A driver who killed a family of four, including two babies, at a San Francisco bus stop was sentenced to probation. Mary Fong Lau (seen here walking through the courthouse today) dodged jail and prison time. Lau, 80, was speeding when her Mercedes SUV plowed into a West Portal bus stop in 2024, investigators said. A family was waiting to catch the bus for a trip to the zoo. The crash killed Diego Cardoso de Oliveira, his wife, Matilde Pinto, and their two babies. Lau stood up in the courtroom and said, “I want to say to all the family, sorry. Sorry.” Full Story: kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

@archeohistories If you look closely at the chariot race you will see a car in the background. A red mini.

In 1959, as production ramped up for *Ben-Hur*, Charlton Heston was undergoing some of the most intense physical training of his career. Tasked with portraying Judah Ben-Hur in one of the most ambitious films of the decade, Heston immersed himself fully into the role—most notably through rigorous preparation for the film’s legendary chariot race. Set against the grandeur of Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, the scene required him to learn how to control a four-horse chariot, an extremely dangerous endeavor with little room for error. Despite the risks, Heston insisted on performing many of the stunts himself, spending weeks under the tutelage of expert horse trainers to perfect his technique and build the confidence needed to command both animals and camera. This particular image shows a man driving a four-horse chariot, known as a quadriga. The backdrop of the image suggests an urban or semi-urban setting, possibly during the filming or a promotional event, rather than the ancient Roman setting of the film itself. The film Ben-Hur (1959) is famous for its epic chariot race sequence, considered one of the most thrilling in cinematic history. The film tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince falsely accused of treason, and his quest for revenge against his Roman adopted brother, Messala, culminating in the dramatic chariot race.  The chariot race became a cinematic landmark, hailed for its pulse-pounding realism and sheer spectacle. Filmed without modern CGI or green screens, its authenticity relied heavily on Heston’s performance and physical precision. The coordination of dozens of extras, trained horses, and massive set pieces demanded flawless execution. Heston’s determination and grit were instrumental in pulling it off—his expressions of tension and resolve during the race were not entirely scripted, but genuine reactions forged through relentless rehearsal and deep immersion in his role. Audiences could sense that what they were watching was not just acting, but lived experience captured on film. More than just a technical feat, Heston’s preparation for the chariot race symbolized the scale and passion behind *Ben-Hur*. The film went on to win 11 Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Heston, whose performance helped elevate the film from epic drama to enduring legend. His work behind the scenes—the sweat, the practice, the injuries—became as iconic as what appeared on screen. It remains a shining example of classic Hollywood craftsmanship, where dedication to realism created moments that still captivate generations of moviegoers. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

Intelligence assessments are saying that newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was severely wounded in a recent airstrike, leaving him "unable to function properly." Iran now has its own version of Joe Biden.

Bezos is leaning into the evil rich guy stereotype. But if you’ve created a bubble of yes people then maybe you have no clue how awful this looks to normal people.
Sam Stein@samstein

The fact that Bezos isn't communicating this himself (apparently) is such an indictment of the guy. I know he's busy with the Melania doc and meeting with Trump officials for new contracts. but at least have the courage to dismantle your newspaper yourself.

Elon Musk has always told the truth about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. In a 2019 interview, Elon said, “He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.” More recently, responding to misleading headlines on 𝕏, he posted, “Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” The DOJ release of the Epstein files contains zero evidence that Elon ever visited the island. Over 150,000 photos were released, and none include him. There are no flight logs, no visual proof, and no witnesses placing him there. In fact, a December 2012 email from the files further supports that Elon made it clear to Epstein that he did not want to visit the island, effectively turning down the invitation. The facts are clear. Epstein invited many powerful people. Elon Musk was one of them. He refused the invitation. He never visited the island. Legacy media continues to bend the truth to smear him. They keep repeating false narratives to push an agenda. Shame on them.

Friends, bad news. Fred has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It has spread to the liver and lungs. He isn't at hospital at all. Doesn't want to go. Least that's what they told me... I would love to be here and have fun with you, but I just can't at the moment. Hope you understand.
vbspurs@vbspurs

Oh God. Just asked a coworker about my colleague, Fred. He said the biopsy has been performed but it doesn't look good. He didn't have more info. He's only 60. This can't be happening.

There are very few opportunities where you can have a bet as good as the Broncos are today. A true opportunity that doesn’t come around often in the NFL.
