If you were born in the mid 70s or earlier, then you probably know what this is about. For those of you who don't or for those not from America, there was a hugely popular show on TV in the late 70s and early 80s called Laverne & Shirley. Well anyways, one of the main characters in the show, Laverne...her favorite drink was Milk & Pepsi. Not Milk. Not Pepsi. Milk AND Pepsi...mixed. Pretty nasty you would think huh?
Well I decided to put it to the challenge. Okay so I used Diet Pepsi instead of Pepsi. So I poured me half a glass of milk. Half a glass of Diet Pepsi. And before I could think too much, I raised my glass and downed it. In the 2nd to the last frame, I had just finished it and I thought to myself, "Hmmm...that was friggin weird, but it wasn't too bad." Then a second later (last frame) I began to gag and had to step over to the sink. I thought it was going to come rushing back up. :D
Now that i think about it...it was pretty nasty. Don't ever try it. I do not recommend it. It's been a good 30-40 minutes since I downed that glass and I still feel a bit queasy
Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of Grosvenor Square outside the American Embassy in London. They were rallying to demand that prime minister Theresa May repudiate Donald Trump's shameful blanket entry ban on all Syrian, Iraqi, Somali, Yemeni, Iranian, Sudanese and Libyan nationals for the next 90 days as well as the indefinite ban on all Syrian refugees.
Some also demanded that his planned state visit as a guest of the queen be revoked and that the British government also take decisive action to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers.
An estimated ten thousand gathered outside the US Embassy in London's Grovesnor Square for a march on Downing Street organized by the Stop the War Coalition, Stand Up to Racism and the Muslim Association of Britain
Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". Protesters pointed out that all the countries effected were Muslim majority nations and yet none of the countries targeted had any nationals implicated in any recent terrorist attack within the United States.
Ironically it is US foreign policy in the Middle East, including years of bombing and support for regional dictators that is one of the main causes of the current refugee crisis.

The Boston event began at 9AM in Roxbury at the Madison Park Technical & Vocational High School, from where students and supporters marched down Columbus Ave through Boston's South End to Park Square, ending on Boston Common for a massive rally. While police estimated that 50,000 people marched, that doesn't include the many thousands who lined the march route, held signs, and cheered on the marchers, or the many people who attended the rally on Boston Common but did not march. Organizers estimated that more than 100,000 people marched and rallied on Boston Common, which is easy to believe seeing photos of the event.
This photo was taken in London's Parliament Square on Monday 20 February 2017 during a protest against the proposed state visit of American president Donald Trump to Britiain.
Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of the square as British MPs debated president Trump's visit in the House of Commons. They were rallying to demand that the government repudiate his shameful racist, sexist and imperialist policies and revoke his state invitation as a guest of the Queen. Many also expressed the wish that the British government itself should do far more to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers .
1.8 million people have already signed an online petition asking the government to rescind the offer of a state visit. Labour MP Paul Flynn condemned it as “terribly wrong” and the speaker of the British parliament John Bercow had already stated his view that if he was allowed to address parliament we would be effectively endorsing his extremely divisive views on women and Muslims.
In contrast Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan was defiant arguing that Britain should "use all the tools at its disposal to build common ground" with America's extreme right wing president who, if invited on a state visit, would only be the third US president to be so honoured since 1952.
Former Foreign Secretary, William Hague, couldn't understand the fuss. The queen was, he argued in the Daily Telegraph, used to meeting some of the world's bloodiest tyrants, "such as presidents Mobutu of Zaire and Caeucescu of Romania" and seemed to imply there was no need to improve our ethical standards now.
By 6 pm approximately five thousand angry protesters had gathered and the police had to close part of the square to traffic.
Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". However for the most part people quietly listened to the speakers who included Owen Jones, Green MP Caroline Lucas, Labour MP Naz Shah, the SNP's Carol Monaghan and Shadow home secretary Diane Abbot who told the crowd that Trump
"was supported in his presidential campaign by white supremacists. Even in the first weeks of his presidency, he had had a visceral anti-immigrant line.We hear that he has been invited for state visit. Whatever you think, a state visit is meant to be an honour. I would say that Donald Trump has done nothing to be honoured for."
Owen Jones called for continued solidarity with immigrants and refugees and was optimistic tolerance would win out over bigotry
"The racists and the fascists have been defeated before," he told the crowd, "and we will defeat them again.

This architecture, with its networks of tubes and the lookit has of being an expo or world's fair building, with its (calculated?) fragility deterringany traditional mentality or monumentality, overtly proclaims that our time will neveragain be that of duration, that our only temporality is that of the accelerated cycle and ofrecycling, that of the circuit and of the transit of fluids. Our only culture in the end is thatof hydrocarbons, that of refining, cracking, breaking cultural molecules and of theirrecombination into synthesized products. And this is what underlies the beauty ofthe cadaver and the failure of the interior spaces. In any case, the very ideology of "cultural production" is antithetical to all culture, as is that of visibility and of the polyvalent space: culture is a site of the secret, of seduction, of initiation, of a restrainedand highly ritualized symbolic exchange.

Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On January 27th 1945, the red army liberated Auschwitz death camp.
1 million and 100,000 Jews were brutally murdered there, just for being who they were.
We will never forget and never forgive.
Their memory will live on forever.

Close The Camps!
San Francisco
July 2, 2019
What started as a passionate rally across from Senator Dianne Feinstein's office, grew quickly (and I sense unexpectedly) into a spontaneous blockade of Market Street at lunchtime with over 1000 people, disgusted by US cruelty at the border, calling to immediately CLOSE THE CAMPS!! Two hours later, after a march down the center of Market Street and another street blockade, the rally ended outside the office of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. #closethecamps

I found some more frame captures from video. I've been editing the video to the March For Our Lives, of March 24, and I've been finding more shots that make good frame captures for stills to post here. I have more to post; this is just one of them for tonight.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera, with the Canon `18-55mm zoom lens.
The building in the background with the flag on top is the L.A. Times Building. L.A. City Hall is to my left.
And now you can see the video of this event by clicking on the link below:
The gutted Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, which is currently called the Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome, after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
Let's hope the world is to never lay witness to such horror and devastation again!
I'd forgotten that I'd taken this one the day before yesterday, but now I've uploaded it, it will be the last one I take!!
