There are large differences creatively between the two artists. Waters, who really lead the band until 1985 had a more controlling style, and Gilmour a more relaxed style both personally and professionally. So they disagreed a lot there already. Waters left the band in 1985 and wanted Pink Floyd to be over, and Gilmour and the drummer Nick Mason wanted to continue. Waters sued them to end it and lost. This created much animosity. Also Waters criticized the new work.

Illegal settler assaults praying Palestinian on the side of the road with his four-wheeler in front of witnesses with impunity. Sinning boldly.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “It is time to choose sides; fascism or morality? Big tech has made their choice.”

Pretty sure this is exactly what it would be like if I tried to get my Mom to play a modern video game. I mean EXACTLY.

"Iran has informed Israel through a third party that if it starts a full-scale war with Lebanese "Hezbollah", Iran will directly intervene in the conflict.

The Iran from before the 12-Day War is no more. The risk-averse mindset that has prevailed for over 45 years is gone.

Iran has tried negotiations, time and time again, and every time it has been betrayed. There is now a fundamental lack of trust.

Iran sees conflict as inevitable. It learned many lessons from the 12-Day War. And it wants to prevent a repeat of these events by any means possible.

One of the main things the Iranian leadership always feared is internal chaos or uprisings during time of war. But the unity of the Iranian people in the last war gave the leadership confidence that such a thing will not happen.

I think Israel accidentally created a much greater threat to itself than before"

Muslim lady at Aldi's who didn't speak English only wanted shiny pennies. All she could say was "No good. Again."

The cashier, who isn't paid to talk to people, had no idea what the problem was and kept saying "You don't want any pennies?"

But the Muslim lady wanted her four pennies, because that would make or break the budget (seemed to be shopping for an eatery of some kind).

I finally stepped in to translate.

I guess that's the sort of novelty you won't get without immigration.

Nope. But I know that foreigners are often wary of grungy money. Something about back home that means fraud or something.

I remember reading an article in WSJ about a cruise ship that paid in cash having to rotate the order of payments so everyone got a turn at the best bills, and one guy buying the "icky" bills at a discount, because people would sell them at a discount. He then spent them the same as the new bills.
