There’s no easy way to put this, but Ukrainians have a fixation on the Aeneid, quote it in casual talk, and have all read what can only be described as an Aeneid fanfic where Aeneas is Ukrainian in school

New social media platform, new posts, same old confusion—“WHAT is going on at the Securities and Exchange Commission…?”
all the "SEC teams are so much better than Indiana" bros are malding pretty hard right now.

IU had one regular season loss and it was to the team obliterating Tennessee right now.

Eternally grateful that all my family members—aunts, uncles, cousins, etc—are pretty damn sane. No bigots to deal with at Rosh Hashanah or Thanksgiving. No one trying to swindle ppl or manipulate the elderly. Just chill fam. 🙏

Damn even Le Pen doesn’t want to be associated yet Elon is outright advocating for them
Also lmao at the nazis spying for the Chinese
1/Reminder: The AfD is not just any far-right party. Its leaders use Nazi slogans, members have been arrested for allegedly spying for the Chinese, and it is monitored as a suspected extremist group. Even the French National Rally has broken off relations. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Far-Right group crossed ‘red line’ with claim that not all members of group that ran death camps were criminals

This was a murder and very clearly not a terrorist attack. The characterization of it as such is honestly best expressed in Luigi’s own words: an insult to the intelligence of the American people. We are New Yorkers, we are VERY familiar with terrorism, this was not it.
Eric Adams on his ridiculous decision to go down to the heliport today when Luigi arrived.

“I'm not going to just allow him to come into our city. I wanted to look him in the eye and stated that you carried out this terrorist act in my city…and I wanted to be there to show the symbolism of that.”

Call me overly optimistic but getting a no frills Superman movie, a story written by a couple of American Jewish kids during the rise of Nazism, feels like a net positive for American culture. The underlying themes would be exactly what we need rn. Superheroes can be powerful narrative messengers.

Billionaires aren't paying their Medicare and Net Investment Income Taxes.

They're writing off their private jets and yachts.

They're not being taxed on capital gains.

This is what it looks like when billionaires pay millionaires to write our tax laws.

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

Yes KIRSTEN 👏
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is on a mission in President Biden’s final days in office. She wants to convince him that he can rescue his legacy by adding the Equal Rights Amendment, which would explicitly guarantee sex equality, to the Constitution as a way to protect abortion rights in post-Roe America.

Who else remembers the best episode of Top Gear where Clarkson tries to drive this thing and it falls over every time he tries to make a turn
I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad
