isn't it bizarre that people and animals have to match precise genetic markers for organ donation and take immunosuppressive medication for the rest of their life or else the body will reject it, yet you can pull all sorts of Frankenstein nonsense on plants and it will work so long as they're roughly in the same family

Very nicely preserved 1875 Victorian in Harrisburg, PA, 5bds, 3.5ba, 4,602sqft, cut $27.5k to $487,500 + $25mo. / HOA

I like that it's pristine. No fancy decor, it's just a nice, original, basically untouched Victorian.

They papered the fireplace chimney and it looks like new brick, but it's fine. All the wood is intact.

It's a very large sitting room.

And, it has this cute little alcove sunroom with pocket doors. I would shut myself in there.

In here, there's a home office.

Unfortunately, they completely blocked and wallpapered the fireplace, leaving only the mantel. I wonder what's under that paper.

The kitchen's cute. Plain and original painted cabinetry, the stove is set into the original stove area, and best of all, the original ice box is still set into the wall.

That's definitely an original cabinet and closet in the corner.

And, look at the pantry. This is pretty.

Nice, light hallway.

It looks like they turned the primary bedroom into a family room with a kitchenette.

Nice redone bath looks vintage/modern.

This bedroom's pretty big.

Nice smaller room.

This bath has the original tub.

Stairs to a 3rd level.

There's a nice big bedroom up here.

It has a nice ensuite.

They made a closet in this one.

A small patio.

0.73 acre lot.

This 1800 mill-turned-home in Camaiore, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy is absolutely incredible. 2bds, 1ba, 2,475.7sqft, €395k / $459,090 approx. USD. Below are photos of how it looks by day and by night. (It's so romantic at night.)

The sitting room has a dining area. Note the fireplace carved out in the corner of the room. There's another dining room, this is extra, so it's actually the living room.

But the kitchen is the star of the show. I love when the old equipment is still in a mill, and when owners remove it, it's just a plain ol' house. So, look at this- the kitchen has a mill stone.

The stone is still in the trough that held the ground grain.

Then, to the right, there's a giant crusher. Also, love the furniture.

This is the dining room.

Look at that big piece of equipment.

Look at this cool room off the dining room. This is fantastic.

Once I saw an old mill for sale that was completely modernized. Not one piece of the original equipment. It was awful. This one still looks like an old mill.

Even original tools still hang on the walls.

Here's a nice large bedroom. It's so pretty.

And this is the 2nd bedroom. It's so cozy.

The bathroom is so vintage. And, they did that thing with the shower- it's clear glass and made to blend into the background.

The water that ran the mill still flows under it.

There's a little patio here.

The water wheel still works.

Look at how beautiful it looks lit up at night. The property is approx. 1.73 acres,

1891 Schuster Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Milwaukee, WI is for sale, completely furnished, including antiques, and it has an innkeepers quarters. 8bds, 7ba, + 2 half baths, 12,400sqft, $1,899,900 (Zillow's est.: $1,778,300)

This home has been very well-maintained and restored, and they have the receipts for all of the improvements.

This private breakfast room is so beautiful with its glass ceiling.

The sitting room. They have a list of small appliances and things that aren't included in the sale, and I'm happy to report that the peacock is staying.

The powder room. The curtains in this house are incredible.

There are 2 dining rooms for guests.

The commercial kitchen.

The pantry is totally still vintage, though.

Interesting suite on the first floor has a stepdown bathroom/sitting room.

The other rooms are upstairs.

Beautiful big bedrooms with gorgeous original fireplaces and so many lovely antiques.

Very nice vintage bath. I wonder what it costs to keep this place clean. There's so much stuff.

Very nice sitting room up here.

Oh, this room is so pretty.

The finished attic is all new. It's like a studio apt., so it must be for the owner.

Outside, it looks like the garage was newly renovated. It's huge.

Large yard with beautiful grounds for the guests. 0.36 acre lot.

This is lovely. 0.36acre lot.

The odd Oregon castle was the dream of the owners who had it custom-built. The 1975 home in Eugene, OR is currently being used as a short-term rental property. It could be the high price tag that keeps it on the market. 4bds. 3ba. 2,552sqft, Reduced $50k to $1.149m. (Zillow's est.: $1,119,100)

So, this is the living room. I wouldn't call it a great room.

It's a living room/kitchen combo open concept.

It's just a normal modern kitchen.

This hallway off the kitchen leads to a bedroom.

It has windows and, I think, sliders to go out onto the terrace. However, note the ladder.

Not only does it come up to this little room in the tower, but it also goes up to another level, which, I'm assuming, the photographer didn't want to navigate, b/c there is no photo.

The next bedroom features a pitched ceiling and the tub and sink in the room.

A couple of steps down, on the landing, these appear to be 2 dressing rooms. I don't know where the toilet is. They can't be showers, b/c of the wood floor and no barrier.

The primary bedroom has a castle-like ceiling, and indoor window, some cupboards, and a wall of drawers.

In the basement, there is a rec room and a long sink with a fridge.

Around the corner from the rec room there's a bed nook.

And, a few steps up to a bathroom. This is a very unusual design.

There is also an apt. in the garage.

Enter the side door to the living room/kitchen.

Not sure if it was converted, or if was just made to look like a garage.

The bedroom on the 2nd level of the garage.

Deck for the garage apt.

Yard for the house.

