While still partial and unofficial, the results for the Senate and party-list representatives are very surprising.
Based on months of polling, Bam and Kiko barely made it into the winning 12 circle, but now they are already in the top 5 with 3/4 of election returns counted.
And Akbayan is the top party list? They didn’t win any seat in 2019 and narrowly lost in 2022 but are now poised to get 3 seats?

In 2022, this town was voted by CBC readers and viewers as the "Best Small Town in B.C.". Sure, it's got skiing, golf, scenery, and friendly people but it's also a destination for your next #BigStuffInSmallTowns road trip. Kimberley's downtown was designed to resemble a Bavarian tourist village, so it features an almost 7 metre tall cuckoo clock where Happy Hans, a Bavarian-style mountaineer, announces the time.

Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, unilaterally halted an agreed shipment of military aid to Ukraine due to baseless concerns that US stockpiles of weapons have run too low, it has been reported.
A batch of air defense missiles and other precision munitions were due to be sent to Ukraine to aid it in its ongoing war with Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbor in 2022. The aid was promised by the US during Joe Biden’s administration last year.

Running cars on E-Fuels, made with CO2 from the air and green Hydrogen?🚗⛽🌿⚡

Everyone sitting on a big chunk of IPv4 space is now holding a depreciating asset. If I were them I'd be minded to accelerate their own IPv6 transition in order to sell it off.
But I'd suggest that regardless.

Today was the third time the city of Maastricht saw it happen, and this was by far the earliest in summer for any station.

This check is invisible to the user, and most browsers since 2022 are able to complete this test.
In theory, bot scrapers could pretend to be users with browsers as well, but the ad…
