As renown philosopher George W. Bush once sagely opined:

"There's an old saying in Tennesseeβ€”I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennesseeβ€”that says 'Fool me once, shame on . . . shame on you. Fool meβ€”you can't get fooled again'"

For the first time in months or maybe years, Ukraine is liberating more territory than it's losing, says Come Back Alive Foundation chief Taras Chmut. Russia lost the winter battle and Ukraine keeps fighting, he wrote on X.

Despite being continually accused of not integrating, Muslims have voted in numbers, and against a party with a Muslim Home Sec whose immigration policies and actions regarding Gaza they strongly opposed.Instead they found common value with a white British woman who spoke to them locally and beyond.

A stunning #Neolithic rock crystal arrowhead found in the pile-dwelling settlement of NeuchÒtel, Switzerland, dating from around 3500 BC. The raw material was not available in the immediate area, but came from the Alps. Rock crystal has been mined in the Swiss Alps since the early Mesolithic.🧡1/3
