Aftermath of Raisi's Death.
The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the death of the Foreign Minister must have shaken the Iranian nation to its core. Despite the current Ayatollah telling people not to worry society would carry on. One wonders if the elderly Ayatollah was saying that more for himself than the people of Iran. The regime is stable but has faced demonstrations over women's rights and other factors. Iran cracked down hard on demonstrators but the anti-Islamic movement has not gone away. Opponents of the regime have been openly saying they are glad Raisi is gone.

Doctor Who: Fans Not Happy.
Doctor Who is either something you like or not. If you don't like it then you will never really understand the stories. If you like it in sci-fi terms its been the best thing since sliced bread (although some Trekkies might disagree). The Doctor with two hearts is a time-space travelling alien. His race is humanoid and their home world is the planet Gallifrey. The Time Lords the Doctor's people, are masters of space and time, hence their name. The Doctor though when it comes to his people has always been a bit of a maverick and loner. Much, to the displeasure of his people. His greatest enemy known as 'The Master' is also a renegade Time Lord who as opposed to the Doctor goes around the universe causing nothing but mayhem. Two of the Doctor's greatest enemies are the Cybermen and the Daleks.

President Zelensky had to cut short a trip to Portugal and Spain. Mr. Zelensky was believed to be signing a defence agreement with both countries. Mr. Zelensky, however, cancelled the trip when it became clear Russian forces were bearing down on the city of Kharkiv. Kharkiv is a major city in Ukraine just down the road from the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv Should Kharkiv fall to Russian forces that would put Ukraine in a dangerous position. Therefore, from Zelensky's point of view, while getting support from abroad is important, Zelensky must be mindful of the home front.

Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
People these days find the old Eurovision of previous decades boring and tame. No doubt, they have a point. Would people like Abba, Bucks Fizz, Sandy Shaw, etc even stand a chance on modern Eurovision? Probably not as it seems the majority acts representing different countries today it's more about what they do rather than the music. Or it's about politics, agenda, etc.

Darok's Continued Martian Musings.
Living here on Earth is still a strain on my health. For all the training I did on Mars (before I came to Earth) to get used to your environment the effect of your strong gravity and white light is not good for me. I have found my health physically, mentally, and spiritually challenged. I can tell I was not designed for your Earth. I was born on a planet where the sun shines less and the gravity is weaker compared to your gravity. Often, I feel the aches, pains, and strains of living in your world. Your white light hurts my eyes so sometimes I have to wear shades even watching your screens. The white light and bright flashing images affect my vision. So that's why I prefer orange light or darker lighting as it is on Mars.
