The image features a Rottweiler dog lying on a wicker chair with a blue cushion. The dog has a black and tan coat, with distinctive markings on its face, chest, and paws. It is wearing a collar with a metal buckle and a leash attached. The dog is looking to the side, with its mouth slightly open, and appears relaxed. Next to the dog, there is a large bone, likely a chew toy, resting on the cushion. The background shows a lush green tree, indicating an outdoor setting, possibly a porch or patio. The chair is made of brown wicker, and the cushion is blue with a white trim. The overall scene is calm and serene, with the dog as the focal point.

Siempre es un buen día para escuchar al enorme José Larralde. Acá en un programa de 1995, con Alberto Badía, en una entrevista en la que recuerda a Jorge Cafrune (otro imprescindible de la canción popular rioplatense), cuenta sus comienzos como cantor en el Festival de Cosquín, comparte algunos pareceres acerca de la música y la cultura argentina, y canta tres temas del disco que había sacado por aquel entonces: las milongas "Como quien mira una espera" (que dio nombre al álbum) y "Fogonera" y el tango "Afiche", de Atilio Stapone y Homero Expósito.
"Fogonera" tiene una gran letra, alusiva a aquellos tiempos de la década del noventa (con muchas resonancias en este lamentable presente), que remata su estribillo con aquello de "qué grande se ha hecho la franja / entre el arriba y abajo, / unos se van pal' Miami / y otros se van pal carajo".

In the London Evening News, the Paul Temple comic strip ran from 11 December 1950 until 1 May 1971. According to the Buggles, “Video Killed the Radio Star”. In Paul Temple’s case, the television series killed the comic strip - the television series featured a rival newspaper, hence the axe.

That effect with the ice on the blue letters looks very modern, almost 1980s, not 1940s, though they wouldn't use that cowboy-ass font in the 1980s. I really love the expression on her face there as she points the gun. She's not just the femme fatale she's the slightly mad Carmen Sternwood type.

The image depicts a dramatic space battle scene. In the foreground, a large, red, cylindrical spaceship dominates the scene, with multiple smaller ships flying around it. The ship has a complex structure with various protrusions and what appear to be weapon systems. The background is filled with a fiery, orange-red sky, suggesting an intense battle environment. Several smaller ships are visible, some emitting trails of light, indicating movement or firing. The overall color palette is dominated by reds, oranges, and yellows, enhancing the sense of chaos and destruction. The scene conveys a sense of action and conflict, with the large ship seemingly at the center of the battle.

Russia is turning over 50,000 Ukrainian children into tools of war through camps, indoctrination, and forced deportation. Kremlin kidnap regime strip 🇺🇦children of their identity and indoctrination them to fight against Ukraine is Russian depravity.
Russian war criminal Putin invaded Ukraine over three years ago with the intent of stealing its children. Putin launched his imperial conquest to first and foremost dominate the Ukrainian people, and he recognized that to deprive Ukraine of its children would be to deprive it of its multigenerational potential. When Russian troops rolled across the border into Ukraine on the night of February 24, 2022, the groundwork for the massive deportation of Ukraine’s children was already well underway.

Israel Is Changing Its Story on the Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh - Again
The Israeli military is changing its story on the 2022 killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh – again.
This time, it’s in response to our new investigative documentary, ‘Who Killed Shireen?’ which revealed for the first time the name of the Israeli soldier who fired the fatal shots.
It is hard to keep the ever-shifting stories straight.
When we reached out to the Israeli military for comment earlier this month before we released ‘Who Killed Shireen?’ their response was that it declined to comment. But then, after the film was finalized, the Israeli military story changed – again.
Now, the Israeli military says, “There is no definitive determination regarding the identity of the individual responsible for the shooting that caused the journalist’s death.”
That is in direct contradiction to what the Israeli military officials told foreign reporters when they briefed them on their investigation’s final conclusions. The Israeli military story went from essentially saying: ‘We spoke to the soldier who killed her and he didn’t mean to do it,’ to ‘we couldn’t figure out which soldier might have killed her.’

After Zeteo's film revealed the name of the soldier who killed the journalist, Israel claimed his identity had not been definitely determined. Yet, as we found, it has known who did it for years.Dion Nissenbaum (Zeteo)

A democratic system of government ?
"The Australian government is refusing freedom of information requests at a rate not seen for a decade, data shows, prompting concerns for transparency and accountability."
"Transparency International Australia chief executive officer, Clancy Moore, said the FoI system was an essential tool in ensuring accountability and integrity, but refusal rates suggested “important information about the functioning of government is being kept from everyday Australians”.
