Lithuania Blocks Russian Train with Prohibited Invasion Symbols
On October 2, Lithuanian border guards at the Kyana railway station stopped a Moscow-Kaliningrad transit passenger train displaying symbols related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including the letter Z, the innoscription "ZOV," and a message in Russian stating, "Vilnius is the city of Russia."
The train staff was unable to explain the origin of these markings, which are banned in Lithuania. Border guards required the train staff to remove the symbols before allowing the train to continue its journey.
Since spring 2022, Lithuania has prohibited the use of symbols like the "Georgian" ribbon and the letters Z and V, which have come to represent Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

"El Salvador’s Lake Ilopango, near the capital city of San Salvador, is known for boating, diving and the rugged, scenic beauty of its 100 meter-tall cliffs --- the lip of the caldera that holds the lake. However, 1,500 years ago, it may have been the site of one of the most horrific natural disasters in the world. It may also be the long-sought cause of the extreme climate cooling and crop failures of A.D. 535-536..."

"Dumb and dumber? Evidence suggests the IQs of people in the UK, Denmark and Australia have declined in the last decade. A study by the University of Hartford claims the larger the global population becomes, the less intelligent we will be, dropping by around eight IQ points by the year 2110 - and other estimates are even more pessimistic"

"This doesn’t prove that Tampon Timmy is a pedophile, but the amount of evidence now being aggregated and confirmed strongly suggests that he will soon be proven to be one. One would assume that would be sufficient to cause the Harris campaign to drop him from the ticket, but these days, who knows? After all, he’s now serving his second term as Governor of Minnesota despite what would appear to be some undersized, and underaged, skeletons in his closet."
