    I have been using Grounded on and off this last week. On the fence about this app. Worth the money?

      And why does it start in 6 hours? Do the two sides get to just lob missiles at each other for the next 6 hours and then just say “gg” in a text to each other or something?

      Ceasefires have a warmup time to allow for troops out of contact to be contacted and notified before it starts, ideally to avoid anyone accidentally doing a warcrimes right after everyone was told to stop shooting.

      Man if trump wasn’t even invited to the fight only for all of them to turn on him in the end would be kind of funny but only in a twilight zone kind of way

    “Trump says”. He says a lot, and a lot if it is total bullshit. I believe it when I see it.

      I like ground news but it’s just AI generated summaries which can sometimes be inaccurate/misleading. I wouldn’t use it as a primary source. Better to link one of the actual articles IMO.

        honestly, it helps me stop doomscrolling.

        as instead of doomscrolling to keep up, I just get the news, and if I there’s something I need to see the coment section for some unholy reasons, I just post it here. but might be better to just pick a source and post that instead.

      I use some privacy forward browsers and I can’t close a cookie popup and the sign in to Google banner. Another browser just gave me a short overview with a ground news plug underneath.

      Tap for spoiler

        That just the summary aggregated from multiple sources. Below it you should be able to drill into the actual published articles.

    And this was announced just 30 minutes after the Supreme Court issued an unsigned directive saying taco can deport any non-citizen wherever he wants without due process was this all just an orchestrated distraction?

      I hereby accuse Donald J Trump of being an illegal immigrant. As he is not afforded due process to prove that he is a legal citizen, I demand that he be deported to the prison in El Salvador since he’s also a convicted felon.

      Seems that it was orchestrated by Netanyahu to sabotage the nuclear deal. Trump just got lucky I guess

      We’ve seen the way Israel does ceasefires and it looks an awful lot like Russian ceasefires. This is just Israel taking a timeout to restock ammunition and hoping for a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Also it’s Trump saying it so who knows what if anything was actually agreed on. The only thing you can reliably count on Trump for is lies and grifting.

      The only way I could see Israel going for an actual ceasefire is if Iran has nukes or one of their backers makes a believable threat to drop a nuke on their behalf. Or maybe Israel did the math on what it would mean if their psycho buddy Trump actually dropped that nuke he’s been salivating about on Iran and don’t want to deal with nuclear fallout and the very real possibility that someone would nuke them as a freebie while chucking nukes at the US.
