A psychedelic classic from the Beatles: "Tomorrow Never Knows."
The Ken Burns documentary on the Vietnam War seems to imply the song was broadcast by Saigon Radio during the Tet Offensive attack on Saigon in 1968, but this is not certain.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump woulda gone in the military, he woulda been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

On This Day— The official music video for Alice in Chains’ “Down in a Hole” was filmed in a single day, August 9, 1993, in Johannesburg, CA—a small, unincorporated desert community in Kern County with a population of just 113.

$28,303 a year for family health insurance. Up 387% since 1999. And after paying that, families still face deductibles, copays, prior authorizations, and a 7-minute visit with a doctor who's staring at a screen. You're not paying for care. You're paying for the middlemen.
BREAKING: The average cost of a family’s annual health insurance premium in the US is up +$1,303 YoY, or +5%, to a record $28,303.
This marks the 4th consecutive annual increase of at least +$1,300.
Over this period, the average annual premium for family coverage has surged +$5,884, or +26%.
To put this into perspective, CPI inflation has risen +13% over the same period, or half as much.
Since 1999, the average health insurance premium for a family has soared +$22,494, or +387%.
This represents an average annual growth rate of +6.1%, well above CPI inflation at +2.6% over the same period.
Health insurance has never been more expensive.

Elon Musk knew that Starlink was vital to Ukraine’s strategy and had extensive knowledge of its use for years.
I can compile a sequence of events from years ago and show that there were already statements about this use.
Not only that, the satellite network management software provides information about where and how the network is being used.
Only now, after Trump formed an agreement with Putin and pressured Zelensky, has Elon Musk condemned the use of his network.
No country in the world should have its security held hostage by a foreign private company.
Anyone in this kind of dependency, no matter how much propaganda they push, is nothing more than an ATM in defense terms.
Impressed with this "Sidewinder Boot" tactical flashlight. Much smaller and brighter than the old Vietnam-era Moonbeam lights we had in the 90s.
