Netanyahu, at what appears to be a settlement event in the West Bank, plays to the crowd about expanding Israeli territorial control in Gaza from 60% to 70% — squeezing approximately 2 million Palestinians into 30% of one of the most densely populated places on earth. Israel's defense minister Israel Katz tweets about 'voluntary migration,' which Tommy and Ben read as ethnic cleansing in diplomatic language. The humanitarian picture drawn by Doctors Without Borders is catastrophic: 90% of water and sanitation infrastructure destroyed, pests breeding in sewage, rats, lice, scabies, and fungal infections rampant, with essentially no functioning healthcare. Ben notes the international community has done essentially nothing — no UN action, no significant fundraising, no media access to see the actual death toll, which is probably far higher than the 70,000 already reported. A side story about the UK's Starmer government banning American podcasters Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker for their views on the Israeli occupation — while doing nothing for Palestinian civilians — prompts sharp criticism from both hosts of a centre-left government prioritizing silencing critics over helping the people its policies affect.

Ben Rhodes noted that Israel is occupying almost 20% of Lebanon, which contradicts claims that a ceasefire is in effect.
Netanyahu publicly said Israel controls 60% of Gaza's territory and his directive is to move to 70%, which would squeeze 2 million people into 30% of the strip.
Netanyahu publicly stated Israel controls 60% of Gaza and his directive is to push to 70%, which would compress roughly 2 million Palestinians into 30% of one of the most densely populated places on earth. Israel's defense minister is openly talking about 'voluntary migration' — a euphemism Ben Rhodes and Tommy Vietor call ethnic cleansing.
Doctors Without Borders found that Israel has destroyed or damaged nearly 90% of Gaza's water and sanitation infrastructure. Raw sewage breeds pests. Rat bites, scabies, lice, and fungal infections are rampant. Meanwhile, the Board of Peace has achieved exactly nothing, and there is no international pressure, no UN action, and no media access to see what is actually happening.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
