TWO MONTHS BEFORE Hamas attacked Israel, the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israelโs Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Code-named โSite 512,โ the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel. On October 7, however, when thousands of Hamas rockets were launched, Site 512 saw nothing โ because it is focused on Iran, more than 700 miles away.
The U.S. Army is quietly moving ahead with construction at Site 512, a classified base perched atop Mt. Har Qeren in the Negev, to include what government records describe as a โlife support facilityโ: military speak for barracks-like structures for personnel.
Though President Joe Biden and the White House insist that there are no plans to send U.S. troops to Israel amid its war on Hamas, a secret U.S. military presence in Israel already exists. And the government contracts and budget documents show it is evidently growing.
The $35.8 million U.S. troop facility, not publicly announced or previously reported, was obliquely referenced in an August 2 contract announcement by the Pentagon. Though the Defense Department has taken pains to obscure the siteโs true nature โ describing it in other records merely as a โclassified worldwideโ project โ budget documents reviewed by The Intercept reveal that it is part of Site 512. (The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

Thinking about... Young Josuke BEGGING his mom to do his hair the way the mysterious man That Night had his done.
Imagining Tomoko struggling to read through style magazines to find SOMETHING to help her mimic the pompadour style on her son.
Imagining Tomoko arguing with her tiny son about him needing to get his hair cut, and Josuke arguing that having longer hair would make styling it easier (he wins this round).
Imagining Tomoko mastering the pompadour style, able to do it in record time so that she won't have to wake up an hour early every morning just to style her son's hair.
Imagining Tomoko realizing she'd styled Josuke's hair for the last time, seeing him do it himself without trouble. Relief mixed with a pang of longing because her little boy is growing up and doesn't need her to do his hair anymore.

As odd as it sounds, I kinda have a brainworm to give Fuyuka this problem I have, where if I exert myself too much/ or run, like at all, my heart beats too fast and I get all dizzy, weak/faint & pukey feeling. but idk how thatโd work with her being a slayer Yโknow?, because sheโd probably be unable to perform her duty, because sheโd end up fainting and/or throwing up from a bit of chasing. ๐ญ๐ญ
I probably need to talk to a doctor about it instead of just skipping straight to projecting onto my characters, lmaoo

Before we continue, is this a personal moral failing or a mental illness? I need to know whether I should treat you like an evil monster or a helpless child when I unperson you.
