ‘s followers have kept track of every development in his career: his World title reign, his acquisition of the Intercontinental and Hardcore Championships, his six WWE Tag Team crowns. Everytime he chokeslammed or piledrove an adversary, or put his life at risk in a ring surrounded by fire or a casket match, these enthusiasts were convinced that a small part of Kane was battling for them. 
During his last run in WWE, his fan approval rating soared to unprecedented levels. Grateful, Kane began referring to his supporters as “Kane-nites.” After a victory, he’d hearten them with a declaration of “Freaks rule!”
But during his sabbatical, Kane wondered whether the Kanenites would wait for him, or move on to performers like Rob Van Dam, John Cena, Rey Mysterio or other dynamic personalities who eclipsed him in his youth. No matter what Kane might say in public, there is no question that he wants Kanenites to remain behind him. Still, after a lifetime of misfortune and disillusionment, he understands that he can’t solely depend on them to sustain him.
Ultimately, Kane will have to–once again–make it on his own.

Key: * = Reread ^ = Nonfiction ~ = Read with Empty % = Novella #= Doc book club
My goal for 2024 is for 40% of my reads to be nonfiction. I've had two years within the recent past where I managed 20% of my reads to be nonfiction, so I'm aiming to double that. THIS WILL BE HARD FOR ME! Not because I don't enjoy nonfiction but because I enjoy fiction a lot more and have a lot more practice reading it. Haha Also for me, I am in circles where I'm just going to have more awareness of fictional books that I'm likely to enjoy more so than nonfiction. I'm kind of hoping that this years journey will change that a bit too!
Okay, below the cut I'm putting the nonfiction books on my tbr, most of which I have the lovely people of Tumblr to thank for the recommendations!

I'm a little sad there aren't more memoirs, but there's plenty of time for that yet! This is already 37 books, and given lately I've been reading about 70 (nonfiction may slow me down tho), these should give me plenty of ability to reach my 40% goal. Now it's just a matter of if I do it XD
