On this day in 1979, The Clash released the single “London Calling” (December 7)
The urgency and foreboding strikes in those very first thrashed staccato chords and Strummer’s chilling howl as this classic kicks in.
Strummer said: "We felt that we were struggling about to slip down a slope or something, grasping with our fingernails. And there was no one there to help us."
The Clash’s bleak warning became an anthem, and one of the signpost songs of an era; to be at a live Clash show and be part of the energy when those first chords rang out was an amazing experience.
“London Calling” went to #11 in the UK, #16 in Ireland, and it was the first Clash song to chart elsewhere in the world, peaking at #23 in New Zealand, and #28 in Australia.
Rolling Stone rated the song as #15 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, the highest position of the band and of any punk rock song.
In 1989, the magazine also rated the album of the same name as the best album of the 1980s—although it was released in late 1979 in Britain, it came out in January 1980 in the USA.
And of course, the cover photo from the LP is one of the greatest rock photos of all time.
It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

The story behind Guerrillero Heroico is as dramatic as the image itself. Alberto Korda took the photo of Che Guevara in 1960 at a Cuban funeral, but it was initially unpublished.
Only after Guevara's death seven years later did the image become a powerful symbol of martyrdom and global rebellion.
It has since transcended its subject, becoming the cultural shorthand for revolution and one of the most recognizable and reproduced photographs in history.

On December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appears out of the clouds above the island of Oahu.
A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes followed, descending on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault.
The surprise attack struck a critical blow against the U.S. Pacific fleet and drew the United States irrevocably into World War II.

A Moon Bridge in Sichuan, China
The moon bridge, also known as "sori-bashi" in Japanese, is a highly arched pedestrian bridge. The moon bridge originated in China and was later introduced to Japan, where it became synonymous with landscape architecture. However, the general shape of this bridge is found in all East Asian cultures.
Generally, these bridges are not functional, but serve as ornamentation. However, they were originally designed to allow pedestrians to cross canals while allowing barges to pass beneath.
To achieve this height in normal bridge construction, a significant amount of bank space must be used for the bridge approaches. The ascent and descent of the moon bridge has the advantage of conserving this space. These approaches can be very steep on moon bridges, sometimes requiring the attachment of rungs to the bridge.
In formal gardens, a moon bridge is placed so that it is reflected in still water. The high arch and its reflection form a circle, symbolising the moon.
By forming a complete reflected circle, the bridge also symbolises purity: the Chinese words for "complete" and "circle" together translate into "perfection".
This 400-500 year old bridge in Sichuan, pictured first photo above, survived the deadly 2008 earthquake, while many bridges a few decades old collapsed.

🥊🇹🇭The popular Thai sport Muay Thai is not only a fun way to work out, it is also steeped in tradition.
Every fight begins with ritual ceremonies called Wai Kru and Ram Muay, both of which are performed by fighters at the start of their Muay Thai battle.
Comprised of two parts, Wai Kru is performed by circling the ring three times, putting one's hands together, and bowing to show respect for the trainers, gym, and family.
Next, fighters perform the Ram Muay or “boxing dance”, which helps tell spectators the fighter's home gym, as each Ram Muay varies by gym location.

Bobolice Castle 🏰
Bobolice Castle, located in the picturesque Kraków-Częstochowa Upland of southern Poland, is one of the most iconic fortresses of the Jura Chain.
Originally built in the 14th century during the reign of King Casimir III the Great, it formed part of the “Eagle’s Nests” defensive system meant to protect the kingdom’s borders.
Perched on a limestone hill, the castle commands dramatic views of the surrounding cliffs and forests.
Over the centuries, Bobolice experienced periods of both prosperity and ruin—damaged during invasions, abandoned for generations, and eventually restored in the early 21st century.
Its reconstruction revived the medieval appearance of the walls, towers, and gatehouse, allowing visitors to imagine the castle as it once stood in its full strength.

