As I compose this, an agreement for a Gazan conflict ceasefire is in the works. By the time this gets published, I hope to celebrate its' having come to fruition.

RT is reporting, following AlJazeera, that Israel has accepted a ceasefire proposal worked out in Paris:

Israel has agreed to a ceasefire proposal that would halt its war with Hamas, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday, citing the Qatari Foreign Ministry. Hamas has reportedly given the plan a “positive” response.

So Joe is allegedly planning a weeks-long bombing campaign against "Iran targets":

And I can tell you for a fact that the fate of our country is on the ballot in 2028.
It doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican, if the other party wins then the country is doomed. Nor does it matter that the two presidential candidates are the most hated in American history.

Dogs: Part II - Wolves and Domestication

A little over a month ago, I posted an OT which was about dogs and some aspects of their domestication. It was called 'Dogs, Dogs, Dogs - Wow' and was Part I of this short series.

Here's Part II. This post is about that same book (Dogs, Past and Present: An Interdisciplinary Perspective). This post covers a very tiny bit of section I of the book on dog genetics and more.
