In 1776, we didn't ask for freedom — we declared it.
249 years later, we do the same.
We don't beg tyrants for justice.
We demand it — in the streets, with our voices, together.
📣 Protest this July 4th.
Because freedom isn't a gift — it's a right.

Wild. Russia admits Iran was in the process of producing nuclear weapons.
Medvedev might want to go easy on the Vodka.

Les largué.es du #numérique

Hetero Pride: Full-throttle Masculine Energy
A day of bromantic bonding, intense workout sessions, and, of course, all the cool-downs your buddies will never forget.
Celebrate your dominance. Embrace the strength. And while you're at it, ignore any fleeting thoughts of... something else. It's just bro time, not bro-therapy.
Come for the muscle, stay for the confidence. You know who you are. You’re not that guy—no matter how many perfectly sculpted men might surround you.

Trump goes nuclear on Rep. Massie for opposing Iran strikes. Massie called the attacks “not constitutional.”
Trump fired back, calling him “weak,” “ineffective,” a “pathetic LOSER” who MAGA should “drop like the plague” — vowing to take him down in Kentucky. All for questioning unchecked war powers. #press

Republican representative Thomas Massie calls Trump's attack on Iran unconstitutional.
And he is right in the sense that Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution says only Congress can declare war.

ha ha. In high school I used to hang out at this place all the time. I loved their greasy food.
I’m vegetarian now so it wouldn’t serve me. But I do have fond memories of their goods.

Suzi Sabotage drops Finnish single 'Suden synty' and video
Finnish goth and coldwave artist Suzi Sabotage has released a new single and video titled “Suden synty” via the Berlin-based label Out Of Line Music.Bernard - Side-Line Staff (SIDE-LINE)
"It's okay mom, we know the way."
This momma deer and her three fawns have been through our yard enough times that the young ones, seemingly more confident each time, venture ahead without waiting for mom to lead the way.
The video captures a serene backyard scene featuring a lush green lawn bordered by a wooden fence. In the background, a large tree stands prominently, providing a natural backdrop. The setting is tranquil, with a few deer visible throughout the video. Initially, two deer are seen: one adult and one fawn, with the adult grazing near the tree and the fawn standing a short distance away. As the video progresses, a third deer, another fawn, joins the scene, moving closer to the adult deer. The deer exhibit gentle movements, with the adult occasionally looking around and the fawns exploring the area. The video maintains a consistent, peaceful atmosphere, with the deer remaining the focal point against the backdrop of the green lawn and the tree. The overall scene is calm and undisturbed, highlighting the natural behavior of the deer in a suburban environment.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •What Russia appears to say is "They don't have nukes now, but you just gave them license to do so."
On Jan 14, 2025 Saudi Energy Minister Al Saud announced Saudi Arabia would begin to manufacture and sell enriched uranium. Saudi had signed the NNPT, so this would likely violate that, but Trump has announced no plans to bomb Riyadh.

I assume he is referring to Russia and North Korea.
