CNN and the BBC reported that dozens of Palestinians were killed at a US-backed humanitarian aid site in Gaza, citing claims by Hamas. However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied the allegations, and an investigation found no evidence of IDF firing on civilians near the aid site. The IDF released a statement saying that Hamas spreads false reports to undermine aid distribution efforts and that the organization harms Gaza residents to preserve its control. Drone footage showed terrorists firing at civilians trying to collect aid, suggesting that Hamas may have been responsible for any harm caused. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized Western media outlets for running with the story without verifying the claims, and a source from the aid organization expressed disappointment that media outlets repeated "fabrications without verification."

The article reviews the Coolfab Flaretop rocket stove, a custom metal-fabrication product from Zeeland, Michigan. The stove has a 12x12-inch cooking surface, stands 27.5 inches tall, and weighs 52 pounds. It is made of 11-gauge steel tubing and has a hinged grate and ash pan. The author tested the stove and found it to be effective and versatile, able to boil water and cook hot dogs simultaneously. The stove is fueled by small sticks and biomass, producing minimal smoke. The author notes that the stove is too heavy for mobile use but suitable for fixed locations. The Coolfab Flaretop costs $200 plus shipping, while a basic model costs $100 plus shipping. The author recommends the stove as a reliable off-grid cooking solution and praises the quality of Coolfab's work.

The Disney Food Blog reviewed Gasparilla Island Grill, a quick-service restaurant at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The menu features standard counter-service fare, including flatbreads, specialty entrees, and a burger. The blog tried the Chicken Bowl ($14.49) and Barbacoa Bowl ($16.49), both of which came with Black Bean and Corn Salad, Lemon Rice, and Cilantro-Lime Sauce. The chicken bowl was deemed "pretty tasty," while the barbacoa bowl was found to be dry and too salty. They also tried the Roast Beef Sandwich ($13.99), which was a pleasant surprise despite containing onions and horseradish. Overall, the blog concluded that Gasparilla Island Grill is a good option for a quick meal if you're staying at the Grand Floridian or happen to be in the area, but it's not a must-visit destination.

A woman and her husband work opposite shifts and have different food tastes. They often cook separate meals at home, but eat together on their days off. Occasionally, she eats out alone at restaurants that serve food her husband doesn't like. She usually tells him about it afterwards, and he's always been fine with it. However, when he recently found out she was dining in at a restaurant instead of taking it to go, he became upset and gave her the silent treatment. He can't explain why he's mad, and she's confused because she's been doing this for years without issue. Commenters are baffled by the husband's sudden jealousy and cold behavior, wondering what difference it makes if she eats in or takes out.

More than 30 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured during gunfire at a Gaza aid distribution site. Hamas accused Israeli forces of opening fire on civilians, but Israel and the organization running the aid distribution sites rejected the allegation, blaming Hamas for the chaos. The incident occurred near Rafah in southern Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians had gathered to receive aid. International aid organizations have condemned the new aid distribution model, labeling it a "death trap." The Israeli government has stopped the United Nations and other agencies from distributing food in Gaza, replacing them with a new contractor. The situation has led to desperation among Gazans, with many struggling to access basic supplies.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the Trump administration's tariff policies on Sunday, stating that some companies, like Home Depot and Amazon, won't pass on costs to consumers, while others, such as Walmart and Best Buy, may raise prices. President Trump recently announced a doubling of tariffs on foreign steel, citing China's violation of a trade agreement. Bessent emphasized the goal is to "de-risk" rather than "decouple" from China, citing national and economic security concerns. Despite retailer warnings of potential price increases, Bessent highlighted companies that won't raise prices and pointed to falling inflation, including easing food and energy prices. However, data shows egg prices are still 49% higher than last year, despite recent decreases. Bessent argued companies often present worst-case scenarios to shield themselves from legal risk.

A recent visitor to Disney's Animal Kingdom experienced a surprise delay on the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride when a giraffe refused to move from the middle of the road. The giraffe stood its ground for nearly four minutes, despite attempts by Cast Members to entice it with treats. Animal behavior experts say this kind of interaction is normal and expected, as the animals are allowed to roam freely and move at their own pace. This incident is not uncommon, with giraffes and rhinos often causing "giraffic jams" by blocking the vehicle path. While some guests may be mildly inconvenienced, most appreciate the unpredictability and authenticity of the experience, making Kilimanjaro Safaris a unique and exciting ride.

The Disney Food Blog has identified some Disney World Lightning Lanes that may not be worth the time or money. These include: 1. Mickey's PhilharMagic: The wait time is rarely longer than the length of one show, making the Lightning Lane unnecessary. 2. Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor: The wait time is usually only as long as the show before yours, making the Lightning Lane not worth it unless the line is particularly long. 3. Magic Carpets of Aladdin: This ride tends to have low wait times, making the Lightning Lane less valuable. 4. The Barnstormer: The wait time is usually low, and the coaster is only 30 seconds long, making the Lightning Lane not necessary unless it's a must-do for your kids or the wait is unusually long. The blog recommends using the Lightning Lane for Mad Tea Party as a "burner" to scan in and then book more popular rides. They also provide tips and strategies for using Lightning Lanes effectively in Disney World.
