The Israeli Marvel Superheroine Problem
The Israeli-Palestinian war has given Disney a major headache. The point is a new character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - the Israeli superheroine Sabra, who appeared in comics more than 40 years ago. Next year, audiences should see her in the new Captain America film.
In the comics, black-haired Sabra can transfer her life energy to others, wears a bodysuit with the Star of David and works for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. It is not yet clear how she will be shown in the film, but the drawn stories with Sabra touched on Palestinian-Israeli issues. Now that the situation has escalated, the inclusion of such a character in the cinematic universe could be seen as an indication that Disney (which owns the Marvel film studio) supports Israeli policies. "Of course, Sabra will be considered offensive to Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims and their supporters," warned Deepak Sarma, a professor at the Cleveland College of Arts and Sciences. He did not rule out protests in cinemas and a ban on the film in Muslim countries.
What will Disney do? Can it portray the controversial character without exposing himself to anti-Semitic ire, or will it back off and delete the Sabra storyline?

“Pfizer lawsuit by Brook Jackson
was dismissed because the false claims act requires fraud to be committed before entering into the contract, and not AFTER the contract is signed. They signed the contract BEFORE the trials were done. So according to the judge, there is no cause of action.”

Trump's election increased White fertility as much as cash subsidies would, while decreasing Hispanic fertility as much as unemployment would. Birth rates can be increased simply by giving people hope for the future.

Why Doesn’t Anyone Smile In Old Photographs?
People's dismal appearances in old photographs weren't accidental. In fact, they were instructed to appear that way. Rather than asking their subjects to "say cheese," photographers told subjects to "say prunes" in order to keep their mouths small.
A small mouth fit Victorian beauty standards, and a more demure expression followed proper etiquette at the time
By the early 20th century, people were smiling more in pictures. In part, this change occurred because photography became more affordable. In 1900, Kodak released the Brownie camera, which only cost $1.
Instead of visiting a photography studio for a formal portrait photograph, people could snap their own pictures at home. This led to a more relaxed process and even more smiles.

"...while computers can in theory predict things very accurately (if the input data is very accurate) they cannot and will not ever be able to account for human nature and reality as a whole. Because the fly in the teleporting machine, the asteroid against the dinosaurs, and the “crazy” St. Benedict, or the iron minded King Leonidas, will throw your entire large number theory set right out the window. And in fact, a human mind that can see these patterns of relationships and figure them out analogously, usually has a better chance of getting it right than any computer prediction of the future."

Solari Report: Let’s Go to the Movies: Week of October 23, 2023: Wag the Dog
Wag the Dog is a very funny and clever education about the engineering of fake news in order to solve a political problem. It is remarkable that this movie with Hollywood grandees Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman came out in 1997, and only a year later, in 1998, it played out in real life when President Bill Clinton, entangled in the Lewinsky media affair, bombed Afghanistan and Sudan.
And here we are in 2023, with the same noscript still playing…