"We know not of the future, and cannot plan for it much. But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever the hour strikes that calls us to noble action....No man becomes suddenly different from his habit and cherished thought."
Joshua L. Chamberlain
That sentiment, often attributed to Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, reflects a core wisdom: while we can't predict the future, we can shape our character and mindset now to be ready for whatever comes, emphasizing preparedness through inner strength, virtue, and trust in our developed selves or a higher power rather than rigid future plans.
It suggests focusing on present actions and principles, as our habits and ideals determine our readiness for life's inevitable tests, much like Chamberlain's own preparedness at Gettysburg.
Key Interpretations:
Character over Contingency: Chamberlain believed character formed in peaceful times dictates actions in crisis; our inner selves are what matter when the future demands action, not detailed foresight.
Trust in the Present: The idea encourages living purposefully now, building virtues, and cultivating faith, so you're equipped for tomorrow's challenges, as "the future is promised to no one".
Embrace Uncertainty: It's a call to let go of excessive worry about the unknown and instead focus on cultivating resilience and wisdom, trusting that your present self will rise to the occasion.
Divine Providence: Some interpretations link this to faith, suggesting trusting God's plan for an unknown future, viewing God as the ultimate planner beyond human comprehension.
In essence:
Don't get paralyzed by future unknowns; instead, build a strong foundation in the present through good habits, noble ideals, and faith, so you can meet any future with courage and competence.

The Enduring Influence of Bruce Lee.
Few figures in modern history have left an imprint as profound and far-reaching as Bruce Lee. More than a martial artist, more than a movie star, he was a philosopher, a visionary, and a catalyst for change in the lives of countless people across the globe. His legacy is not measured simply in films or fight sequences, but in the ways he inspired others to transform themselves—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Consider Jackie Chan, who, as a young stuntman on the set of Enter the Dragon, watched Bruce Lee move with a speed and precision that seemed almost supernatural. That brief encounter, observing Bruce’s discipline and philosophy, became a turning point. Jackie would carry the lessons learned from Bruce into his own career, blending martial arts with humor and storytelling to redefine what an action star could be. Bruce’s influence ignited a spark that transformed Jackie from a skilled performer into a global icon.
Then there’s Donnie Yen, whose early career was shaped by Bruce’s philosophy of efficiency, adaptability, and relentless self-improvement. Yen’s portrayal of Ip Man is not just a tribute to a Wing Chun master but a reflection of Bruce’s ideals: focus, authenticity, and the courage to push beyond perceived limits. In every kick and strike, the echoes of Bruce’s approach to martial arts can be felt.
Even outside cinema, Bruce Lee’s impact is equally profound. Martial artists from all disciplines, from mixed martial arts champions to local dojo instructors, credit him with revolutionizing training methods and philosophies. His principle of “absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, add what is uniquely your own” challenged traditionalists and opened the door for cross-disciplinary innovation. Fighters learned to think, adapt, and create, rather than blindly follow rigid systems.
Bruce’s reach extended into popular culture and personal development. Countless fans cite his words on self-expression, perseverance, and self-mastery as life-changing. Teens inspired to train in martial arts, entrepreneurs motivated to pursue their visions, and ordinary individuals seeking confidence and discipline all found a mentor in Bruce Lee—even without ever meeting him.
Perhaps most importantly, Bruce Lee showed the world that limitations are often imagined, that boundaries exist to be tested, and that greatness emerges when courage meets relentless dedication. His life may have been tragically short, but the ripple effect of his philosophy continues to shape generations.
From actors to athletes, from martial artists to everyday dreamers, Bruce Lee’s influence is undeniable. He did not merely teach people how to fight; he taught them how to live, how to push past fear, and how to transform themselves. And in that way, Bruce Lee remains immortal—not just in film or legend, but in the countless lives forever changed by his vision, his discipline, and his spirit.

If you like to gamble
I tell you, I'm your man
You win some, lose some
It's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play
Makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed
The only card I need
Is the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Playing for the high one
Dancing with the devil
Going with the flow
It's all a game to me
Seven or eleven
Snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit
Double stake or split
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
You know I'm born to lose
And gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby
I don't want to live forever
And don't forget the joker
Pushing up the ante
I know you got to see me
Read 'em and weep
The dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes
Take one look and die
The only thing you see
You know it's gonna be
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades, uh

These are the enigmatic rock paintings of Tassili n'Ajjer, found in the Sahara desert of Algeria. Dating back to the Neolithic era, approximately 7,000 to 9,000 years ago, they offer a glimpse into a world long past.
The paintings depict human figures in curious forms, some adorned with what appear to be ritualistic garments or masks. The ochre hues, rendered from natural pigments, have been weathered by millennia of sun and wind, yet the scenes retain a haunting clarity, preserving the artistic expression and perhaps spiritual beliefs of the people who created them.
These ancient images whisper tales of life lived in harmony with a now-vanished landscape, a poignant reminder of human ingenuity, resilience, and the enduring quest to leave a mark on the canvas of time. A dance between the ephemeral and the eternal, etched in stone.
