Please help Dr. Hamad shore up what meager shelter is available to him and his family.

I honestly do not know how much longer we can endure this relentless struggle for survival. We have tried everything within our limited means to secure our tent using sand, but it is simply not enough. Our tent is completely worn out and sits on dangerously low ground, making it extremely vulnerable to severe flooding with the heavy rains forecasted for tomorrow.
To prevent cold rainwater from submerging our shelter and taking away the little we have left, we urgently need to secure a load of sand to raise and reinforce the ground inside our tent before the storm hits.
I am reaching out from the bottom of my heart to anyone who can help. Any contribution—no matter how small—will directly help protect my large family from freezing temperatures and disastrous flooding.

Mark my words this entire Brazilian election is preamble and prequel to what voter tampering, and mass communication distortion, could look like in the U.S.

"Carpet bomb them all".
Speaking to The Guardian at an event ahead of Israel’s elections, a young Israeli woman called for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, saying they should be killed if they cannot be removed.

furiously pumping money into the Consolidating Intelligence Machine: i'm democratising intelligence
I watched the first season of Vivant a few weeks ago and it reminded me (in a bad way) of the US TV series Homeland. Big budget show with good actors that has a nasty political message.
刚看到央视扒的那部日剧，真膈应人。
TBS的《Vivant》第二季，大牌演员，烧钱制作，高市早苗还点名说要追。结果呢？中国人全是坏人，自卫队全是天使。
最恶心的是剧情细节——剧中给中方角色安排切手指、刺肚子。这招数眼熟不？当年侵华日军就是这么对付咱们人的。现在倒好，施暴者的手段搬到电视上，黑锅扣给中国人。看完剧的日本人会怎么想？"哦原来当年是中国人先动的手。"——这招太脏了。
还有个情节，自卫队的人坐飞机跑路，回头威胁："这飞机要是被攻击，西方就来碾碎你们。"说白了就是告诉日本年轻人：跟中国闹没事，美国会来帮忙。
不少日本观众自己都吐槽，说这剧会让本来就对中国有敌意的人更极端。人家自己人都看不下去了。
再往外看——外务省花钱搞AI篡改历史、往大模型里塞毒、改教科书。从电视剧到课本，从娱乐到靖国神社，还真是一条链。
他们不是在拍戏，是在给下一代人的脑子打底。等这拨人长大了，"中国=坏人"就是出厂设置。八十年前用课本，现在用爽剧+AI，工具换了，心没变。

- didn't come across like a nursing home patient when he debated flavio twice
- had jair arrested and convicted to 27 years in prison for insurrection instead of dicking around with merrick garland
- called Israel's assault on gaza "genocide" instead of sending 14000 2k lbs bombs

Democrats should realize that what Meta did in Brazil, they and other social media companies will do in the US in 2028 unless they are made to understand they will face criminal penalties for it

Flávio declines to recognize the result, says he will ask for election to be annulled. Improbable, but signals weeks/months/??? of tension ahead. The Bolsonaros will have biggest bloc in Senate, allied governors and possibly White House in their corner

I made the entire Sidney Mecham dashcam parade video route into a playable map on Geoguessr. 358 locations from his driveway to NE Clackamas St where he was arrested and only portions that are visible on the video, no fill ins. geoguessr.com/maps/6ade3940e…
