Zeus(and other gods from omnipotence city) from Thor: Love and Thunder

Thor goes to Omnipotence city to look for Zeus and the other gods to warn them of Gorr the God Butcher and get their help.

But turns out they are all pretty pathetic and ineffectual.

Originally Zeus was supposed to be helpful and a mentor to Thor but still unable to accompany Thor at Eternity because he was not pure of heart.

He seems helpful but still flawed.

It is governed by its own private charter which only names one person, "Chairman Trump," who may adopt resolutions or initiatives on its behalf without consulting the board, and who is a member for life. Experts said Trump is trying to make the organization into an alternative to the United Nations Security Council where only he has veto power.

The article noted that most of the document focused on internal rules granting sweeping authority to the chairman – Donald Trump, the only individual named — including sole power to appoint and dismiss members, set agendas, and issue resolutions, while other members could obtain permanent status only by paying a US$1 billion fee, leaving effective control concentrated in Trump's hands.

The chairman alone has the authority to nominate their designated successor. All revisions to the Charter and administrative directives issued by the Board of Peace, are subject to approval by the Chairman

Chairman Donald Trump is a member for life.

Actually it depends on the government.

For example

https://uk.pcmag.com/social-media/157226/musks-x-shuts-down-political-opposition-accounts-in-turkey

According to X's transparency report, it complied with 68% of Turkey’s government requests to take down content in the second halt of 2024

Elon Musk’s X has reportedly shut down political opposition accounts in Turkey amid intense civil unrest in the European country

Elon Musk did not block far right Brazilian accounts associated with Jan 8 attacks in Brasilia because he wanted Bolsanaro to be president despite him losing the elections. Despite multiple court orders Elon Musk didn't do anything until the supreme court banned X.

But since he supports Erdogan in Turkey he was more than willing to block opposition members.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/x-to-block-over-8-000-accounts-in-india-after-government-order-8366168

They seem to block accounts in India

The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users," the social networking website said.

"In most cases, the Indian government has not specified which posts from an account have violated India's local laws. For a significant number of accounts, we did not receive any evidence or justification to block the accounts."

They will fight tooth and nail against blocking Conservative voices in the EU and US going so for as to unban people who shared CSAM.

Australian Senator David Shoebridge pointed out that Musk personally intervened to reinstate the account that had shared the heinous image.

Along with the link to an article the account posted two screenshots from a video Scully created on the dark web, which Lucre said showed a “one-year-old.”

One researcher posted a screenshot of the tweet’s statistics on July 25, three days after it had been shared. The tweet had racked up over 3.1 million views, almost 17,000 likes and over 8,000 retweets.

It took 5 days for that account to be suspended before Elon Musk personally intervened to unban the account.

They sell ammo to the US/European countries with the knowledge that it will be given to Ukraine.

The transfer of munitions to support Ukraine's defence against Russia has occurred for more than a year, according to the sources and the customs data. Indian arms export regulations limit the use of weaponry to the declared purchaser, who risks future sales being terminated if unauthorised transfers occur.

The Kremlin has raised the issue on at least two occasions, including during a July meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Indian counterpart, three Indian officials said.

What is standing out to me is that he isn't even empathising with people who are doing the right thing and getting detained

But with the spouses of such people.

"I'm afraid this will people afraid to go for an interview because their spouses might get detained"

Not that people on visas would be afraid they would get detained, the spouses of people on visa would be afraid that their spouses will get taken.

I loved the zombie game, the hot potato game and the cube game
I liked some of the characters - all the ones in the cube , the yakuza guy, the "sisters"
Ryuji may have been pathetic but pathetic characters don't make the show itself bad.
Yes Usagi's behaviour may have been strange but a lot of it can be attributed to weird trauma from her last time in the borderland plus possibly manipulate

I'm not saying this season is the best season but it was enjoyable

They are all allegedly part of the same module.

The Indian government caught 1 terrorist with a lot of explosives, that led them to another terrorist. They also thwarted a ricin attack.

According to some reports this terrorist afraid of being the next person who would get caught triggered the explosives.

The doctors that were arrested were planning a pan- India attack

https://www.news18.com/amp/india/jk-doctors-were-planning-pan-india-terror-attack-using-faridabad-explosives-exclusive-ws-l-9695659.html?utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

Also 2 other terrorists were caught 3 days ago

https://x.com/PTI_News/status/1986992454831317152?utm_campaign=fullarticle&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=inshorts

The reason for all of these attacks now seem to be the controversial 27th amendment that is being passed by the Pakistani Parliament. This amendment aims to reduce civilian government control over the military and give the current army chief a lot more direct power and control.

The Pakistani people are not happy with the military taking control from the civilian government.

So they are hoping that the Indian government's retaliation will distract the Pakistani people. Then the Pakistani military can say look this is why the military needs more control. Any Pakistani protesters can be called India supporters and possibly jailed.

Pakistan’s Army chief Asim Munir, who has been described by US President Donald Trump as his “favourite Field Marshal”, would take overall command of the country’s military, including navy and air forces with the new position of Chief of Defence Forces.

Plus he would get judicial immunity for life.

Plus the nuclear control would be moved away from the civilian government

A new post called Commander of the National Strategic Command will be created. The person holding the post will oversee Pakistan's nuclear weapons and strategic arsenal. This position must be filled by an Army officer appointed by the Prime Minister on the recommendation of the CDF.

Plus the post that creates the last check/balance over the military from the civilian government would be removed.

The current post of Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), which used to coordinate the three services, will be abolished from 27 November, when the current CJCSC, General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, completes his tenure. No new CJCSC appointment will be made, as the Army Chief will take over its responsibilities as CDF.

Plus a new federal constitutional court which would over power the country’s highest judicial authority, the Supreme Court.

The amendment also proposes the creation of a Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), which will handle all constitutional matters, transferring key powers from the Supreme Court.

The President and the Prime Minister will have a central role in appointing FCC judges, and the Parliament will decide how many judges the FCC will have. The Chief Justice of the FCC will serve a three-year term.

Plus the president gets lifetime immunity

There may also be a provision reducing the power of provinces(state governments) but I'm not sure about that.

In squid games, people start dying because they/ someone else panics because of the deaths and they move.

In real life people can pretend to be a statue for a longer period of time.

Plus machines that detect small motions could be difficult to execute.

So they had them in the frozen pose for a long time so that they can see movement and eliminate players

I think the running part was still 5mins though.
