Thank you, Grok @bot team !
When the Rasuwa–Bhotekoshi flood hit on 26 August, I built a live bilingual (Nepali/English) flood bulletin in a single day to get verified updates to people who needed them. That portal runs on Grok Bot and it only exists because two people said yes without hesitation.
Thank you, @poteto, for providing Grok Bot access when it mattered most. And thank you, @tibor_tee, for the additional USD 200 in credits that kept the bulletin updating around the clock.
And @sristee44 stepped in to help with payment for AI credits when I couldn’t from here.
This is what technology in service of people looks like: no forms, no delays just help, fast, when a community needed it.

Rightly sacked Paudel, Booted Bhurtel, Sompal & Aarif out. But how did Sandeep gets captaincy when he was nowhere near the leadership role only God knows
Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

JUST IN: The Tourism Times has reported that chances of finding any survivors from the Broad Peak avalanche are now considered almost nil.
According to the climbers coordinating with the search-and-rescue operation, a drone flown from Base Camp spotted what appeared to be the bodies of four climbers, Nirmal Purja "Nimsdai," Kili Pemba Sherpa, Nima Sherpa, and Wang Zhong, just below Camp I on the Concordia side of the mountain.
The search team also reported that all 10 climbers caught in the avalanche are believed to have perished on the Concordia side. Authorities have not yet issued formal confirmation or completed the identification of all victims.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
