Here's that link but clickable.

The UN Secretary-General has urged countries (like Australia) to reinstate funding to UNRWA as it is a vital agency for providing humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees.

For context: 12 out of the tens of thousands of people who work for the UNRWA have allegedly engaged in terror attacks. Nine have been removed from the agency, one is confirmed dead, and the remaining two have yet to be identified. So because some staff have allegedly done terrible actions several countries have decided to stop funding the agency and therefore put the humanitarian aid of over a million Palestinians at risk. That's not to downplay the seriousness of what has happened - but it is also important that the work of the UNRWA continues given just how many lives depend upon it.

Just a reminder that Penny Wong is the Foreign Affairs Minister and is the most relevant person to contact:

moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.

After hours of research, I've compiled a definitive chart of what every dog every single Pikmin 4 NPC's name references. This time, I also added their original Japanese names in comparison to their English localized ones, as some of the breeds aren't entirely clear in the latter. I cross-referenced Pikipedia and Yuatoa Game Labo to formulate the best guesses between the two languages, so I hope this satisfies curious onlookers!

Special conundrum: Wolfgang.

So you would think Wolfgang would be an easy character to do this for, right. Obviously the wolf's in there, that's it, right? Except it's not because his name in Japanese isn't anything close to Wolfgang. It's Airu. As in Ireland. So all leads in Japanese led to Irish dogs, but all leads in English led to wolves and wolfdogs. And I have no idea why this translation discrepancy is so ridiculously gigantic that it blows all the rest of the names I was having issues with out of the water.

But I came to the conclusion that obviously the translation team would have the knowledge, they would choose something that still references the original concept especially on a theme as universal as dogs, so with that idea I came to this 3am guess: he's an Irish wolfhound.
