🌍 Gaza is starving to death — and the world must not stay silent.

❗This is not just a headline. It’s our reality.

No food. No medicine. No safe place left.

We cry out in every language, hoping someone hears us:

غزة تموت جوعاً

Gaza is starving to death

Gaza meurt de faim

Gaza se muere de hambre

Gaza verhungert

Gaza sta morendo di fame

Газа умирает от голода

加沙正在饿死

ガザは飢えで死にかけている

가자는 굶어 죽어가고 있다

Gazze açlıktan ölüyor

गाज़ा भूख से मर रहा है

Gaza está morrendo de fome

Gaza sekarat karena kelaparan

غزہ بھوک سے مر رہا ہے

غزه از گرسنگی در حال مرگ است

Η Γάζα πεθαίνει από την πείνα

Gaza svälter ihjäl

Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis was an early stegosaur that lived during the mid-Jurassic, about 166 million years ago, in what is now southwestern China.

Around 4.5m long (~14'9"), it had relatively small back plates and a pair of enormous shoulder spikes. It's unclear exactly how the shoulder spines were positioned in life, but based on how they were found articulated in a fairly complete skeleton they seem to have swept sideways and backwards, protecting Gigantspinosaurus' flanks.

Skin impressions show a mosaic of polygonal scales with scattered "rosettes" made up of larger scales surrounded by a ring of smaller scales, with a rough ridged surface texture that may have reduced light glare – suggesting an overall more matte appearance rather than glossy.

The thigh bones of one specimen are pathological, showing evidence that these dinosaurs sometimes suffered from bone tumors.

Why do indie horror game protagonists always have so much food just sitting there uncovered day and night. Maybe it's not a demon or a serial killer but the mold growing on those uncovered plates of spaghetti with meatballs and stale pizza slices.
