It was on this day in 1742, in Dublin , that George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time.
It happened at the New Music Hall in Fishamble Street. The performance was a fundraising event for charities and prisoners, with tickets costing a half-guinea each.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Henry James
Kindness never goes out of season. Every moment is a chance to care. Compassion makes the world gentler.

Remember JD Vance's birth certificate states his name as James Donald Bowman. Does this mean he can't vote? Or does the SAVE Act just target the female population?
