Producer / Director William Friedkin, upon receiving the commissioned audio material from Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream, edited the film according to the music. Something that is almost never done.

Jim Henson, a great man who's work helped children in so many ways. Would have been 89 today.

United States military casualties of war - Wikipedia

47 is wrong as usual, of course. But those US numbers are deaths, not casualties. Soviet Union 8,800,000-10,700,000 Military Deaths. United States 416,800 Military Deaths.
Total US casualties 1,076,245. Soviet Union 26,600,000 cas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_....

April 28, 1945, β€œIl Duce,” Benito Mussolini, and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were shot by Italian partisans. The figurehead of a puppet goverment tried to cross the Swiss border disguised. In a convoy near Lake Como, guards recognized them, they were shot, taken to Milan, hung, displayed publicly.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Happy Cosmic birthday to Johnny Griffin (4/24/28– 7/25/08), my favorite jazz saxophonist. A pioneering figure in hard bop, Griffin recorded prolifically as a bandleader in addition to stints with pianist Thelonious Monk, drummer Art Blakey, saxophonist, John Coltrane. This from '59 The Little Giant

"More rock and roll", is one of most the quintessential Jazz Fusion albums I have ever experienced. Virtuoso musicians, creatively scored works, and a mixed contrast of complex melodies and softer simpler passages.

This is a big upsetting mistake. This has nothing to do with bluesky’s bday.It’s incredibly insensitive. I see you’re saying it’s for people of all ages but it’s demeaning telling someone to go to bed. Take this down and put up something that has meaning 4what we are all fighting for. What the fuck?

Navajo Nation President responds after concern tribal members could be detained by ICE Some Indigenous people fear racial profiling and a lack of adequate IDs could lead to confusion during possible raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On social media, several Navajo Nation tribal members say they have had their nationality questioned. The accounts are not verified but Navajos who live off the reservation say they are concerned about being swept up in raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
