Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.
Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:
1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years
• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)
This is truly terrible.
The Lavra is quite isolated from all official buildings, so the Russians can't claim anything but that they wanted to destroy one of Ukraine's finest cathedrals, following Stalin's tradition.
BREAKING:
A Russian drone has struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
Built in 1051, the monastery is the most important site of Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine.
Right now the seat of eastern orthodox christianity in kyiv built in 1051 is burning because russia launched hypersonic missiles at it.
So much for trad values they’re so vocal about
This isn’t a coincidence that this attack happened tonight. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra carries deep significance for Ukrainians. Putin knew Donald Trump would be celebrating his birthday and that U.S. media would be talking about the UFC fight, leaving public attention elsewhere.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
This gay club looks fabulous.
They've got everything. Sweaty men wrestling, guys on motorcycles in leather jackets, gold everywhere, and the Village People performing.
Aside from desecrating the White House, you’re making MARINES stand there at attention for fucking dirt bikes?
You disrespectful, toxic Nazis are going to get destroyed.
Everyone in this white trash mafia has marked themselves for life.
Cocchiarella: There’s a 100% chance of bugs. That’s a real stat.
So Trump’s acolyte, Dana White, has literally lined the cage with industrial fans to blow the gnats off the fighters.
For this octogenarian’s birthday, the failing, aging king—decaying in real time—has decided to throw himself a giant blood-sport party on the palace lawn to prove that he is still strong. And heaven responds by sending a heat wave, a thunderstorm, and a literal plague of insects down on top of him.
The $TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates. The coin has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak https://t.co/D6RjrGkMnV @specialreports
🚨 BREAKING
Trump drove his motorcade across the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while resurfacing work was still underway.
As someone who constantly reminds us he's a "builder," he should have known exactly what that means.
If leaks, blisters, delamination, cracking, or coating failures appear later, the contractor now has an obvious response:
"You drove armored vehicles across our work."
That's not a political argument.
That's a warranty argument.
Pool coatings and waterproofing systems typically come with cure requirements, traffic restrictions, and exclusions for owner-caused damage.
In construction, documented heavy vehicle traffic on a freshly resurfaced system is the kind of thing contractors point to when they deny warranty claims.
The irony is hard to miss.
A project intended to stop leaks now has documented coating defects.
And the owner created a highly public record of driving a motorcade across the very surface that was supposed to keep the water in.
UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
New: Joe Rogan reveals to bowhunter Cameron Hanes that’s he’s extremely nervous about something bad happening at UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn:
ROGAN: “The UFC built this canopy over the cage to protect against rain. It’s 92 feet in the air and they call it The Claw.”
HANES: “Did you see those thunderstorms coming in?”
ROGAN: “Oh yeah we’re f*cked. I saw Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje working out outside and the weather is just so heavy.”
HANES: “I don’t think it’s good if lightning hits that Claw.”
ROGAN: “I’m more worried about a terrorist attack than I am about some lightning.”
HANES: “That’s true.”
ROGAN: “I don’t know anyone that’s gotten hit by a terrorist attack, but I do know people who have gotten struck by lightning and it’s such a horrible way to die.”
Dana White whines about the UFC arena at the White House:
"I hate stadiums and even worse than a stadium is fighting outside... The weather, the worst being rain and lightning, and then bugs and temperatures and lots of things I don't like."
ZELENSKYY: War will stop if Russia decides to stop. I understand what Russians and Americans discussed in Anchorage. Putin's lying to Trump. It's a mistake to negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine, especially for U.S. We're ready to stop the war, but won't leave our territory.
