If you’re trying to expose your kids to Japanese early, @kaori_sanada’s Niccori Channel / にっこりチャンネル is a calm but engaging Japanese “Ms. Rachel.” Slow speech, songs, simple language, and time to let children repeat words. It's been great for our kids, give them a sub!
Update on Maya Gebala
(Tumbler Ridge)
Our sweet little girl finally got to enjoy the outdoors again today. We were able to bring her up to the patio for some fresh air. It was only about 20 minutes, but the sun was shining and it was such a beautiful moment seeing her out there ❤️
Update from Maya's father:
Maya has started sitting in her chair again now that the incision on her head has healed a bit more. It’s been really nice to see her up again. The doctors have also been gradually raising the level of her EVD each day to help regulate her CSF fluid.
Today she has been a little more responsive than the past few days. She’s been squeezing the neurosurgeons hand on request and tracking more with her eyes, which are all really encouraging signs for us.
Cia also made two paddles for her one that says “YES” and the other that says “NO.” It’s been such a helpful way for us to ask her questions and communicate with her right now. It may be simple, but in this moment it means everything to us. We’re so grateful for even the smallest ways we can connect with her.
12-year-old Maya Gebala has opened her eyes for the first time since being rushed to hospital after the Tumbler Ridge school attack.
According to her mother Cia’s Facebook story:
“Her eyes opened, she’s responding and moving around, and she’s moving her hand.”

The Amiga 2000's Role in Babylon 5's Special Effects
(read the full article: https://t.co/GRb79OpPSI)
In the annals of television history, few shows leveraged technology as innovatively as Babylon 5. The series, which aired from 1993 to 1998, was groundbreaking not only for its storytelling but also for its pioneering use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). A key component in this visual revolution was the often-overlooked Commodore Amiga 2000.
The Babylon 5 Amiga 2000 Setup Explained
• Hardware: The Amiga 2000 was a major upgrade from earlier Amiga models, with an open architecture that allowed extensive hardware enhancements. It was powered by the Motorola 68000-series CPU, with options for further upgrades.
• Video Toaster: This video effects card, designed specifically for the Commodore Amiga, included a genlock for broadcast-quality video synchronization, a framebuffer for real-time effects, and LightWave 3D software for 3D modelling and animation.
• Networked Computing: Foundation Imaging, the special effects house for Babylon 5, networked 24 Commodore Amiga 2000s to form a render farm. This setup enabled parallel processing of CGI frames, dramatically speeding up the rendering process.

The DOJ briefly uploaded — then removed — an 86-page document titled “Investigation into Potential Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirators.”
The file contains interview summaries with alleged victims and individuals described as “subjects of the investigation.”
Named and reportedly redacted subjects include:
-Ghislaine Maxwell
-Jean-Luc Brunel
-Nadia Marcinkova
-Sarah Kellen
-Adriana Ross
-Leslie Groff
The document references sexual assault allegations involving:
-Jeffrey Epstein
-Ghislaine Maxwell
-Harvey Weinstein
-Jean Luc Brenel
-Leon Black
-Jes Staley
-Prince Andrew
-Glen Dubin
It also includes an interview with counsel for Les Wexner.
According to Wexner’s attorney, Epstein was given sweeping control over Wexner’s finances in the 1990s with little oversight. Epstein allegedly sold himself Wexner’s New York apartment and private jet at steeply discounted prices. In 2007, Wexner concluded that Epstein had misappropriated several hundred million dollars. Epstein agreed to repay $100 million in 2008, after which Wexner severed all ties.
The document dedicates an entire section to an interview with Virginia Giuffre, who made many of the trafficking allegations involving Epstein and Maxwell and claims she was trafficked to powerful men.
Notably, the report states:
“It bears noting that, contrary to some news reports, these searches did not reveal any cameras in any of the bedrooms or massage rooms.”
A separate document includes a diagram mapping Epstein’s inner circle and the same potential co-conspirators.
The materials feature photographs and names of prominent individuals in Epstein’s orbit, including:
-Ghislaine Maxwell
-Darren Indyke (Epstein’s attorney)
-Richard Kahn (accountant)
-Harry Beller (financial adviser)
-Lesley Groff (longtime assistant)
-Jean-Luc Brunel, who died by suicide in a French jail while facing rape charges
-Five individuals identified as Epstein employees had their names and faces redacted.
Taken together, the 86-page report and accompanying chart indicate that federal investigators were examining a broader network of potential co-conspirators — particularly Epstein’s female employees who were alleged to have helped recruit underage girls.
These same women were widely reported as potential co-conspirators in 2019 following Epstein’s arrest.
Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross, and Nadia Marcinkova were granted immunity in Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal.
In short: the potential co-conspirators identified in the DOJ's latest release of Epstein files appear to be the same individuals who have been publicly linked to Epstein’s network since his original 2007 case.

According to legal documents and emails, Epstein and Lutnick did business together and Lutnick vacationed on Epstein’s island,

@levelsio In January last year, Sweden saw more than a bombing a day. SWEDEN! The barbarian hellscape unleashed by mass immigration on much of Europe is beyond tragic. https://t.co/l0ZB9OYWb4
This is insane. Regime change will result in a bloody civil war, killing hundreds of thousands and creating another massive Muslim refugee crisis. Topping a leader is NEVER as easy you think. It almost always results in further involvement, a civil war, and chaos. Resist this!
