Tuesday I found a perennial that I’ve been wanting for a long time. They only had 2 in stock.

Black-and-white photograph taken inside the Montreal Stock Exchange after the 1969 bombing. Two adult men stand amid heavy debris inside a damaged interior space. The floor is covered with broken concrete, wood fragments, papers, and rubble. Exposed wires hang from the ceiling and walls. One man, wearing a suit and glasses, stands on the left looking down at the destruction. The other man, wearing a jacket and plaid shirt, carefully steps over debris on the right. A portable work light lies on the floor in the foreground, illuminating the wreckage.

On this day in 1969, the FLQ detonated a bomb at the Montreal Stock Exchange, injuring 27 people. The blast destroyed the trading floor and caused $1 million in damages. It was one of a series of bombings by the FLQ through the 1960s, which killed six people.

ICE goons trying to eat at local MN Mexican restaurant. GTFOH!

Putin hates this stat:

At the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine controlled 23 regional capital and special status cities.

Today, Ukraine still controls all 23.

Russia captured one, lost it, and now holds zero.

0/23 is a strategic humiliation
