Police shoot & kill family dog—still wearing his custom Knicks jersey.

His mother & him were just celebrating the basketball win—neighbors called 911 to report a "domestic disturbance."

"He wasn’t baring his teeth, wasn’t growling, wasn’t aggressive—he wasn’t even barking," she said.

"The next thing I know, Jamison is lying on the ground... He’s my baby!"

Marie Marseille is a nurse originally from New York—her Golden Saint Berdoodle is named Jamison.

LAPD released an official statement saying the shooting "remains under investigation."

Incident occurred at the Jordan Condominiums in the Canoga Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
Marie Marseille's grief captured on video drew an outpouring of anger from neighbors who knew her dog Jamison at the complex.

"What is the purpose of all of you?" one neighbor is heard saying in the video. "This is what we pay for?!"

"He’s my baby," Marseille said through tears. "It doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t make sense of anything."

She says she was trying to put Jamison away when the dog slipped outside and simply walked toward an officer before the shooting occurred.

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid.

Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia.

Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵 Image
What the world saw: on October 23, 1984, the BBC aired a report by correspondent Michael Buerk with footage filmed in the Korem refugee camp by Kenyan photographer Mohamed Amin.

Within weeks, 425 television stations had rebroadcast those images of starving children to roughly 470 million viewers worldwide.Image
The crisis was framed almost entirely as a natural disaster, the work of a catastrophic drought striking a poor country. Television footage showed cracked earth, dying livestock, and skeletal children.

The government in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, was barely named in Western coverage. Its policies were not named at all.Image

How I lowered my resting heart rate from the 70s to the 40s (and why it matters)
Read this important thread, repost it for wider reach and bookmark for future reference. Post your comments and queries below.

1/n
🔸My resting heart rate (RHR) used to be in the 70s. Today, it is consistently in the low-to-mid 40s.
🔸I did not take any special supplements, and there are no hacks either. The ‘secret” is just 5.5 years of consistent lifestyle changes.
2/n
The biggest factor was running.
🔸For the first 2 years, I averaged 10–15 km/day. Over the last few years, I have averaged 6-8 km/day.
🔸Regular aerobic exercise trains the heart to pump more blood with each beat, so it doesn't need to beat as often at rest.
3/n
Weight loss also played a major role.
🔸I reduced my weight from 100 kg to 71 kg (-29 kg).
🔸Excess body weight increases cardiac workload and sympathetic nervous system activity. Weight reduction often leads to a lower resting heart rate.

100s of drones downed over Moscow & a major oil refinery ablaze for the 2nd time in a week. Ukraine's largest strike on Moscow leads this week's update. 1/5 Image
2/ The deep-strike campaign is now a central element of Ukraine's war to defend itself and secure a just peace. By Kyiv's own accounting it has knocked out roughly a tenth of Russia's refining capacity. On the ground, Russia's spring offensive in Donetsk looks close to culminating.
3/ In the Pacific, INDOPACOM reverts to Pacific Command as Beijing presses around Taiwan, the Philippines and Japan.

The South lost the Civil War. Then it won the story.

For a century, the “Lost Cause” narrative turned a rebellion to preserve slavery into a noble tragedy, violent restoration into resistance, and defeat into inherited grievance.

The Nakba narrative is its modern parallel. 🧵Image
2/ The “Lost Cause” emerged from the shock and dishonor of Confederate defeat in 1865.

The Nakba narrative emerged from the humiliating Arab military defeat in 1948/9.

Both transformed a failed war into a myth of stolen innocence and sacred grievance.Image
3/ Both rejected compromise and went to war when they lost a vote.

Lincoln promised not to ban slavery where it existed. Seven states left the Union as soon as he was elected.

Arabs were promised a state alongside a Jewish one. They started a war immediately after Parition.Image

Поділюсь новинами

Ви могли не знати і сприймати мене за того, ким я вже не є, тож про всяк випадок розповім: після тривалих роздумів я все-таки вирішив звільнитися за інвалідністю, тож з квітня місяця більше не маю щастя бути власністю Національної гвардії України ⬇️
Загалом ми зі славетним військовим формуванням з правоохоронними функціями подарували одне одному незабутні 4 роки, 11 місяців та 11 днів

Окрім очікуваної дезорієнтації я відчуваю і певний сором за те, що обрав спробу створити нормальне життя, однак наразі не планую повертатися
(але не зарікаюся)

Моя рука вже почуває себе значно краще, однак це все ще крихка та примхлива конструкція, яка дозволила б мені лише службу на тилових посадах. Я ніколи не хотів провести в армії решту життя, тож зрештою виставив пріоритети на користь звільнення

Trump y Vance parecen estar haciendo una maniobra de alto riesgo.

Quieren “desespecializar” (expresión de Trita Parsi) la relación con Israel:
1/16
El preacuerdo con Irán, en el que EEUU básicamente ha cedido en todo (porque no ha logrado ninguno de sus objetivos estratégicos y porque se avecinaba, probablemente, una crisis económica), ha dejado a Israel en muy mala posición.
2/16
El Gobierno de Netanyahu incitó a Trump (y a todos los presidentes anteriores, pero lo convenció a él) a atacar Irán para neutralizar así a su principal rival sistémico en la región.

#Religare #Specialsituation
Interesting things have unfolded in Religare Enterprises over past couple of years and catalysts keep on lining up here for value unlocking as well as value creation

Let`s discover the interesting sequence of events and how this offers a compelling opportunity.Image
2018- Singh brothers exit Religare amid the fund-diversion scandal that left RFL with massive defaults and RBI imposed corrective action plan. By 2020, all major lenders classified RFL as a "fraud" account.

2018 onwards- Burman family (Dabur promoters) quietly accumulate REL shares. By mid-2023 their four entities — MB Finmart, Puran Associates, VIC Enterprises, Milky Investment & Trading collectively held 21%
Catalyst 1 : The open offer trigger- Sep 2023

Burmans bought an additional 5.27% taking their stake past 25% — which automatically triggered a mandatory open offer for an additional 26%.

Open offer at: ₹235/share

The 18-month hostile resistance:
A corporate battle continued between Burmans and Rashmi Saluja (Religare Chairperson), both parties accusing each other of unlawful actions and wrongdoings to maintain control and gain profits out of Religare`s stable ship post 2018 fiascoImage

[1/x] Trigger warning: R*pe, sexual assault

I want to tell some of my story. I feel inauthentic as I am often hiding behind things that could destroy my reputation. I have carried a lot of shame. But I'd rather tell it than have other people tell it for me if anything happens.
[2/x] I was sexually abused. I was raped. Multiple times.I was groomed as a teen. I was physically bullied since I was 10. nearly killed when I was 13 when someone tried to asphyxiate me. I could list things but this isn't a competition. I have cPTSD. I also have ASD and ADHD
[3/x] Trauma has made me confused, its eroded my self worth, it has made me feel fear. Waking up 7 times at night from sleep paralysis.I have made bad decisions. I have trusted people I shouldn't have trusted. I have ignored red flags. It seems I am on a path of self destruction
