Kurt Kaz:
It was last night in Karachi, so me and Kurt decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal. We actually found a different fine dining restaurant first – we went in, asked if we could film, they said yes, but as we were ordering they changed their minds and didn’t want the free promo, so we went across the road to Chef’s Table and the guys were super friendly, and the food, staff and experience was awesome.
This was both mine and @Kurt Caz’s first time doing fine dining, and certainly both of our first times trying a 10 course menu. It’s not something I’d do often, I’m happy with a pizza, but it was cool to try this without being totally ripped off like in most countries. Shout out Chef’s Table’s staff for being awesome and the owner for coming to say hello.
We had a week in Karachi, eating street food, going around hectic markets, going to Karachi’s craziest beach, meeting some really friendly Pakistani people and overall having a really good time in a country that has a bad reputation due to the media. Hopefully me and Kurt Caz have helped to change that even a tiny bit to show you that Pakistani people are friendly.

Israeli immunologist claims Covid-19 ‘cannot be defeated’, slams ‘failed’ pandemic response
A leading Israeli immunologist has penned a scathing open letter slamming the government for its “failed” coronavirus response.
Writing for N12 News, Professor Ehud Qimron, head of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University, accused the Israeli Ministry of Health of pursuing “destructive policies” for the past two years out of a “lust for power, budgets and control”.
In the wide-ranging opinion piece, Prof Qimron attacked the government over lockdowns, restrictions and vaccine mandates, alleging health authorities had ignored established epidemiological science and pandemic plans at the outset – and then refused to adjust policies in the face of real-world data.
His comments calling on the Health Ministry to “admit failure” come as the country grapples with an Omicron wave that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says could see up to 40 per cent of the population infected.
“Two years late, you finally realise that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail,” Prof Qimron wrote.
“You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.
“You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge. You insisted on attributing every decline of a wave solely to your actions, and so through false propaganda ‘you overcame the plague’. And again you defeated it, and again and again and again.
“You refused to admit that mass testing is ineffective, despite your own contingency plans explicitly stating so.
“You refused to admit that recovery is more protective than a vaccine, despite previous knowledge and observations showing that non-recovered vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than recovered people. You refused to admit that the vaccinated are contagious despite the observations. Based on this, you hoped to achieve herd immunity by vaccination – and you failed in that as well.
“You insisted on ignoring the fact that the disease is dozens of times more dangerous for risk groups and older adults, than for young people who are not in risk groups, despite the knowledge that came from China as early as 2020.”
Prof Qimron said the Israeli government should have adopted the “Great Barrington Declaration”, a 2020 document authored by Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University calling for an end to “devastating” lockdown policies around the world.
“You chose to ridicule, slander, distort and discredit them,” he wrote.
“The truth is that you have brought the public’s trust in you to an unprecedented low, and you have eroded your status as a source of authority.
“The truth is that you have burned hundreds of billions of shekels to no avail – for publishing intimidation, for ineffective tests, for destructive lockdowns and for disrupting the routine of life in the last two years.
“You have destroyed the education of our children and their future. You have harmed livelihoods, the economy, human rights, mental health and physical health. You slandered colleagues who did not surrender to you, you turned the people against each other, divided society and polarised the discourse.”
He was also critical of Israel’s “Green Pass” vaccine passport system, saying the government had branded, “without any scientific basis, people who chose not to get vaccinated as enemies of the public and as spreaders of disease”.
Despite skyrocketing Covid-19 cases, Prof Qimron claimed that there was “currently no medical emergency”.
“But you have been cultivating such a condition for two years now because of lust for power, budgets and control,” he wrote.
“The only emergency now is that you still set policies and hold huge budgets for propaganda and psychological engineering instead of directing them to strengthen the health care system.”

Hike Camp Climb:
On this adventure I went hot tent snow camping in old growth forest. I’ve always wanted to hot tent camp here in the snow. Many of the trees are hundreds of years old and hundreds of feet tall. The forest gives off an eerie vibe but it is absolutely stunning to see. It snowed almost non stop the entire trip and temperatures stayed around 23 F (-5 C). I cooked up some delicious cheese steak sandwiches on the wood stove for dinner and had scrambled eggs for breakfast. Before I packed up I got to play around with the Dwarf Telescope made by TinyScope. It worked surprisingly well and I can’t wait to use it somewhere with an actual view. I hope you enjoy the beautiful forest in this video!

Palmer handled that press conference, well. If what he said there is his real goal in funding the UAP, it will be good for democracy in this country.
We will only know the truth after the elections, if the UAP wins seats to make a difference. Will there be a price to pay?
But, Lib-Nat-Lab-Grn alliance needs to be cut down and if it takes the UAP and other centre-right parties to achieve that, so be it.

With monkeys, I’ve just read a book titled The Girl with No Name, about a girl kidnapped from her home in Columbia, abandoned by her captors in the jungle in what sounds like desperate circumstances, and raised by (or in parallel with) monkeys for some years before finding her way back into society albeit the dregs of it. A good read with a happy ending as matriarch of a multi-generational family, even if she still find it hard to resist climbing a tree. Interesting contrasts between her lives in animal and human kingdoms along with those in the middle.
