Yarden Bibas’s full eulogy:

"Mi Amor"

I remember the first time I said "mi amor" to you. It was at the very beginning of our relationship. You told me to only call you that if I was certain I loved you, not to say it carelessly. I didn't say it then because I didn't want you to think I was rushing to say "I love you." Shiri, I'll confess to you now that I already loved you back then when I said "mi amor."

Shiri, I love you and will always love you!
Shiri, you are everything to me!
You are the best wife and mother there could be.
Shiri, you are my best friend.

Mishmish, who will help me make decisions now? How am I supposed to make decisions without you?
Do you remember our last decision together?
In the safe room, I asked if we should "fight or surrender." You said fight, so I fought.
Shiri, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you all. If only I had known what would happen, I wouldn't have fired.

I think about everything we went through together—there are so many beautiful memories.

I remember Ariel and Kfir's births. I remember the days we would sit at home or in a café, just the two of us, talking for hours about everything under the sun. It was wonderful. I miss those times deeply.
Your presence is profoundly missed.

I want to tell you about everything that's happening in the world and here in Israel.

Shiri, everyone knows and loves us—you can't imagine how surreal all this madness is. Shiri, people tell me they'll always be by my side, but they're not you. So please stay close to me and don't go far!

Shiri, this is the closest I've been to you since October 7th, and I can't kiss or hug you, and it's breaking me!

Shiri, please watch over me...Protect me from bad decisions. Shield me from harmful things and protect me from myself. Guard me so I don't sink into darkness. Mishmish, I love you!

Chuki, Ariel,
You made me a father. You transformed us into a family. You taught me what truly matters in life and about responsibility. The day you were born, I matured instantly because of you. You taught me so much about myself, and I want to thank you. So thank you, my beloved.

Ariel, I hope you're not angry with me for failing to protect you properly and for not being there for you. I hope you know I thought about you every day, every minute.

I hope you're enjoying paradise. I'm sure you're making all the angels laugh with your silly jokes and impressions. I hope there are plenty of butterflies for you to watch, just like you did during our picnics.
Chuki, be careful when you climb down from your cloud not to step on Toni... Teach Kfir all your impressions and make everyone laugh up there.
Ariel, I love you "the most in the world, always in the world," just as you used to tell us.

Poopik, Kfir,
I didn't think our family could be more perfect, and then you came and made it even more perfect...
I remember your birth. I remember during the delivery when the midwife suddenly stopped everything—we were frightened and thought something was wrong—but it was just to tell us we had another redhead. Mom and I laughed and rejoiced. You brought more light and happiness to our little home. You came with your sweet, captivating laugh and smile, and I was instantly hooked! It was impossible not to nibble on you all the time.

Kfir, I'm sorry I didn't protect you better, but I need you to know that I love you deeply and miss you terribly!
I miss nibbling on you and hearing your laughter.
I miss our morning games when mom would ask me to watch you before I went to work. I cherished those little moments so much, and I miss them now more than ever! Kfir, I love you the most in the world, always in the world!

I have so many more things to tell you all, but I'll save them for when we're alone.

One year since our lives changed forever.
One year since Hamas terrorists brutally murdered and kidnapped our brothers and sisters.
One year of fighting for their release.
One year, but we will never forget. 🎗️💔

Thanks

Great social ideas die in overbearing approval processes. In @washingtonpost and @drewharwell's latest reporting on the @KamalaHQ social strategy, the team talked a lot about how they get content approved. Here are a few operational insights for your brand to steal:

@JHBWater Hi there. I have no water at my residence. Grenville avenue Savoy. Can I please log it.

Kenyan women got 7 of the country's 11 medals at this Olympics. In the US, women got twice as many Olympic medals as men. These were the first Olympic games with near parity between men and women athletes.

Women aren't asking for favours. We're asking for a level playing field.

Children, wives, I come to you today with gnus of how this household will be run. Am I late? Okay, so?
Anyway, some of you are capable, but I want you to prove yourselves first. Tonight I will announce your new household chores. But first, some presidential words, for ambiance.
· You guys have said you want us to work together. I don’t feel like I’ve said this enough times.
· My 10 virgins will be the DA, PA, IFP, GOOD, PAC, FF+, UDM, Al Jaamah, RISE, and UTA.
· We have signed our marriage contract and solemnly swear to be nice to you all.
· Here are a bunch of words that remind you that I’m the government: equality, unprecedented, democracy, national interest, elections, stability, etc cetera.
· I know that you were annoyed about the time we’ve taken to finalize this GNU. But I say to you: mind your own business. We know more about this, as politicians. Some countries took longer than us, so sit down! mkay! Mncccccm.
· I’ve only chosen the best virgins to run my harem. Diversity… effectiveness… the people.
· I've moved the furniture around and redecorated the ministries, so don’t froth at the mouth. I know more than you.
· Here are some of your new ministers, below
· I expect everyone to play nicely. I will kick your teeth out if you don’t.
· Also, I’m very sleepy right now.
· Cheers. Bye.

#Cabinet

[Mandy Wiener @MandyWiener]

Here is everything you need to know about today’s Parliamentary proceedings and the election of a President:

Proceedings will start at the CTICC at 10.

The Chief Justice will open the session and preside over the swearing-in of all the permanent delegates appointed by their respective provinces.

This will follow the first sittings of the provincial legislatures to elect permanent and non-permanent delegates to the NCOP.

After presiding over the swearing-in of the 54 designated permanent delegates, the Chief Justice will also chair the election of the Chairperson of the Council.

Once elected, the new Chairperson will take over the proceedings and preside over the election of the Deputy Chairpersons.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, Chief Justice Zondo will also preside over the election of the Speaker of the National Assembly.

Whoever is elected as Speaker will be crucial – it will tell us much of what we need to know about the negotiations and what deals have been done.

The Speaker will take over the proceedings and preside over the election of the Deputy Speaker.

The Chief Justice then presides over the election of an MP as President. This will probably take place after lunch.

Presidential nominations are called from the floor of the House and must be supported by a form that’s signed and seconded.

The presidential nominee must accept the nomination.

If there is only one nomination, then the election of the President is done. We expect Cyril Ramaphosa to be re-elected.

If there is a challenger nomination, then there will be a secret ballot.

The candidate “who receives a majority of the votes” is declared the winner.

If more than two presidential candidates are nominated, there is a run off.

The presidential candidate with the least votes is eliminated and the nominee with the majority of votes remains and becomes President.

The President must be inaugurated within five days and this will happen at the Union Buildings next Wednesday.

There is no clear timeline on when a Cabinet must be announced and this could take days.

Only then will we likely know the minutia of the deals that have been done.

🚨The Electoral Commission is aware of the video being circulated showing discarded election materials in Modimolle in Mokopong, Limpopo. Election officials disposed of the used ballot boxes and other election materials after setting up the station for special votes. There were no ballots in the ballot boxes. #saelections24
