Well done Sir Keir Starmer, you have just caused a source of images across a mega ton of tutorials including 'Safety' manuals/guides, 50 billion blog posts, tens of millions of avatars, countless number of Gifs, billions of screenshots, etc to be blocked by your Orwellian Online Safety Act of which does not protect anyone except your filthy draconian regime.
That said, I'm using Postimages (https://postimg.cc) so hopefully folks in the UK can see below images.
Sept 30, 1935: President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated Boulder Dam. He then became the 1st sitting President to visit Las Vegas and nearby Mt. Charleston. Congress changed the name back to Hoover Dam in 1947. US Senator Key Pittman joined the governors of states on the Colorado River for the ceremony. Roosevelt did not mention Hoover. Reports say 20,000 people attended his speech.
"If there are such things as ghosts or heavenly spirits, one of them must be watching the President today as he inspects the mightiest dam the world has ever seen-the handiwork one man long ago planned and conceived."

Sept 30, 1936: American journalists Herbert R. Ekins, reporter for the New York World-Telegram, 23-yr-old Dorothy Kilgallen of the New York Journal and Leo Kieran of The NY Times start the race to travel around the world on commercial dirigibles & airline flights. Dorothy made the trip in 24 days, 12 hours.
The race propelled her career, and her book, Girl Around the World, and was the basis for the 1937 film Fly-Away Baby, released six weeks after the Hindenburg disaster.

The 1936 American Airlines Douglas DST-144 (DC-3) named "Flagship Illinois" seen in the film, registration NC16002, disappeared on a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami in 1948, and has been referred to as a possible Bermuda Triangle mystery.
The Pan Am clipper they are shown boarding is a Martin M-130 named the "Philippine Clipper", registration NC14715, built in 1934. It also suffered a horrible fate as did the DC-3 shown in this film. On January 21, 1943 while on flight 1104 from Honolulu to San Francisco, it crashed into a mountain at 2,500 feet near Ukiah, California at night in bad weather. All nine crew and ten passengers were killed.
The Pan Am clipper shown taxiing for takeoff, a Martin M-130 named "Hawaii Clipper", registration NC14714 also had a terrible fate. It was lost on July 28, 1938 while on a flight between Guam and Manila. Nine crew and six passengers were lost. A week-long search failed to find any wreckage or survivors.
And the reporter who knew too much, Dorothy Kilgallen (July 3, 1913 – Nov 8, 1965) had a mysterious death.
Sept 30, 1939: Papers please. As part of war-time regulations, a system of Identity cards was introduced in Britain, with a legal requirement that every man, woman and child had to carry one, and if not, to produce it on demand or present it at a police station within 48 hours.

Sept 30, 1951: U.S. Army soldier Clint Eastwood hitched a ride on a Navy Douglas AD-1Q Skyraider that ran out of fuel and ditched near the coast of California. He then paddled a raft for two miles to safety. Four years later he made his first credited appearance in FRANCIS IN THE NAVY. That talking mule is back... and the Navy's got him!

Sept 30, 2025: AMERICA OFF-LINE! "Welcome! You've had mail!" After 34 years with a final screech, AOL's dial-up service goes silent.

America Online traces its origins to a 1980s service called PlayNET. This was back when, to most of the public, the “Internet” was a mysterious thing reserved to “hackers” and featured in movies like WarGames (1983), where an American teen inadvertently gains access to military control centers. A new IBM PC client was launched in 1988, and later renamed as America Online in 1989.
Believe it or not, a fair number of internet users — especially in rural or remote areas where broadband Internet is not available or is too expensive — also still rely on dial-up: as many as 163,401, according to recent U.S. Census data.
AOL's shutdown doesn't mean dial-up is completely dead. Several niche providers like NetZero, Juno, and Dialup 4 Less continue to offer dial-up services, particularly in areas where it remains the only option.

WAR DEPT ORDERS: SecWar Pete Hegseth says all combat troops must meet the highest male physical standard. "If you can't meet the Standard, you're out!"
Hegseth NUKES fat generals and announces a new twice-yearly PT test for top brass.
"It's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading all around the world. It's a BAD LOOK, and it's not who we are!"
"You need to meet the height and weight standards."
"If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it."
"Today, at my direction, every member of the Joint Force at every rank is required to take the PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year. EVERY year of service."
SECRETARY OF WAR HEGSETH: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction, or gender delusions, no more debris. We are done with that shit.”
Thinking how bizarre it is that Hegseth needs to say any of this. He has to talk down to his Generals because they really went along with all this nonsense rather than focusing on being an effective fighting force.

In old English weird meant the "power to control fate" and grew out of wyrd, which meant "destiny." 600 years later the word's been reduced to a synonym for "strange," but perhaps there's a lesson in there: it is not the norm but the weird anomaly that shapes your destiny.
