50,000 people killed by Israel in Gaza. Dutch @trouw.nl has the first part of the list of their names on its front page today. The list is ranked by age; these victims were all zero years old.

There is no such thing as an " alpha " in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term "alpha wolf" had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate like families: parents are in charge until the young grow up and start their own families, and younger wolves do not overthrow an "alpha" to become the new leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Mammals
