Pope Leo XIV used his first Sunday address to the faithful to call for peace. “Never again war,” he said to a roar from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

Have a nice day everyone! Please can someone tell me the country and time when a junior officer removed senior officers? Please tell me, I personally don't know of such incidents in History, but it could be my ignorance😓. (Please don't name the United States😅)

This article doesn't pull any punches, provides a clear picture of the issues, & succinctly covers the impending destruction of even the largest legacy brands. www.freightwaves.com/news/tariffs...

Tariffs could mean the end of the line for the model railroad industry
The model railroad industry relies on Asia-sourced parts and pieces for success and tariffs could spell disaster for this niche hobby.

This stamp mill near Rollinsville, Colorado must have been horrifying to see in operation, with its steam engine billowing black smoke and steam, pistons hissing and clanking, drive belts flapping, and cams clattering, all to lift hammers that turn rocks into powder. #colorado #ruins #photography

Traces of Texas reader Randell Tarin kindly sent in this 1935 photo of his father, John Henry Tarin, selling Fritos, “The New Mexican Crispie,” in downtown San Antonio for 5¢ a bag. He was 13-14 years old. Fritos made their debut in 1932, so this was just after Fritos became available. Wunderbar!

Underwater photography in 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1916). Underwater scenes had been popular since the 1890s but had been achieved via sets, props and even shooting through a water tank. This film was properly in the ocean.
