in 1999, my father's job was to put the hippo in this ad and make it believable. It was a really big deal in Canada.
It's cool to see people sharing this advertisement again suddenly in 2026. It holds a special place in my heart every time I see it.
R.I.P dad, I'll miss you 💚

Say what you like about him but it's honourable and dignified of him to do this when his side lost in both world wars 👏🏻

Starszy posterunkowy Jakub Kulik i starszy posterunkowy Artur Morański to prawdziwi bohaterowie. Uratowali prawdopodobnie wiele ludzkich istnień, nie zważając na ryzyko utraty życia. Ich stan jest poważny, ale są pod bardzo dobrą opieką. Cała Polska trzyma za Was kciuki.

Ten cajt je ABSOLUTNÍ BADASS!!!
Vy to asi nevidíte, ale on vědomě vyměnil svůj život za to, že toho útočníka aspoň co nejvíc zraní.
Bylo mu jasný, že jde v hadrech s pistolkou, proti někomu s dlouhou a ve Fool gearu a tak nemá smysl moc taktizovat a prostě se rozhodl rozdat co největší damage jaký stihne.
Absolutně chladnokrevně a přesně vysypal co měl i když sám inkasoval a jak viděl, že mu to vyšlo, tak se ještě stihl aspoň částečně sám ošetřit.
To je přesně podle vojenskýho - Když jsi jedinej kdo může, tak musíš!
Kolik životů zachránil, výměnou za svůj?
Velitelskej materiál.
Doufám, že to dá.
Dnes se všichni pomodlete.

Polski bohater policjant, który będąc na patrolu zneutralizował zamachowca nie będąc na to zupełnie przygotowanym.
Uratował pewnie wiele żyć bo napastnik był uzbrojony po zęby.
Ze względu, że dostał trzy postrzały z broni automatycznej walczy obecnie o życie na stole operacyjnym.
Proszę o modlitwę za jego zdrowie.
Nazywa się Kamil Kosin.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Policjanci którzy zneutralizowali zamachowca w Krakowie to Jakub Kulik i Artur Morański. Jeden z nich został postrzelony raz i kontynuował interwencję drugi otrzymał trzy postrzały. Nazwisko Kamil Kosin jest błędne.

Głębokie wyrazy współczucia dla rodzin i bliskich ofiar tragicznego zamachu w Krakowie. Najwyższe słowa uznania dla bohaterskich policjantów, którzy działali z narażeniem życia. I gorący apel do polityków wszystkich opcji: nie grajcie tą tragedią. Wyjaśnimy wszystkie okoliczności tej zbrodni.

我说一个爆论：马斯克和特朗普这两个人的关系，会从盟友变为人质关系。
中期选举的第二天，前美国国务卿希拉里说了一句非常奇怪的话：“那就让他们赦免马斯克吧，然后我们把他叫过来，看看他有什么要说的。”
一个曾经在大选上输给特朗普的人，主动劝特朗普去赦免自己最大的金主。明眼人一看就知道这是个陷阱，且是希拉里当年的复仇。
先讲讲马斯克在过去两年到底担任什么样的身份。他首先有三重身份：
第一个是金主。这次选举他总共给共和党砸了将近4亿多美元，比2024年总统大选还要多。结果呢两院全丢。选举当天他在自己的平台X上面发了一条“今天投红”，结果出来后第二天删了，然后自嘲了一句：“看来我那台干预选举的太空激光这次没起作用。”
第二是官员。2025年呢他做了将近130天的DOGE，砍机构拿数据。然后6月跟特朗普开撕翻脸，最后又在9月和好。10月份呢特朗普给他挂了美国国家科学奖章，称之为“我们这个时代的爱迪生”。
第三种身份他是一个承包商。SpaceX今年拿了联邦合同将近70亿美元，比去年翻了将近一倍。金穹防御系统、五角大楼的AI项目都有马斯克的身影。这三重身份在共和党控制的国会当中是三张牌，中期选举之后他们变成了三个把柄。
民主党的下一任众议院监督委员会主席加西亚，选举第二天就发了两个单词：“Lawyer up.”找律师吧。第二天呢他在PBS上说得更加直接：“国会各个委员都会对马斯克和他的公司感兴趣，我们绝对有问题要问他。”而希拉里在选举夜说的是具体的问题：“DOGE到底拿走了什么样的数据？你的社保数据、医保数据现在在哪里被用来做什么？”那特朗普怎么办呢？
中期选举的大败，总统失去的是政治这把尺子，但权力呢会流向行政工具。而赦免是所有行政工具当中最纯粹的一个，它不需要国会不需要法院签字就直接能生效。所以特朗普上周在纽约邮报上的播客被问到会不会提前赦免马斯克和DOGE的人，他说如果需要我会的当然。被问到民主党会不会抓马斯克动SpaceX，他说那只是说说而已，但如果是真的我们也得保护他们。
那么现在你再听希拉里那句话为什么她希望特朗普赦免马斯克？因为美国法律有一个100多年的规则，一个人如果接受了总统赦免，那他就不能再被对赦免的事情引用第五修正案拒绝作证，因为他已经没有了自证其罪的风险。换句话说赦免是一把钥匙，它打开的不是牢门而是证人席的门。
特朗普如果不赦免马斯克可以在听证会上一路用我拒绝回答来回应。特朗普一旦赦免了马斯克就必须回答，而且赦免只管联邦管不到州。
马斯克的公司总部在德州，德州这次翻蓝，新的德州总检察长已经说要彻查星链拿的州政府补贴，新的州长呢要暂停数据中心的建立，这些华盛顿一张纸也救不了。
所以我对这两个人未来两年的判断是三句话。首先第一，特朗普呢不会真的提前赦免马斯克，他会一直把这件事挂在嘴边当筹码来用。赦免是他对马斯克最大的权力，一旦用掉他对马斯克就没有权力了，而且还得帮民主党人打开证人席位。
第二，马斯克呢会被传唤，大概率会在新国会的头一百天。他的选择是拒绝作证拒绝出席，然后呢把每一次听证会变成一场秀。而他每拒绝一次，特朗普那句如果需要我会赦免Elon就更加金贵。
第三，马斯克和特朗普这两个人的关系会从盟友变为人质关系。马斯克需要特朗普保合同保赦免，而特朗普需要马斯克在2028年的钱和星穹的进度。谁都离不开谁当然谁也都互不信任。去年6月份那场撕破脸是在没有国会压力情况下发生的，那么接下来两年压力每天都在。
这三重风险接下来两年都不会同时消失。而作为AI的科技巨头马斯克他不是第一个也不会是最后一个，在联邦和州之间两头压轴的科技公司这两年估计都得学会同时做人。

