The first 27 pages, the age is listed as 0.
The first 27 pages.
Of 1,500 pages.
Each one a person. An entire universe.
Imagine a document 1,560 pages long, listing the names of over 50,000 people killed in just a year & a half.
Imagine more than 15,500 of those names on the list were children.
Imagine that you had to get to page 28 on that document to get to the end of the list of babies aged ZERO.
You don't have to imagine it... this document exists.
Love this – at Sydney, New South Wales
After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. Even yesterday she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human, and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill. We have so much gratitude to every single one of you, whether you offered to help, or liked or shared posts - you ensured Liz’s last two months were her very best. She flew high until the end.
We have two last favours to ask. Firstly, we would like to ask you to share one of her photos - on your social media, or in real life, however you can. Let’s let her go out with a bang. #LizHatton (photos will follow in a thread but do also feel free to choose your own from @lizhatton_photography on Instagram)
Secondly, if you can we would like you to help us with a mission to raise money to fund research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. With no charity in the UK or internationally funding into effective treatments are lacking. In 2024 a 15% 5 year survival rate is simply not enough. Together we can change that. Whether you can share, donate or raise funds - please be our village one more time. Let’s make this the last item on her bucket list and make sure other families don’t face a similar fate: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

If we want to judge by online petition then we should by now have re-entered the EU, but we don’t

Please, @JoeBiden, respectfully call for a recount of this election. What this nation deserves and needs in order to heal, is for a recount to take place.

Trump wins the White House. Again.
The Democrats blew it. Again.
A depressing yet predictable result.
Note for anyone who didn’t vote Harris because of her stance on Palestine.

Dear Donald and Melania Trump,
Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!
Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.
This is a huge victory!
In true friendship,
yours,
Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu

I didn’t think I’d ever witness such unvarnished hatred, such menace, such fascism. This is utterly disgraceful.

With huge thanks to @KatyMcconkey for the tip-off I have dug up this original post. It's almost like they knew Covid is airborne and thought it was important everyone else knew it too! I dug a bit deeper... 🧵

It sucks but I am in a bind It's an🆘24 hrs to rent day. Your help in part keeps me housed & Harry Leslie Smith's Green & Pleasant Land ready for publisher by next month-excerpts on my substack. Getting this to a publisher is a battle worth fighting for ko-fi.com/harryslaststand
Congrats @brisbanelions - sad that yet again @sydneyswans failed to turn up for a grand final. – at Sydney, New South Wales
I wouldn’t mind Sydney losing to a better side, if it wasn’t for the fact that Swans didn’t even turn up to the contest… again. – at Sydney, New South Wales
Sydney Swans?
Way behind at half time?!
In a grand final?!!
In three and a half finals I’ve seen, Sydney have lost by 212 combined points. – at Sydney, New South Wales

So ambulance crews are off because of "high levels of sick leave".
And yesterday I read a tweet from someone who caught their second round of C0VlD from unmasked ambulance officers.
Wonder if there's a connection there 🤔
Man dies after four-hour wait for ambulance. Ambulance Union says 50 ambulance crews were “dropped” overnight because of high levels of sick leave.

ALT 17.00 SCOOBY DOO. The gang are asked to investigate ghostly goings-on in Springfield, Ohio in what will turn out to be Scooby's last case.
Yesterday saw an item supposedly on special offer at “Two for $10”.
A year ago the same product was full price at $4, and regularly on offer at $2/3.
Shopping at @woolworths has become an exercise in calculations to understand whether I’m being ripped off – at Sydney, New South Wales
