They're all the same. Rotated 90° for each one. Except for the 'e', they flipped that one.
Trelawny, Jamaica. Not sure what's happening on the southern side of the island.
Being at a resort during a hurricane is peak boring dystopia. The staff calmly fed us breakfast and handed out pack lunches — sandwiches, cereal, and bananas. Fresh towels delivered just in advance of the lockdown. Gas-powered generators provide lights, TV, and Internet. The same fuel the earliest Cat-5 hurricane in Atlantic history. We stay in our room, entertaining two kids and exchange messages with friends back home and the family we travel with. The mattress for our king-size bed covers the patio doors. The staff residence we see below has its windows boarded up.
We've used two streaming services to watch movies.
The false alarm two hours ago showed that our go-bags are ready, and we can head to shelter in under 30 s. They ever actually confirmed it as a false alarm.
The Secretary General of the legit United Nations, [said this](https://youtube.com/shorts/LXFxglpXlzk).
Are there any adults in the rooms where decisions like "bomb Gaza" are made? Why are so few saying what defeated Jamaal Bowman are saying, "permanent ceasefire now". And remember how Bowman was defeated. [$17K/hr](https://youtu.be/tAZjjJBCw3o).
Also, cute story, Lebanon is the only other country in the world to feature a plant on its flag. The Lebanese are beautiful, Mediterranean people. LEBANON is at the crossroads of empires, and now — as is often the case — Lebanese are victims of outland calamities; Syria, the dock, and econonic collapse.
Hezb. are based there. Lebanon is thus remade like Afghanistan. Isr. reserves the right to "defend".
Democracy dies when any administration can laugh off a 4-word rebuttal of a central plank of the world's most pernicious, deadly conflict(s). Regardless of public opinion, America can't be seen to undermine its own interests.
When they were handing out the disaster lunchboxes, I heard a person in line say, “they had better offer alternative milk” as though offering oat, almond, and soy like they were at Starfucks was the priority in a hurricane. I get it. Some people can’t process lactose. My partner can’t. Nor can she handle gluten. She, at the same time, realizes that her dietary needs might play second string to 230 km/h wind and a legit deluge. She took her white bread and cheese sandwich, milk and cereal, banana, and Oreos and dealt with it. She was more concerned with all of us being alive at the end of the day and wanting to help the staff get home to their families.
