Unbearable. Gaza screams for us to break the siege.
I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need. I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies. Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing. Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah. The victims have been identified as: Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old Reem Hossam al-Zain Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain Salah Nabhan, 7 years old Mariam Nabhan The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition. The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel. I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

We are still alive in Gaza… 🥹🇵🇸 Despite everything, we are still trying to hold on. If you see this photo, please don’t scroll past in silence. Write anything — even a single dot means so much to us and reminds us that we are not alone. 🥹💔🙏

76 years ago, Ray Bradbury published "There Will Come Soft Rains," an apocalyptic short story about a time when we have wiped ourselves out—but our AI obliviously continues automating our empty smart homes. Bradbury set the story on August 4, 2026. btboces.org/Downloads/7_Ther…

The system is upset that you still remember June 25. It is even more disturbed that your memory is not vague, but graphic —that you remember what happened that day, what followed in its wake, and what has continued to unfold ever since. This was not to be remembered.

My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️ I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it. To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you. The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling. More of the journey to come. Love, Divock Origi
