2022. Charles Barkley gives a shout out to Australia... for not letting Djokovic play in the Australian Open. Throughout the pandemic Barkley attacked the unvaccinated and continually supported pandemic restrictions and mandates. Djokovic had received a medical exemption to play in the 2022 Australian Open based on him previously having Covid. He was not the only person to receive an exemption to enter Australia for this reason. On January 5, 2022 the Prime Minister admitted that Djokovic had received a valid exemption, but one day later he reversed course and said that Djokovic could not play and had to be deported after quarantine. The reason for Djokovic being denied entry was not science. In a statement put out by the Australian government, it acknowledged that Djokovic was not a risk to those around him. The reason for his denial of entry was political. The Australian government feared that Djokovic might spur anti-vaccine sentiment and inspire the Australian people to resist the draconian measures they were living under. 1/3show more

From the archives! 2023: Dan was asked about his... thoughts on Dutton being in Victoria. What Dan says is true. Dutton did start a racist campaign that wasn’t based on reported crime data. The so called crime that he was alleging happening in Melb disappeared after Dan won in 2018. Funny that! It’s pretty funny how Dan says it. Because it was true. Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party started a racist campaign leading up to the 2018 Victorian state election, that “African gangs” were taking over Melbourne. That wasn’t based on reported crime data. Look it up if you will. It was based on the Liberal Party trying to scare voters into voting for the Liberal Party, because they’re tougher on crime (apparently) so let’s use a racist slogan not based on fact to try and scare people. It was nothing but a dead set scare campaign. It didn’t work! But after the 2018 state election, all the commentary on this all disappeared. It actually did. Remember, the Liberal Party lies to win elections. They don’t do any of this is good faith. They do it for themselves, and only themselves.show more

🇺🇸Remembering Marine Lance Cpl. Timothy M. Bell Jr. 🇺🇸... He was only 22 when he was killed in Iraq on Aug. 3, 2005, after his amphibious assault vehicle was struck by an IED south of Hadithah. A black belt in judo, Timothy had hoped to buy a motorcycle when he came home that September. His father said, “My son was the last of the John Waynes, but tougher.” Timothy had wanted to be a Marine since he was 6. His room was filled with Marine posters and memorabilia, and his family said protecting others—especially his three younger sisters—was part of why he chose to serve. Before deploying for training, he told his stepmother just one thing: “This is what I was born to do.” May we never forget the service and sacrifice of Lance Cpl. Timothy M. Bell Jr. 🙏🇺🇸show more

The golden age of YouTube you forgot about. "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA"... is the unofficial title of a 2005 animated music video in which the fictional superhero character He-Man sings a rendition of 4 Non Blondes' 1992 hit rock single "What's Up." Since entering online circulation in May 2005, the video has been widely used as a popular material for bait-and-switch trolling, while spawning hundreds of remixes, parodies and music video tributes. The music video was created by two animators at Slackcircus Studios, who were inspired by Eric Fensler's G.I. Joe PSA series, by pairing footage of the titular protagonist from the 1980s American cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe with American alternative rock band 4 Non Blondes' 1992 hit single "What's Up." On May 8th, 2005, the original copy of the video file was uploaded to the Something Awful forums under the title "Fabulous Secret Powers" The same month the video was uploaded, the creators also launched a faux blog allegedly written in 1995 by the renamed He-Man character, Prince Adam. The video was shared on the eBaum's World forums on May 22nd, 2005 as "He-Man Sings a Gay Song," and on February 11th, 2006, the video was uploaded to YouTube for the first time as "He-Man does 4 non-blondes." Later in 2006, another artist was inspired to create their own He-Man Sings video using Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." On November 7th, 2010, a truncated two minute version with the intro, outro and dialogue removed was uploaded to YouTube as "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA", becoming the most popular version of the video. As of today, this upload has more than 209 million views. This version is often used as a bait and switch link, in a similar manner to the Rickroll.show more

Putin's close associate Dmitry Kozak had resigned from his... position as deputy Kremlin chief of staff of his own accord, Peskov said. ▪️ Earlier, the ISW linked Kozak's dismissal to disagreements with Putin. In particular, Kozak insisted on negotiations with Ukraine. They also noted that, according to one Russian political scientist, Kozak was the only participant in the February 21, 2022, Russia's Security Council meeting who opposed the launch of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. ▪️ On August 10, The New York Times, citing sources close to the Kremlin, reported that in the past few months, Kozak had advised Putin to immediately stop fighting in Ukraine and start peace negotiations. In 2022, Reuters learned that Kozak had convinced Putin that he had reached a preliminary deal with Ukraine to refrain from joining NATO, but the Russian leader rejected it and launched a full-scale invasion.show more

Everything is going according to the plan. 2018 →... 2022 → 2026 Bitcoin cycle bottom will look exactly like this. Most traders will think the bottom is already in. That’s how the trap works. Real accumulation is never clean. It forces breakout traders to buy too early and panic sellers to capitulate at the lows. This is the same structure repeating again. Remember, I was the only one publicly calling the exact bottom at $16,000 three years ago and the top at $126,000 in October. If you missed those calls, don’t worry. I’ll call the next one too.
