Tehran: Israel Targets Iranian Civilians With US-supplied Weapons; Negotiations ‘Meaningless’ Monday, 16 June 2025 1:00 PM Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei shows the image of Ehsan Eshraghi and his daughter, two Iranian civilians martyred by the Israeli regime’s acts of aggression in Tehran, at a weekly press conference in Tehran, on June 16, 2025. The Israeli regime attacked Iran using US-supplied weapons, says Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, reiterating that Tehran holds Washington responsible for the aggression. “On Friday, when my compatriots were sleeping and our people were preparing for the great Eid, the Zionist regime attacked our land using all kinds of weapons donated by the US,” Baghaei said at his weekly press conference on Monday. “A number of our prominent figures and a large number of our compatriots were martyred in this cruel aggression,” he added. In a massive airstrike early on Friday, the Israeli regime assassinated several Iran...

Info on this dude here .  Note he had a follow up album in 1980, described as new wave. It was recommended by a commenter and I finally got a chance to listen, definitely I would recommend hearing it.  Most of it is straightforward late 1970s singer songwriter stuff very emotional, piano based, along the lines of David Bowie circa. Young Americans, but without the guitar and funk, or Lou Reed as on the Berlin album , some of it quite ordinary. A lovely instrumental called La Bambola Rota : Some lovely Gentle Giant style dissonance in the Tastiere Isteriche : source https://progressreview.blogspot.com/2025/06/leo-neros-vero-from-1977-flac-limited.html

Here's another from a long series of episodes of the TV show "PBS Soundstage." This time, it's an extra long episode, featuring Peter Frampton. I believe this actually was two hour-long episodes that made up a single concert. Peter Frampton will always be associated with one album, and a double live album at that: "Frampton Comes Alive." Released in 1976, it was the best selling album of the year, and went on to have sales of more than eight million albums in the U.S. alone. But weirdly, he didn't have much commercial success before or after that. His second best selling album was "I'm in You," released in 1977, which sold a million in the U.S. I think Frampton got kind of a raw deal out of this, with most people reducing his career to that one album. He actually put out a lot of good music in a career that's lasted over 50 years and is still going as I write this in 2025. This concert recording includes the big songs from "Framp...

Partners in Crime: Trump’s 60-day ‘Ultimatum’ Ends with Israeli Aggression on Iran Saturday, 14 June 2025 6:19 PM By Musa Iqbal The latest Israeli aggression on Iran followed US President Donald Trump’s 60-day "ultimatum," exposing bad-faith nuclear talks and deep complicity in the Zionist regime's terrorism and targeted assassinations inside Iran. Exactly 62 days ago, US President Donald Trump issued a direct threat against Iran: to either capitulate and surrender its civilian nuclear program within two months, or face an imminent attack. The two months passed, and Iranians woke up on Friday to the sound of Israeli warplanes bombing different parts of the country in a terrorist onslaught approved and encouraged by Washington.   At the very onset of the Israeli aggression, which targeted residential areas, nuclear facilities, and military facilities, and led to the assassination of top-ranking military generals and nuclear scientists, Secretary of State Marco Rubio...

The Timeless Legacy of the Chevy El Camino The Unlikely Legend – A Car That Became a Culture There are muscle cars. There are trucks. And then there’s the Chevy El Camino — the unforgettable, genre-defying machine that turned heads and rewrote the rulebook. Part car, part pickup, part outlaw, the El Camino wasn’t just transportation — it was an attitude on wheels. In a world where vehicles fit neatly into categories, the El Camino crashed the party with something no one saw coming: a car that hauled lumber during the day and cruised the boulevard at night. 🛠 A Bold Beginning: The 1959 Debut The El Camino first hit American streets in 1959, Chevy’s response to the Ford Ranchero, a coupe utility vehicle that had already tested the market. But Chevrolet wasn’t content to just copy and paste — they designed the El Camino with a lower stance, sleeker lines, and a touch of muscle-car sex appeal. It was a pickup, yes — but it had soul. And chrome. Lots of chrome. Though the initi...

🔍 Faith vs. Facts: Why Many People Choose Religion Outside of Objective Reality—and Why That Can Be a Fundamental Error In a world filled with scientific discovery, global communication, and access to virtually unlimited information, one would think humanity would be guided more than ever by objective reality. But still, billions of people cling—sometimes desperately—to religions that contradict evidence, defy logic, or ignore the observable world. Why? The reasons are complex, deeply human, and often emotional. But when these reasons replace reason itself, it can lead to what we call a fundamental error—the misalignment of belief systems with reality in a way that limits personal growth, distorts truth, and creates social harm. Let’s be honest. Religion offers what reality often doesn’t: People turn to religion for comfort in a world that feels chaotic, cruel, or unpredictable. The idea of a divine plan, eternal life, or cosmic justice can make suffering seem meaningful—e...
