MONDAY AFTERNOON MOVIE
The War of The Worlds. 1953. Gene Barry
Science Fiction. This is the story that was broadcast in 1938 over the radio as a show by Orson Wells, but listeners thought it was real, and panicked.
Written by H.G.Wells.
I love Internet Archives.

An End to Cruelty and a Most #Evil Trade
It's one thing to eat animals. Another to publicly torture them in ritualistic fashion.
Peruvian leaders push for end to ‘cat barbecues,’ say they are a throwback to Spanish colonial rituals

A Peruvian congressman has joined animal rights activists in their effort to stop the consumption of barbecued cats at an annual religious festival.
The activists say at least 100 cats will be eaten at this weekend’s festival of Santa Efigenia in La Quebrada, a town south of Lima. In addition to barbecues, the festival includes a variety of activities, inlcuding cat races and even live cat roasting, all of which activists say constitute animal cruelty.
Congressman Juan Urquiza joined activists this year to write the district mayor and Peru’s health minister and demand a ban on #cat-eating under a domestic animal protection law.
Activists also claim that dining on felines is a public health danger.
Health Minister Midori de Habich says the practice should be halted. But she has taken no action.
La Quebrada residents defend their tradition and say the cats sacrificed are specially bred with only a handful killed and eaten.
Urquiza claims that the cat festivals are a throwback to a 16th and 17th century European tradition of torturing and eating cats. “It has no place in the civilized world,” he said. The tradition was brought to Latin America by the Spanish and was widely practiced in the Andean region of South America.
Cat roastings were held in Cuenca in the 1700s and the Spanish Governor, Jose Antonio Vallejo, encouraged families to come to the central plaza, now Parque Calderon, on Sunday nights to watch cats in wire mesh cages being lowered into a fire. According to Gonzalez Suarez, a Spanish historian, “The caterwauling and writhing of the burning felines always delighted and amused the spectators.”
Once the animals were roasted to death, they were given to spectators to eat.

I consider myself to be fairly proficient at capturing moments into words and expressing how they make me feel, but I’m running out of ways to express the horror the world is subjecting Palestinians to and the disgust it inspires within me.
What I keep coming back to, is this:
It feels like how it would have been if the world accepted and supported Nazism at scale.

Hungry Gods: Superhero Fantasy Action Adventure by J.D. Brink
“Brink mixes over-the-top powers and fights of superhero fiction with the tenser investigation of a gritty conspiracy thriller, creating a tale that might be précised as zombie noir.”

looks like the war with youtube is going on
As Israel have retreated from parts of northern Gaza, including Beit Hanoun, the people returning are facing of unimaginable horror of brutality of Israeli occupation and complete destruction of all civilian buildings, roads, infrastructure, schools, hospital and place of worship.
I can't share the images as they are too gruesome, mutilated bodies, piles of bones and sculs left to rot and eaten by dogs, cats and rats spread in every street, every ally, and every collapsed building.
These are the results of barbaric slaughter of all people, men, women, children abd in some cases even animals by the Israeli army.
Unlike Ukraine, you will not see any international reporters, political leaders or UN investigators to visit and document these atrocities.
People in Gaza are left alone to collect body parts of the victims, unable to identify most of them and will try to give them a decent burial in what ever empty lots that are available.
Israel hasn't finished their assault on Gaza, they are just regrouping to focus on the south, to spread ther reign of terror on every corner of the besieged and isolated Gaza without the world able (or even interested) in coming to their rescue.
And I'm sure the lovely Muslim brothers in Saudi Arabia and UAE will send new shipment of "Kafan" (the white sheets to give the unnamed victims a proper Islamic burial so they can tell their citizens that they stood by Palestinians and "helped" them so they in return can brag about it on their Instagram and Facebook accounts.
