cool little article of john astor iv that went down with TITANIC
John Jacob Astor IV was one of the richest men in the world when he died on the Titanic. Here's a look at the life of the multi-millionaire.
In 1893, William Waldorf Astor built the Waldorf Hotel on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street. Reportedly, he built the hotel to spite his cousin, John Jacob Astor IV. In retaliation, Astor built a competing hotel in 1897 on the adjacent corner and named it the Astoria Hotel. When the cousins were finally convinced that joining both the hotels would be a smart business decision, a 300-foot marble corridor was built between them. The famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was born.
For the next few decades, the hotel became a symbol of luxury, wealth, and class in New York. It was considered one of the best hotels in the country and even in the world.
The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel closed in 1928 and was demolished, making room for the Empire State Building. The new Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was built farther uptown in 1931, long after Astor's death.

this AIN'T what putin wanted
countries channel UKR fight and pride
Guns, bomb shelters, and anti-radiation meds: More people in Finland prepare for war with Russia
Since war broke out in Europe, thousands of Finns have signed up with training associations to sharpen their military skills or learn new ones such as first aid. The rise has been fueled by anxiety over Finland’s geographic proximity to Russia. For the first time in their country's history, a majority of Finns are in favor of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a defensive alliance.

california has some dumb motherfuckers in power
unfortunately, the population of LA needs to get pounded a bit by letting these people in
whether it's the NEW district atty they WERE WARNED about...the board of supervisors and their little virtue signally travel ban to TEX and FL for the GAY LAW shit
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted this week to suspend all travel for county business to Florida and Texas, citing policies and legislation in the Republican-led states that officials said were driven by "transphobia and homophobia." --- known by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill
the person in charge of emptying the prisons in CALIF state...who is that person? i think they said collateral damage was going to happen AND IT DID up north. IF that was a family member...like a wife or offspring? i would go fucking hunting

HOTSTOCK for shit never available
been looking for xbox x for past few months...5min. a day and nada
always like to get that kinda stuff at costco, but they weren't even listing it
walmart or target had a few lately, but higher price and sold thru other places like megagoods? have no idea about that kinda crap
looked them up on reddit...they said to go to hotstock (5seconds to register)
pointed me at costco for the NORMAL retail price...use their credit card and should get double warranty
so hotstock worked great

biden speaks today after nato meeting
what DID he say?
"putin was banking on nato being split"
"my early conversation with him in december and early january...it was clear to me, he didn't think we could sustain this cohesion"
maybe that's where we got this minor incursion talk that zelensky lost his mind about

Madeleine Albright RIP
foxnews has done some very nice stories on her today...lots of interactions being shared
notwithstanding any of the politics btw
“The idea that a daughter of Czechoslovakia born shortly before the outbreak of global war would one day become America’s first woman Secretary of State once could not have been imagined.”
shit, hope that lil black chick from somalia doesn't get any ideas here
In summing up her career, Obama also shared this story: “Once, at a naturalization ceremony, an Ethiopian man came up to her and said, ‘Only in America can a refugee meet the Secretary of State.’ And she replied, ‘Only in America can a refugee become the Secretary of State.’”
During Donald Trump’s presidency, she kept a wary eye on what she perceived as his mishandling of just about everything.
AND that's why we are fucking here  dumb fuckers
wonder what she thought of biden's list of 16things not to hit in the US? OR maybe being OK with a small type of incursion in UKR
ANYWAY, rip
cool life story