0.32 acre lot.

Magnificent. Artists Wayne & Barbara Chapman commissioned architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg to reimagine their modest 1960s home and its surroundings. He turned the 1960 home in Solana Beach, CA into a serene Zen masterpiece. 3bds, 3ba, 3,927sqft, $4.75m (Zillow's est.: $4,553,700)

Entering the front door and overlooking the main floor.

Unusual fireplace.

The delicate wood carving is so special.

The living/dining room open combo. Those chandeliers.

It's like living in a Tibetan Temple high in the mountains.

This is a deck overlooking the incredible gardens.

The house is on lots of levels.

This is bringing the outdoors in. There's also a ceramics studio in the house.

A kitchen that looks like a little outdoor stand.

Large primary bedroom.

Love color-stained wood.

Such a lovely, colorful bath.

Isn't this beautiful? This room is whitewashed and has a bright, sunny alcove.

There's a white bath to match. Looks like a whole different world.

The Japanese-inspired garden is incredible.

It reminds me of a garden center store or botanical gardens.

Can you imagine living in a place like this?

8,300sqft lot.

Very nice TV are off the formal living room.

Family room area with lots of shelving.

Next, there's a large dining room.

And, look at the tile in this kitchen.

Off the kitchen there's a tiled laundry room.

What a sunny hallway.

This room is used as a home office. It looks like that's a built-in cabinet.

Very large main bedroom with a wall of closets and doors to the patio.

Nice 3 pc. bath.

In addition to the large wall closet, there's also a walk-in dressing room.

This bedroom is very large, also.

Bedroom #3 is similar to the main bedroom, but is used as a sitting room.

The bedrooms get so much natural light. This one has a door to the patio.

It has a contrasting color tile in the shower.

Looks like there's a colony of these angular 1970 beach houses in Gleneden Beach, OR. 4bds, 4ba, 1,440sqft. Sold for $580k.

It looks like the road is sand.

Maybe b/c it's so angular, the photos look weird. Look at the large windows, rocky floor, and stairs that go up to another level.

Looks like a giant bunk bed in the living room. It's as large as a bed, so it's probably for watching TV, as well as a guest space?

Look at the pipes on the fireplace. At first I thought it was a tree. Now, I see more of it, I remember posting this before. The date on this photo shows 2 yrs. ago, so I wonder what it looks like now.

The wall does not go up to the ceiling and the kitchen is on the other side. Look at the big holes to pull the cabinet doors open. The stove looks like the kind you'd see in a camper.

The table is in the corner against the half wall overlooking the living room. And, there's a door to outer stairs.

This looks like a music room. The lights look like turtles.

This tub looks like a DIY with a sheet of metal as a liner. Love the stained glass window, though.

Look at all the pipes. The bath is open to the floor below, also.

These windows have great views of the beach, though.

Is that wall decor, or a ladder to a loft? Anyway, this is a sauna.

Came with a plaque.

It's very compact. Does it double as a shower?

Then, up here, there's a loft area with a balcony.

This looks like a bedroom with an ensuite, closet, and a ladder to yet another level.

Actually, it leads to another level with a sleep loft.

I never would've expected a golf course. 0.43 acre lot. On one side, there's the North Lagoon and the beach is on the Pacific Ocean.

Group Behind Gaza Press Death Toll Quietly Removes Hamas and Islamic Jihad Fighters From Its List

Journalists and media workers protest after Al-Jazeera personnel killed in Gaza, in Barcelona, Spain, Aug. 13, 2025. Photo: Marc Asensio/Nur

by Debbie Weiss

The Committee to Protect Journalists has launched a full review of its Gaza journalist casualty database after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad published obituaries identifying some of those previously listed as journalists as combatants — raising pointed questions about how one of the war’s most cited press-freedom tallies was compiled.

The New York-based watchdog said last week it had removed eight names from its database after they were established to be Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives, and removed 12 others for separate reasons. CPJ said the full review of all names on its list of journalists and media workers killed during the Israel-Hamas war is expected to be completed in July.

As of June 25, CPJ’s database listed 209 journalists and media workers killed by Israel in Gaza and in Israeli detention centers since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 252 were taken hostage. The organization has described the conflict as the deadliest for journalists since it began tracking press deaths more than three decades ago — a claim now under scrutiny.

Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former IDF international spokesperson, accused CPJ of failing to exercise sufficient scrutiny of its Gaza list despite what he described as clear evidence from the outset of the war that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were exploiting journalistic cover for military purposes.

CPJ “willingly and knowingly participated in an ongoing delegitimization effort against Israel by making a conscious decision not to undertake any due diligence or scrutiny in their lists and their description of so-called media workers in Gaza,” Conricus told The Algemeiner.

He said the failure came despite what he called “obvious evidence” that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were “violating the special and protected status of journalists” by deploying terrorists in press vests and other press insignia to gain protection.

“I cannot imagine that CPJ was not aware, because Israel said so from the beginning, that there are dual-purpose media workers who are first and foremost terrorists in Hamas and Islamic Jihad and have a secondary income as media workers,” he said.

Genocide denier

It's kind of you to announce you're glitching out first and foremost. I have never denied a genocide, I just don't make up shit that isn't happening. Get help you need it desperately. Though racism is not actually a mental health condition, hopefully a professional will know better than I to deal with delusional bigotry.
