There has been so much more happening in Israel recently.  A higher number Israeli startups than ever were on display at CES Las Vegas, which handed out more CES awards to Israeli innovators. There was more European funding for Israeli agricultural technology; and another Israeli satellite was successfully launched. In the health arena, Israeli doctors have again been treating patients in Africa; a further 1000 Europeans and Israelis can walk without pain thanks to Israeli knee implants; and a UAE sheikh was more than happy with the medical treatment he received in an Israeli hospital. Elsewhere, Israel sent another hundred power generators to Ukraine and even more are on their way; more Israeli women are being encouraged to pursue careers in hi-tech; and $2 billion of extra funds were raised for Israel's zero emissions target.  Finally, additional archaeological discoveries are further evidence of Jewish links to the Land of Israel. I'm sure that's more than enough for this introduction. The photo is another view of Israel's Hula Valley, currently hosting hundreds of thousands of migrating birds. Here you can see cranes, planes and buffaloes - so much in one photo!

My friends of Dungeon Meshi
I have a gift for you and it is IRL Laios and Senshi
youtube
Someone gave this lovely Korean couple a supermarket that will sell them American cheese 100 slices at a time and I just… yeah it’s them
They have also acquired ostrich eggs and on the one hand they are the perfect people to have them and I’m delighted they did but on the other hand it does feel like someone should be trying to stop them
Not succeeding. Just… trying
youtube
I now feel a very visceral understanding for Marcille and Chilchuck’s experience because I am watching in mild horror but I would also have no choice but to try it given the chance
Note: if you’re gonna be a chickenshit about unusual ingredients you haven’t eaten before your Laios or Senshi fan card will immediately be revoked I do make the rules
There’s a bunch of fascinating things they’re doing with tripe and organs and things I’ve never eaten and absolutely none of it gives me the visceral urge to run of boiling noodles in American cheese
Also their mayo is in The World’s Worst Squeeze Bottle it looks like tentacles and it gives me inverse ASMR so watch with caution for shit to get weird but none of you are gonna embarrass this fandom by saying something like “oh gross guts”
The channel is called Try To Eat and I’m not gonna lie I have complete faith in their abilities to eat absolutely anything they want to

Spring Greetings
Thank you very much for your Easter Greetings @docdust, but I don't quite know what "Easter" refers to ..
However, @bil-daddy and I had a wonderful breakfast with boiled ostrich eggs!
Tumblr media
Bildaddy shouldn't have made fun of the ostrich's gait though, when he declaimed:
“The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, though they cannot compare with the wings and feathers of the stork. 14 She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand, 15 unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. 16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain, 17 for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense. 18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider."
Source quote
The ostrich was not amused ...

Let me kiss your bruises, dear 💋

Can you imagine ostriches running around the Arabian Peninsula? Eight ostrich eggs discovered around a prehistoric campsite point to an ancient feast.
