Early evening scene (around sunset) on an avenue of a large city, facing a row of old, but well-maintained, mixed-use buildings with a long, two-tone blue bus stopped in front; the bus is a 4th generation, 2017 Nova Bus LFS-A TL62102A articulated diesel bus, and is one of the longest in the current fleet - equalled in length only by earlier generations of the same model; the bus is at its last stop on the M31 route which starts in Hell's Kitchen on the west side, traverses the island to the east side via 57th street, and then heads uptown; the buildings behind the bus include a dry cleaner, a Peruvian-themed chicken joint, a terrible pizza place, and a hot wings restaurant that was really good but, sadly, closed down not long ago; above the businesses are apartments; the buildings have started to turn on their lights.

Image of an X post screenshot. The post from @CBotTh ... (C-Bo the Eggman) reads, "Banning words should do the trick," posted 20 hours ago. Below it, a Politico post from @politico (1 day ago) states, "Energy Dept. adds 'climate change' and 'emissions' to banned words list," with the Politico logo.

The Yardbirds live on French TV show 'Bouton Rouge' on the 9th March 1968. This was towards the end of the Yardbirds with the band splitting in June some 3 months later. Keith Relf & Jim McCarty announced their leaving in June with McCarty saying later "Toward the end of the Yardbirds we wanted to do something a bit more poetic, if you like, not so heavy. A bit more folky... We had had enough of heavy rock." Chris Dreja decided to pursue photography. Jimmy wanted to keep rocking and after an approach to Terry Reid who turned down the opportunity but suggested a singer from the Band of Joy from Birmingham along with his drummer the rest is history. I don't make anything colourising and putting these videos together so please support the channel with the link here if you can its greatly appreciated! https://tr.ee/cplUOY9n5L It's interesting to see the Yardbirds version of the Jake Holmes song Dazed & Confused which already seems to have the full (later) Led Zep arrangement in place at this stage. If any videos get blocked I tend to post them on my other social media platforms, so have a look if you don't want to miss anything!

Sorry to hear Yardbirds bassist and rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja has died at 79. Jimmy Page offered him the role of bassist in what was to become Led Zeppelin, but he declined in order to pursue photography. Yardbirds live in 1968. #RIPChrisDreja m.youtube.com/watch?v=kVd5...

Daytime scene on a street corner in a large city on a rainy day, facing across the street toward a unique-looking two-story building; all over the sidewalk of the building are photos of architectural landmarks and labor union symbology, including an emblem that reads "Local 46 100 - Metallic Lathers International Union"; the building shares its space with a very good Chinese restaurant, as evidenced by its awning on the front which reads "Tang's Garden"; there are some cars parked in the street in front of the building and there is a pedestrian signal at the corner; there are much larger high-rise buildings in the distance and the sky is heavy and gray.

Delete TikTok. It is more going to be part of the US surveillance state, which I guarantee will include countries beyond its borders.
