So far, I wd say Putin is winning the Gulf War. Oil prices are up, & the US has relaxed pressure on India to stop buying fm RU, so budget revenues will increase, making the war easier to fund. And UA will now be an even lower priority for US air defence munitions, so an easier target for RU strikes.
Kyiv faces a shortfall of missile interceptors for its air defense, while surging oil prices are boosting Russiaβs economy

There are several eternal stories: a siege of a fortress, a return of a sailor, and Ukraine being told losing the war inevitably.

Iβm rooting for the safety of the people of Iran. Weβve seen so much bravery and sacrifice in collective action.
Not being anywhere close to being an expert on Iran, I hope the regime change is peaceful. That thereβs enough institutional power and political will for an inclusive process.

I couldnβt even look at potatoes all throughout the 2000s
Also, bacon and potatoes are pretty filling. Know that for a fact from the post-soviet 1990s.
The non-stop gaslighting of Zelensky abt what Ukr can do for peace needs to stop. Let's be clear: Ru hasn't agreed to ANYTHING. The US is badgering Ukraine to offer concessions up front. There is zero commitment from Ru to stop the war if the Ukrainian army started retreating from Donbas tomorrow.
βLast year, more Americans moved to Germany than Germans moved to America. The same was true in Ireland, which welcomed 10,000 people from the U.S. in 2025, about double those who came in 2024.β
Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasnβt definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in

In academic circles, the troubling trend has been a renewed and at times career-making affection for the imagined mystique of the βRussian soul.β

Yes dem oppo is a joke.
Color revolutions showed us how elections are real inflection points for large and long protests from regular citizens.
I keep hearing among U.S. political commentators about the complete unpredictability of what happens if elections are rigged.
As if the world doesnβt offer examples and there were no Euromaidan or color revolutions.
Why is study of this countryβs political journey so self-centered and lonely?
It was a truly global experience
Bad Bunny resonated with so many across the world, especially outside of the West. Something so relatable, so intimate about his way of performing. That child sleeping on chairs at a wedding is just one example β₯οΈ
Favorite take so far: "Bad Bunny is sooo kind to allow a football game during his concert"

I watched the halftime show so much, my Youtube ads for Grammarly are in Spanish now π
Many thought this would happen the first year these two grabbed power. It was surprising to see the duo last for so long.
Thanks to Bad Bunny, βGod Bless Americaβ now has a new meaning β₯οΈ
Me today trying to work but reading pieces on all the symbolics in BB's performance last night
The more I think about Bad Bunnyβs performance last night the more hopeful I feel about the future. Joy is a powerful force β₯οΈ
