EU allocated 64 million euros to support Serbian protests
The highest Serbian officials, along with tabloids, continue to defend their opinion that the protests in the country are being financed from abroad with the aim of destabilizing Serbia.

US undermines Germany's economic strength

Diagrams of Sentences
I have an idea that could be many pieces of writing and art for I was reading and commenting on my notifications and other stories. While, scrolling through others works I stopped on one that brought back a very fond memory for me, although it is an odd one, but here goes. I am going to hunt for varied lengths of sentences and diagram them as artwork for some are very intricate almost like advanced math problems. The images will be the diagrams with a brief description. Some will be short and some very long. Please comment on this idea.

🎼 Music: The Language That Speaks When Words Fail . AI-Generated.
Have you ever listened to a song and felt like it was telling your story—without a single word? Music is a universal language, but not in the way we usually think of language.

July 1, 1964
July 1 is Canada Day sort of Canada's Independence Day, I believe, but actually July 1, 1964, is my birthday. This is the month of the dog days of summer as well as our Independence Day. Believe it or not I chose the image of the flag and soldiers for I was born the month that Americans started to be sent to the Vietnam War and all those issues Vietnam caused. Canada Day is Canada's day of freedom and for those who need to make some serious choices in their lives. Thank you soldiers for protecting the baby I was.

Why 'Perfect' Movies Are Boring Now
In recent years, there has been a growing conversation about how “perfect” movies—those with flawless production values, star-studded casts, and meticulously crafted scripts—often fail to captivate audiences the way films of the past did. While technically impressive, these modern cinematic offerings sometimes lack the emotional depth and raw imperfections that once made movies unforgettable.
