Please be careful with reports and quotes from RawStory. Suggest you find a second and third source to confirm the truth. I do that whenever I get a RawStory coming my way.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

After 3 years of being blocked/delayed by creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson and fascist republicans, this Jan 6 honorary plaque meant to honor hero officers was installed at the US Capitol quietly at 4 am. It was required by law to be installed in March 2023. Shameless.

Flew to Aswan this morning and saw the Temple at Philae, moved (95 structures!) from one island to another because of flooding issuing from the Aswan Dam. Do you notice the darker color about halfway down? This marks the depth to which the structure had been submerged.

One good thing about rewatching films you already know quite well, is it encourages you to concentrate on aspects other than the narrative - in this case, Haskell Wexler's cinematography. [and to enjoy, always, the scenes between Steiger & Poitier].
