The race for the next mayor of Los Angeles has become even more intense as
Council Member Nithya Raman officially launched her campaign on Saturday.
Her announcement came just hours before the city’s filing deadline.
Nithya Raman said Los Angeles needs a leader who will take full responsibility for the challenges the city faces.
Raman represents District 4, which stretches from parts of the San Fernando Valley to neighborhoods like Los Feliz, the Hollywood Hills, and…

Because of the films and TV shows of my youth, I will never not think a viola case isn’t concealing a machine gun. Even when being carried by a young child on the way to school.

As the Red Army was pushing into Berlin, Hitler tried to order the destruction of German Industry. It was not simply to prevent the allies from continuing, but also to punish the German people for failing him. The film Downfall portrays him believing that the German people had shown themselves to be weak and that they deserved to die.
Trump has always had some Hitler energy. It's been reported multiple times that he keeps a collection of Hitler speeches by his bed. As he threatens Greenland, everyone wants to jump to compare that to Poland. The thing is, he doesn't have Hitler 1939 energy. He has Hitler 1945 energy.
Everyone knows he's a pedophile and a rapist. He's a loser and he'll do anything to distract from that. He would literally start WWIII if he thought it would give him a few more days. He's a coward who's afraid to face what he's done. But he's a coward with nuclear weapons.
I just hope the people around him value their life more than they are loyal to him.

So the new #Kreutz #comet #MAPS is *still* following the constant rapid rise in brightness it has shown since discovery: a dumb extrapolation - https://cobs.si/analysis/?comet=2688&from_date=2026-01-15 00:00&to_date=2026-04-30 00:00&observation_type=V&observation_type=C&plot_x_value=1&plot_y_value=1&fit_option=1&exclude_faint=on&exclude_issue=on&observer=&association=&country=&compare_values=compare - has it get 10,000-times brighter than the Sun at its extremely close perihelion which makes so sense at all, of course, physically.
"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."

Ich erinnere mich wieder, warum ich beim Skifahren immer die Skihütten gemieden habe und lieber gehungert habe.
Wie kann man so viele Classics und Hits der 80er und 90er so verhunzen? Die Musik kann doch keiner mögen, ausser man trinkt viel... Ooooh! Das ist ein Geschäftsmodell!!!

Met -te- voorzichtig zijn weet Nederland weer eens flink te wrijven in de eigen vlek.
Door eenvoudig op minimale wijze slechts te wijzen op het feit dat dit 'niet past in de huidige rechtsgang' was de hele kous afgedaan. Ook dan was de oppositie boos geworden, maar was het allemaal niet opgevallen in de hele stroom van afwijzingen.
Maar nee ... Nu de volle aandacht
