“Shortly before attackers from Gaza poured into Israel …intelligence detected a surge in activity on some of the Gazan militant networks it monitors. Realizing something unusual was happening, they sent an alert to the Israeli soldiers guarding the Gazan border… But the warning wasn’t acted upon, either because the soldiers didn’t get it or the soldiers didn’t read it.
Shortly afterward, Hamas, the group that controls Gaza, sent drones to disable some of the Israeli military’s cellular communications stations and surveillance towers along the border… [and] remote-controlled machine guns that Israel had installed on its border fortifications, removing a key means of combating a ground attack.”

TIL that Unicode is locale-dependent. 😬
"Unfortunately, Unicode is not a perfect system, and it has many shortcomings. Among them is assigning the same code point to glyphs that are supposed to look differently, like Cyrillic Lowercase K and Bulgarian Lowercase K (both are U+043A)."

"Want to see my sex tape?" I ask.
Before anyone can answer, I retrieve my driver's license. There's a piece of duct tape on the front covering up my sex.
The crowd goes wild as the police arrest me. I am never heard from again except in dad legend.

10. The Blob (1958). I think it's been too long since I've gone to the actual movies because for the second day in a row I kept thinking how fun this would be to see in a theater.
I was really surprised by the goofy little opening theme. If you told me that one of the Blob movies had a funny little Burt Bacharach theme I would've guessed it was the 80s one, doing it as a 1950s pastiche, like the Little Shop of Horrors musical.
