Gotta love this light-hearted video of men in the Ukrainian military jamming out to “What is love?” while supporting Hawaii with their shirts and paying tribute to ‘Night at the Roxbury’.

I’ve seen numerous Americans complain about this video, saying things like “this is what our money is going to?”

Yes, this is what our money is going to. It’s going to freedom.

With that said, I hope that we can help broker some sort of deal between both countries so that more lives are not lost, and the war doesn’t widen in scope.

In the meantime, I hope these men keep fighting for there freedom and their homeland.

I desperately need help from a 501c3 somewhere in California! I am trying to pull a puppy off the euthanasia list. I have vets on standby and transporters ready! They will not let me pull her because I am not in California. PLEASE if you know anyone🙏🏻 I will fund everything!

Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, “Because of You,” his first #1 hit.

Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever. ❤

That’s why I preferred the book.

one of my underrated favourite views in Vancouver

you’ve got the war memorial and Woodward’s, the Dominion Building and the the mountains, the past and the present, dreams and despair, all in a single block

[MJ Ankenman @Urbanista]

Wow

[Diamond Isinger @diamondisinger]

Vancouver traffic is the worst, etc. (Good thing most of the Stanley Park bike lanes were dismantled a few weeks ago, what with the low demand for summer cycling/running/walking & all... 🙄)

The President of the United States just scolded the Conservative caucus for not clapping for 50% women cabinets.

The Conservatives are now an international embarrassment. The whole world just saw that.

Thank you Joe!