Trump betrayed his own cult and squandered one of the biggest political opportunities in modern history.
He inherited the House, Senate, a 6-3 Supreme Court, a popular vote victory, and a sweep of every swing state. Republicans were winning the culture war. He had an actual mandate and a base ready to follow him anywhere.
Instead, he dragged us into a pointless war nobody wanted, gave us disastrous tariffs, higher costs, militarized policing, DOGE, crypto grifts, pardons for criminals, Epstein stonewalling, attacks on the Constitution, blatant self-enrichment, and virtually zero meaningful legislation.
Meanwhile, he's posting AI slop, obsessing over a ballroom nobody gives a fuck about, botching the Reflecting Pool, and picking fights with our allies.
And America is clearly exhausted. Many Republicans are tired of the narcissism, childish name-calling, nonstop vitriol, and manufactured hysteria about Democrats wanting to “trans your kids.” People want their lives to get better. They want affordability, stability, and some semblance of normalcy. They don't want to hear about John Husted's ass.
I see this as a nationwide rejection of what MAGA has become. It's joever.
An absolutely generational bag fumble.

For the last two years, the Trump Administration has been governed by a simple mantra: “We can just do things.” On Tuesday, voters replied, “So can we,” and wiped out the GOP. This was not a blue wave. This was not a blue tsunami. This was the breakup of a winning coalition.
Those voters, in breaking up the coalition, treated downballot races as proxies for their contempt of Washington, D.C. The race for dog catcher became nationalized because of Republican political malpractice.
In 2024, Donald Trump assembled a multiracial and multiethnic coalition of voters who bristled at the progressivism of the Democrats and the wreckage of the economy. By 2026, Trump and his White House acolytes set that coalition on fire to cater to a group of hyperonline grievance mongers who have confused Twitter with real life.
Last night, the American constitutional system worked as designed and worked so well and so thoroughly that the party that lied to itself in 2020 that it had lost only because the election was stolen is now lying to itself that it lost only because of gas prices and war. Last night’s drubbing was too complete to be theft.
It was gas prices.
And it was the war.
But it was also calling affordability a “hoax.”
And it was also the corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
The playing nice with Russia while treating our allies worse than our enemies.
The impression of cruelty.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The arrogance.
The ballroom.
The reflecting poll.
The golf courses.
The arch.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against enemies.
It turns out a weekend Fox and Friends host might not be a reassuring beacon of competence to Americans.
Gas prices and the war cannot explain a wipe out from top to bottom in Texas or Georgia or losing South Carolina or Ohio or a total coast to coast wipe out. Only the simpletons can believe that.
Adam Hamilton won Finney County in Kansas, which was a Trump +35 county in 2024 and he did so with Hispanic voters. He did not do that just because of war and gas prices.
And shall we talk about Mississippi?
A few weeks ago, Bo French in Texas attacked University of Texas students who were American citizens of Indian descent. A portion of the President’s base cheered him on. Even some within the Administration, on public Twitter accounts tied to the Administration, echoed him. Those voters’ parents repudiated the racism in the GOP and wiped out Republicans in Texas, not because they support the Democrats, but because the party they had supported turned on them. It was political malpractice by the GOP.
