On June 8, 1998, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, along with their wives and children, attended a service at St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in central London, where they participated in a memorial service for his wife, Linda McCartney, who died of breast cancer.
Monday June 8, 2026, 9:19 PM: Latest sea surface temperatures off the coast of Peru have now reached 2.1 Celsius in the Nino 1+2 region and Nino 3 region now 1.0 Celsius. The Nino 3.4 is now 0.7 Celsius, as well as the Nino 4 region. Compared to last update last Thursday significantly warmer. Also, three tropical systems now off the coast of Mexico brought significant floods last week in Oaxaca to Acapulco, Mexico.
Hints of tropical moisture teleconnection June 12 - 15,2026 for Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico already. More numerous events will be coming into our region stronger in the upcoming eight weeks as tropical systems get robust. #ElNino #hurricaneseason #Monsoonseason #CAwx

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
Extremely rare 'White Auroras' spotted over Norway.
The sky over Norway just did something it almost never does.
Photographers chasing the northern lights got the shock of their lives.
Instead of the usual greens and purples dancing overhead, the auroras turned ghostly white.
Pure. Pale. Almost glowing.
It's one of the rarest aurora displays on Earth.
Scientists say white auroras happen when multiple aurora colors overload the human eye at once, blending together until they appear colorless. The brain simply can't process all the wavelengths firing at the same time, so it surrenders and sees white.
Most aurora chasers go their entire careers without witnessing it.
Norway just delivered the impossible.
Cameras across the Arctic captured the eerie phenomenon lighting up the night like frozen lightning, leaving even seasoned skywatchers speechless.
Some called it otherworldly.
Others said it looked like the sky was bleeding light.
And for a few unforgettable minutes, the heavens above Norway turned into something nobody had ever seen before.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🫵🏻🫡
My respect 96 years .

Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

Special Important Monthly May 2026 to Early June 2026 El Niño Real Time Updates and Climate
Wednesday, June 4, 2026, 10:50 AM: The latest sea surface temperatures off the coast of Peru are 1.7 Celsius; this warmth has jumped significantly since May 9, 2026, when it was 0.7 Celsius.
The Niño 3 buoy that extends from the Galapagos Islands to 300 miles due east of the Marshall Islands increased from 0.5 Celsius to 0.8, a moderate increase.
The Nino 3.4 region from 0.4 to 0.5 degrees Celsius is a very slight change.
The ongoing marine heatwave from the warming of the Pacific last May 2025 has expanded and merged with the very early stages of development of El Nino in early June 2026, making this a more complex forecast moving forward. This real-time data is not all projected to be part of viral supercomputers of super El Nino yet trajectory later this year.
Climate-wise, more late-season rainfall in California and Hawaii this past May 2026. Severe weather impacts were more intense from April 21 to May 2, 2026. Afterward, a more focused northward trajectory to Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa, which saw EF3 tornadoes on May 19 - 23, 2026. Also, Texas, due to California systems coming in, had an influence on Fort Worth, Texas in late April 2026 and early May, a terrible tornado outbreak.
A record snowstorm in Colorado brought feet of snow to the region. That’s been begging for snow accumulation for the last snow season. California’s Sierra has more late-season snow as well from a potent Siberian low in 2026, with torrential rains in parts of central California, bringing hail to Davis and numerous severe thunderstorms.
The Eastern Pacific Hurricane season is starting with its first named system, “Amanda,” on June 3, 2026. More development near Southern Mexico has caused significant flooding already, with the closest to approximately 1.7 degrees Celsius body of water and intersections of the marine heat wave. It’s going to be interesting to see how the rest of June 2026 evolves in the tropics, with an area being watched in the Gulf and off Acapulco, Mexico.
In addition to this, there is also a pretty expanse of a gradual heat wave in India, and above-average temperatures in western Europe continue for the third week in a row.
At this present time, California does not have any major heat wave yet until maybe after June 20 - 24, 2026, which is climatologically a more favorable time with the development of the Four Corners High taking shape over Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, and Southern California. The probability of seeing a major heat wave right now is less than 45% at this time frame, which could change in the next week or so.
The only monkey wrench is that the ongoing marine heat wave could change those temperatures and make it cooler in the Southwest than average for the rest of June 2026, like it did last year. There are a lot of factors involved in these forecasts that are still being looked at.
The main focus for the southwest will be the tropics being teleconnected into the region in early summer 2026 to see how this pans out, and how the monsoon timing situates itself over the region. #ElNino #CAwx #Hurricaneseason #monsoonseason
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.
And the wildest part?
One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.
Think about that.
The legendary Los Angeles studio concertmaster and violinist Eudice Shapiro was the featured solo violinist on the 1963 Irma la Douce soundtrack. Conducted and arranged by André Previn, Shapiro recorded the sweeping, romantic violin lines for the film's iconic musical score,
In 1942, Eudice Shapiro walked through the doors of a soundstage in Hollywood for a recording session with the RKO Studio Orchestra. Her performance was exemplary, but its significance far exceeded the film music they recorded. That session reverberated with female musicians
