Happy 83rd Anniversary, Dumbo

Today is the 83rd Anniversary of Disney's Dumbo. It had been 83 years since we've seen Dumbo the Flying Elephant become the star of the show in the circus.

He was a baby elephant who lives with the circus. His ears were so big everyone teased him, but one day, he used them to fly, which is what made him so special.

Today is the 83rd anniversary of the Babyn Yar Massacre.

Over two days from September 29-30, 1941, the Nazis shot over 30,000 Jews in Kyiv. Entire families were forced to walk down to the ravine on the "Road of Death". Around 100,000 people were killed at Babyn Yar during the Nazi occupation.

Babyn Yar is a terrifying symbol, showing that the most heinous crimes occur when the world chooses to ignore, remain silent, stay indifferent, and lacks the determination to stand up against evil. When the eyes of the world are closed, humanity loses. Babyn Yar is vivid proof of the atrocities that regimes are capable of when led by leaders who rely on intimidation and violence. —Volodymyr Zelenskyy

The site of Babyn Yar and its memorials (like the large menorah above) have increased in significance since Russia's full scale invasion. It was attacked in March 2022. The most iconic memorials escaped damage, but the main grounds suffered burnt and uprooted trees and damage to a building that was designated to be used for a museum (it had not been in use yet at that time).

After the attack in 2022, the chair of Babyn Yar's advisory board, Natan Sharansky said, "It is symbolic that [Russian President Vladimir Putin] starts attacking Kyiv by bombing the site of the Babyn Yar, the biggest Nazi massacre."

As Russia has frequently done, Sharansky said Putin had sought to "distort and manipulate the Holocaust to justify an illegal invasion of a sovereign democratic country." Russian propaganda has frequently called Ukraine a country of "neo-nazis" and that Russia's goal is to "denazify" Ukraine.

This isn't the first time Russia has tried to manipulate and erase history, especially when it comes to Babyn Yar.

"They physically tried to destroy these graves and delete the history, it's unbelievable how important it was for Soviets to change the nature of the place," Sharansky said. "There were so many attempts to erase Babyn Yar and change its nature, finally we turned it into a big memorial, and that is once again overshadowed by Russian aggression."

For decades under Soviet rule, the victims of Babyn Yar were only referred to as "Soviet" victims with no mention of Jews being the main victims. Finally, the large menorah memorial was erected in the 1990s under an independent Ukraine.

These photos show the Mirror Field installation to honor the victims of Babyn Yar. The memorial has visual and audio components to it that visitors can experience.

The main symbol is the Tree of Life, which is found in many religions and mythologies around the world. "The Babyn Yar tragedy shows how easily this tree can be destroyed, and its branches — broken."

This memorial is entirely made of stainless steel, with the main podium being a mirror disk of 40 meters in diameter accompanied by 10 reflective pillars that are 6 meters tall. "The columns and the disk were shot through by bullets of the same caliber that the Nazis used during execution in Babyn Yar."

Below you can find a 360 degree video of it here for an example of the audio-visual experience. To read more on this memorial and about the audio experience, you can read about it here.

Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the start of the Winter War, an invasion launched by Russia against Finland after a false-flag attack. It explains a lot why Finns are so invested in what happens in Ukraine, and the outcome.

The National Winter War Memorial, also known as Valon tuoja (The Light Bringer) on Kasarmitori, Helsinki. The steel statue of a soldier was designed by Pekka Kauhanen. The soldier stands with a uniform full of holes, symbolising both strength and powerlessness in the face of the events of the war and its cultural effects. There are 105 photographs inside the ball the soldier stands on, symbolising the 105 days of the Winter War.

John Hagee American Pastor

Pastor Hagee just celebrated his 83rd birthday and his 47th wedding anniversary. Damn… I think John is maturing into the perfect chubby, white haired grandpa.

John, if you're feeling like cheating on this wife with someone new. Why not try cock. To be more precise, my cock. 

Because you've got an ass that’s built for bottoming. 

Just saying.
