I was here when they filmed it. I was there to watch the test falls before he did it from the top. My sister's partner was a LFD paramedic. He was there the day it happened.

The alums report from the Pantheon in Paris as the induction of Robert Badinter, the man who rid France of the death penalty under Francois Mitterand’s government, is formally laid to rest, pantheon used as they say. UKJAMSchool alums Sarah Ladd and McKenna Horsley photo credit.

A black and white photo of Robert Badinter, the man who fought to end the death penalty in France is mounted on a larger white illuminated slab in a street square in Paris, France, near the Pantheon, where he was formally laid to rest. Badinter, who was orphaned by the Holocaust, died in 2024 of a heart attack.

The Pantheon in Paris, France is illuminated in cerulean blue light in the evening dark as a crowd fills the square to honor Robert Badinter, who fought to abolish the death penalty in the French justice system.

A deep dish pie
Joints are sore
Blood pressure high
Pudding, flan
And crème brûlée
None are safe

Today's fashionwear. I'll get back to the Woke Jesus shirt at some point since white Christian Nationalists are one of the roots of the present evil, but right now the front line is in the streets and Democratic members of Congress are notably absent.

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

It's too bad Steinbrenner isn't still alive to experience games like this. Delicious, it is.

I wonder who got to Fetterman? We were some of his biggest supporters. And then he sold out to something.

Nice breading. Takes some skill to make a tomato slice look so alluring.
