“Take Five” by Dave Brubeck Quartet was recorded 67 years ago today.

Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever.

The world’s strongest leaders, including the President of the U.S., have already told Russia that this war must end. However, Putin wants to keep fighting. That is why he must face conditions that make it impossible for him to keep this war going.

We are creating those conditions through our long-range strikes on Russian military and oil facilities. Our medium-range sanctions are also having an effect. They make it harder for Russia to occupy our territory, our lives, and we are doing everything we can to make the occupation unbearable for the occupier.

I want to thank everyone who supports our efforts. And I urge you to continue this support through new European Union sanctions.

🚨 Today the California Senate Committee held a hearing on the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” known as AB 2624. This bill will criminalize and punish anyone from looking into fraud inside immigrant communities in California.

This bill was created only after I exposed billions of dollars in fraud throughout immigrant communities in the US. “Immigration support services” have become a billion dollar industry in California, and now that the fraud has been exposed, they are trying to criminalize those who look into the fraud.

The bill has passed through the California Assembly and is set to pass through the Senate and then to Governor Newsom’s desk. This bill was created by the Attorney Generals WIFE and will allow him to go after citizens if they film nonprofits and “immigration support services providers”.

Welcome to Califraudia.

Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

This is real footage from 120 years ago.

None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...

What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.

The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.

Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...

By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.

And the film itself nearly went with it.

The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.

This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...

The attacks by the US and Israel are "reckless" and violate international law.

This statement was made by the Russian ambassador and scumbag at the United Nations, Nebenzia, at a UN Security Council meeting.

Russia has recklessly attacked Kostyantynivka with banned phosphorus, which destroys all living things, and dropped a FAB-1500 bomb on the city.

Russia has been violating international law in Ukraine for 1466 days.

To date, Russia has committed 217,000 documented war crimes in Ukraine.

Fuck russia.

Pakistanis in Karachi reportedly decided it would be a great idea to attack the US Consulate there due to US/Israeli strikes on Iran.

Naturally this was the moment the Marine Security Guard (MSG) detachment had been waiting their entire lives for and they reacted accordingly.

As the mob attempted to breach the perimeter of the Consulate the Marines did their job and protected the Consulate staff resulting in at least 9 of the attackers dying on site.

After learning that the USMC privates hopped up on white Monsters and 9mg Alp pouches are not to be fucked with, the rest of the rioters turned around and went home.

FAFO accordingly....

The word 'Islamophobia' prejudges the whole issue

The West allows criticism of organised
religion

Think of Thomas Paine in the 18th century, who listed mistakes in the Christian bible !

If Islam can't take criticism, it should stay in the countries where so-called 'blasphemy' is illegal

California's New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves

Your 3D printer needs to be on a DOJ-approved list or it can't be sold in California. Disabling the surveillance software? That's a misdemeanor. 🐻
