It's hard to talk about the threat that Trump poses without sounding like an alarmist. But if he wins, there may not be a chance for people like me to talk to you about it frankly. That's worst case scenario, yes, but the fact that it is possible and not so remotely is scary.
I like to be transparent about what motivates me because I literally do not understand the point of hiding this as a journalist; I am invested in the future of my country. I want to live here with people peacefully. I don't think corrupt liars and con men or women deserve power
I do not come from money or power. I am not a coastal elite. I am an average American. I write because I love to write and I report because I feel like this is the only thing I have ever wanted to do that makes sense with what my heart and my mind tells me.

Jesus Talks to the Masses Part 4 – Don’t Worry About Your Life
Today we will continue in this encounter in the gospel of Luke where Jesus had just addressed the issue of covetousness and greed with the person from the crowd. Now He once again turns to His disciples and continues to expand on that parable about the rich fool, telling them why
this was an important lesson for our lives.
At this point this morning, I find myself reflecting on a powerful sermon that I recently heard that began at 1 Corinthians 1:18 where God said though Paul that “His message would sound like foolishness to those who are perishing; but

Thoughts on 'backdooring' e2e:
1) Does UKG want (potential) access to •all• private messages and transactions?
2) Can't 'bad actors' use those 'backdoors' also? Don't e2e 'backdoors' basically break encryption?…

Russian Shtandart scheduled another illegal stopover in La Rochelle from 10 to 12 August 2024. Its captain, Vladimir Martus, is confident that Patrice BERNIER, a marina employee, @portplaisanceLR, will serve his interests and those of 🇷🇺 to the best of his ability. 1/10 ⬇️
BERNIER is, in fact, one of the members of the trio who, with the support of Jean-François FOUNTAINE @JFFountaine's municipality, organised the 🇷🇺Shtandart's fraud as early as spring 2022. 2/10 ⬇️
Vladimir Martus knows that he can count on the complicity of Brice BLONDEL, Prefect of Charente-Maritime @Prefet17, and of Sandrine GOURLET, CEO of the Grand Port Atlantique La Rochelle @_PALR_ 3/10 ⬇️ .
@MiBeMa_2022 @PS_Betsy_Njagi @psmining_ke Congratulations are in order @HassanAliJoho. Your to do list is a lengthy one. However, will we see some changes in mine safety, less deaths in Kakamega or less carnage along main Blue Economy Corridor,with better emergency response ?
Communities in Coastal Kenya, living alongside one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines are especially dependent on a healthy blue economy for food, energy production, small business growth & their wellbeing.

SUNSET BOULEVARD was released 74 years ago today. One of the most acclaimed films of legendary writer-director Billy Wilder, and one of the great movies about Hollywood, the making of story is still big – it’s the pictures that got small…

Sunset Boulevard - a 35km stretch that runs through Los Angeles – has been associated with Hollywood since 1911 when its first studio, Nestor, opened there. It developed into a luxurious home of the stars; something that always fascinated a young Austrian filmmaker.

Writer Billy Wilder arrived in Hollywood in 1934 and, by 1948, was one of the biggest directors in movies with several classics to his name. For his new project, Wilder wanted to adapt Evelyn Waugh’s novel The Loved One – a satire set in the funeral home industry.

I had covered about the massacres of Hindus by the Pakistan army in 1971 here. In this thread will be looking at what happened to Hindus after formation of Bangladesh, the objective is to give a context to thr recent events there.

After Bangladesh was formed as a separate country, Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, it’s first President, recognized the atrocities on Hindus during 1971. Though other communities were targeted too by the Pakistan Army, it was the Hindu population that suffered the most.
During his visit to Kolkata in 1972, he visited the Hindus in refugee camps there and appealed to them return back. The first constitution also emphasized on secularism and equality of all citizens, irrespective of religion.
Ernest Hemingway was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century.
Wrote 9 novels. Won a Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize. Then shot himself to death.
In 1958, The Paris Review featured an interview with him.
Here are his ten insights on the writing process:

Here are his ten insights on the writing process:
1. Stop writing for the day when you know what is going to happen next, when you still have some juice.
This way you will know where to start the next day and won't get stuck.

2. Learn to write a simple declarative sentence.
(This is one of the greatest writing advices ever. Writing a simple declarative sentence with no subtext or irony or sarcasm is incredibly difficult.)

1/ The massacre at the Al-Taba'een school is a crime and a horror. It is genocide. Leaving civilians no choice but to take refuge at a school and then bombing it is a crime even if Yahya Sinwar was hiding in the building. How does such dehumanization come into being? --->
2/ It begins with the reinforcing notions of "security" and "supremacy". In Israeli Jewish eyes, the most basic and necessary reason for the establishment of Israel is "security" - making sure that Jews could no longer be killed at will. This is Israel's raison d'etre. --->
3/ Supremacy is hardwired into this core. "Security" as an organizing concept provides an immediate hierarchy: if you want to kill us, you're bad and deserve wickedness in return. If you'd like us to live, you're good. "We" are the benchmark for goodness and badness. --->
1/11 Scared coward: Putin's fear to mobilize is justified, as a russian mobilization would ultimately work in Ukraine's favor in the long term.
2/11 Following Putin's mobilization in the fall of 2022, which was unsuccessful, many russians felt betrayed in their social contract with him and a considerable number fled the country. Consequently, Putin is scared to mobilize again.
3/11 russia is facing increasing difficulty in recruitment. While it does manage to recruit a significant number of men, the need to cover losses has led to a substantial increase in signing bonuses in order to attract enough recruits.
