For the pastors or doomsday fanatics- jamaica as well as the islands in the Caribbean are in a hurricane and earthquake zone. One or the other natural disaster, can affect us. So no, its not "God" punishing us for carnival, or witchcraft or wickedness. Go find something else 2 do with ur sad life.

Good morning! 5:52am, Sunday, Oct 26, 2025. Waiting for Hurricane #Melissa. Here in Liguanea, it's very still. Not a breath of wind. Light rain on&off. I can hear the birds' morning chorus. Yesterday my 8-year-old granddaughter asked me where birds go during a hurricane. #Jamaica

It was so still today. A number of times, I stared at the trees in my garden & not a leaf was moving. The proverbial calm before the storm. Thirty-seven years ago, I went through Hurricane Gilbert and it was a frightening experience. Tonight I am waiting for Hurricane #Melissa... #Kingston #Jamaica

Has the Ministry of Finance issued a replacement statement for the FID selection statement that it withdrew yesterday? Or given a reason for the withdrawal of the statement? If there's a link, could someone share it? Thanks! #Jamaica

The absurd crackdown on Bob Vylan and Kneecap is only going to make them more popular with the majority around the world and bring focus to Israel's war crimes in Gaza and the horrific abuses by the IDF against Palestinians. Israel has lost the culture war, the narrative, and the moral ground.

170 days into 2025 and the Jamaican police have killed 154 people. 18 people killed so far in June. 5 people were killed today. The graphic below is taken from the INDECOM website, on June 19, 2025. www.indecom.gov.jm/reports #Jamaica

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Definitely worth reading...

INDECOM press release today re most recent fatal shooting by police. As of June 4, 2025, 140 people fatally shot by Jamaica's security forces. (Almost entirely by police.) 140 ppl killed in 155 days.

The debate about climate change is over. The science is clear that it's happening and that humans are causing it. It's already causing trillions of $ in damage. If we want to avoid the worst impacts of it, we must address the worst polluters: dsfdn.org/PrioritizePe...

Yes, under cover of darkness, without due process...I wonder which JDF ship will be used to return the Haitians who sought refuge in Jamaica back to Haiti...HMJS Marcus Garvey? HMJS Nanny of the Maroons? HMJS Paul Bogle? #Haiti #Jamaica

On May 18 (Haitian Flag Day) a small boat carrying 40 Haitian men, women, children, and a baby landed in Jamaica. One hoped that they would have been treated differently from refugees who have landed here in the past. However they will be shipped back ASAP to the fear and the horror. No due process!
