They also really need to stop asking "what can we do to keep OrbΓ‘n satisfied?", when OrbΓ‘n is on the cusp of losing re-election and relying on Russian meddling to stay in power.

How can the EU justify being too chickenshit to seize Russian assets held in Belgium, while at the same time let one of their member states just keep Ukraine's assets and say "this is mine now" with impunity?

If she could say this and at the same time not coddle Trump and validate his insanity then that would be perfect

I try not to be one of those people who get caught up in the snobbery of literary style but we seriously need to cool down on the similes and metaphors

My granddad didn't die in both world wars for the Germans to take over our bloody trains. Brexit means Brexit.

For me it's the pillows. If I'm sleeping in a new place then the pillows can be as comfortable as possible, but I will always drive myself crazy to arrange them in the right way, and it never seems to work.

My sleep schedule is great, I say after waking up at 5:30 and not being able to get back to sleep

Price spikes will hurt a lot, but they're the luxury position--much better to have pump price pain than outright physical shortages, as will be suffered by much of the developing world.

This is how you guarantee shortages in this context.

British trains are so useless, like why are you giving me an E(X) of my platform number?

This Republican put a nail in the coffin for Noem. His next target: Stephen Miller Thom Tillis may be on his way out. But, writes Eric Garcia, he’s not leaving quietly and has taken on Trump by going on the attack against members of his White House

Thom Tillis is increasingly "sick of stupid" from the Trump administration: Just don't call him anti-Trump. My exit profile of a Republican power broker who got labeled as a RINO, and how he wants to take out Stephen Miller. #NCSen #NCPol www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ehh, I think it's specific to the kinds of crowds I surround myself with but now I think about it I can't really think of any artists that strike me as having an overwhelmingly male audience.

(neon paper icon) This appears to be a long document! Save time with an Al Summary? 

(neon hot dog icon) That appears to be a huge hot dog! Grind it between a robot's toothy gears? Extruding a coarse pink mash?

Is there a possibility of Democratic voters flooding the runoff in Texas like they did in Mississippi? I guess it would make more sense for them to try boosting Paxton to increase their chances of winning the general, not sure there's any precedent for that kind of strategy.
