The attacks on Sanaa airport and Hodeidah power station were also reported by Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthis.

The outlet said two people were killed in the strikes on the airport and one person was killed in the port hits, while 11 others were wounded in the attacks.

There were no false claims of fraud, because he won. No election officials were vilified and threatened, because he won. The courts remained free of legal challenges, because he won. On Jan. 6, 2025, there will be no violent insurrection, and Congress will certify the count not because of a new law, but only because Trump won.

The recall follows the death of a domestic cat linked to the product, raising concerns about potential transmission to humans.

While the risk remains low, health officials advise against consuming raw meat products and limiting contact with sick or dead animals.

Jadi had gone to al-Awda Hospital with his wife, who was giving birth to their first child.

According to the Wafa news agency, while waiting for his wife, he decided to check in on his colleagues who were outside the hospital in the vehicle.

His brother, photographer Omar al-Jadi, documented the moments after the Israeli strike hit the vehicle.

“Guys, Ayman is inside. Ayman, my brother, is martyred,” he shouted in the video as he helplessly filmed the burning van.

France has officially handed over its first military base in Faya-Largeau to Chad as part of an ongoing withdrawal of French forces. This move follows Chad’s abrupt termination of military cooperation last month with its former colonial power. French troops are also set to leave bases in Abeche and the capital N'Djamena.

Did the Milky Way form by slowly accreting matter or by devouring its neighboring galaxies? At last, we’re uncovering our own history.

Key Takeaways

• Although the Milky Way has been around for more than 90% of the Universe’s history, we still don’t know how it grew to be its present size. 

• Two processes are both expected to contribute: mergers with other, smaller galaxies and gravitational growth by absorbing intergalactic matter. 

• By examining the Milky Way’s globular clusters, we can identify at least 5 galactic mergers in our past. “The Kraken,” 11 billion years ago, was the largest.

Summary

Incoming Trump administration “border czar” Tom Homan announced plans to resume family detentions as part of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

Families with children will be held in tent-like facilities, and parents may face the choice of deporting as a family or leaving US-born children behind.

Homan, known for his role in Trump’s first-term family separation policy, also plans to reinstate worksite raids and the “remain in Mexico” program.

Critics warn these policies, ended under Biden, harm children and undermine humanitarian standards.

I didn't went anywhere and stood in my room 24, 25 and 26 as usual... Why can't I just never wake up... I don't wanna go to work, I hate the people there but I need money and I most likely get fired at January

Fuck life. Honestly

I was thinking about this the other day.

I can't see the point, desktop search is a solved problem.

Yes Windows find is shit, but it doesn't have to be.

I know a bunch of the conspiracies, but what is the legitimate use case?

Archived version for those who hit a paywall

The Israeli occupation launched a large-scale attack on Yemen while the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, was delivering his speech.

A source told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa and Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK's coordination and support.

The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation's failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this "will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, also confirmed that the Israeli occupation's aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.
