In the public imagination, homelessness looks like the man in soiled clothes sleeping on top of a subway grate or the woman peering out of a tent from under a highway overpass. But in cities and towns that have the highest concentrations of homelessness, many — and sometimes a majority — of those who do not live in shelters are in cars, not on the streets, according to the annual census known as the “point in time count.”

Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, where the very fabric of reality seems to have been torn apart. The air is crisp and cold, with a hint of wood smoke and ash. The sky above is a deep, foreboding grey, with snowflakes gently falling onto the frozen mountain landscape.

In the distance, a lone building stands tall, its sleek, futuristic design a stark contrast to the barren, icy surroundings. The snow falls gently around it, casting an otherworldly glow over the entire scene.

As you watch, the dark ambient music washes over you, drawing you deeper into this dystopian world. The soundscape is haunting and evocative, with a sense of longing and despair that perfectly captures the mood of this frozen, post-apocalyptic landscape.

Yeap, the clown car gets another clown.

YouTube sensation Rachel Griffin Accurso (42), famous for her Songs for Littles series, is under the radar of antisemitism watchdog group StopAntisemitism.

The group has accused her of spreading anti-Israel content and pro-Hamas propaganda through her posts about the Gaza conflict.

Among the disputed content shared by Accurso were viral images of a child, purportedly showing starvation in Gaza.

StopAntisemitism claimed these images were debunked and that the child, Fadi al-Zant, wasn't starving but suffering from cystic fibrosis.

However, the child's mother has clarified to The Washington Post that her son was indeed suffering from both cystic fibrosis and starvation.
