Despite what they'll tell you, Americans have a long tradition of spiritual wisdom and meditative history. But from the otherworldly cowboy to the wise mechanic- we're at risk of losing it all. Find out more in my latest
Maybe it's been this way before & it was just before my time.
But it's seeming more and more obvious that we have populist right v islamoleftist lining up in a way that supersedes nation and I see that getting really ugly really fast once something gives.
Losing an election is not grounds for asylum.
Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports.
The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.

The kind of cowardice that'd earn you a spot in Dante's fan fiction.
Desde LALIGA lamentamos profundamente las declaraciones de Kylian Mbappé que han causado malestar y ofensa en China. Entendemos el daño ocasionado y, en nombre de LALIGA, quiero trasladar nuestras sinceras disculpas al pueblo chino.
Durante muchos años hemos construido una relación de respeto, confianza y cooperación con China, sus autoridades, sus instituciones deportivas, sus operadores audiovisuales y millones de aficionados al fútbol español.
No podemos permitir que una actuación individual empañe esa relación ni perjudique a los más de 20 clubes de nuestras competiciones profesionales y a millones de aficionados chinos.
Estamos adoptando las medidas a nuestro alcance y trabajando directamente con nuestros socios e interlocutores en China para superar esta situación.
Nuestro compromiso con China, su pueblo y sus instituciones es firme. Una relación construida durante tantos años no puede quedar dañada por un episodio individual.

Los historiadores estiman que entre 1958 y 1962, Mao causó entre 15 y 55 millones de muertes, sobre todo por hambruna. Las cifras más citadas rondan los 30-45 millones. A esto se suman cientos de miles o millones más por la Revolución Cultural y otras campañas.

I don't think Fielder co-directed You Can See Everything.
I think Oppenheim directed the whole thing while Nathan played an overinvolved doc director inserting himself into the story.
And that's not a criticism
One of the biggest hurdles young people face today is that if you do avoid becoming a porn addict, you may not be able to recognize the covert porn ads all over socials and end up with your societal view warped by it anyway.
Beautiful. Truly an incel level crashout over a dude saying, "we don't want to date women who aren't sexually attracted to us."
Its kind of funny to me how men all want to be the prize now. Women used to be pursued, now men want to be the ones pursued. They want to be chased. They want the girls they find beautiful to think he’s out of their league. The old man trope of “I’m lucky she puts up with me” and he had to fight for his life to win her over just isnt worth the effort to these guys. You can blame their opinion that they think women arent worth it but it seems more like learned helplessness. Men were dying in war while getting Dear John letters. It cant possibly be worse now. I think its some hormone issue. Theyre literally willing to just roll over and die than put any effort in.
Im trying to picture it.. the loser in a village of 5 women his generation who are all spoken for already. He has no prospects. No phone to harass women on twitter, no girls to groom on discord. Its bleak. Your village has a few other single guys and they’re going to pillage another village. You go fight with your tribe but you wont take home a war bride. The one you could get was already a mother. “Gross. Sloppy seconds and who knows what else? Id rather die alone.”
Now you dont even have to risk dying to abduct women from somewhere else. You have millions of them on your phone. You just have to figure out the right string of words to get them out. “No” he says.. “they should be begging me for a chance. I refuse”
You Can See Everything may not reach any conclusion about Elizabeth Holmes.
But it does come to the conclusion that documentaries are an inherently dishonest format that masquerades as truth while being just as much a construction as any other movie. And that's better.

This might be the dumbest post I've seen on Twitter this weekend. (regarding CFB -- no warranties expressed or implied on the rest of Twitter).
Just a three minute look at @TexasTechFB under Coach McGuire shows:
1) He's won 8+ games every season since being hired. In the 15 years prior Tech's win totals ranged from 4 to 7 games.
2) He's had a winning Big 12 record every year since he took over (including the last two years Oklahoma and Texas were in the league).
Prior to his arrival in 2022, Tech hadn't had a winning Big 12 conference record since 2009.
3) High School recruiting at Tech has improved from #48 when McGuire took over to #10 currently. That improvement has been incremental each year (43, 25, 18, 10).
Tech's last Top 25 class came under Tommy Tuberville in 2010, and prior to that they had two Top 25 classes under Mike Leach.
So in four years McGuire has had more Top 25 classes than the last 25 years combined. And that would probably go back to 50 years if I had time to do that much research.
There's no doubt that the NIL era has helped Tech, as they have more resources than any other Big 12 program and most of the P4, including most in the SEC and Big Ten.
But the improvements in record and recruiting came before NIL and Cody Campbell's donations started.
The grass is always greener with fans, and these asinine "fire the coach!" posts are also coming from fan bases at Georgia, Alabama, and every other school that has suffered an upset loss.
That's why fans aren't in charge of hiring and firing. If they were every school would be looking for a new coach every season.
Kind of crazy to say "males no matter how ugly are accepted and hyped up" about a guy with a clear deformity.
That's like saying "why are people making fun of me for being unathletic but not Wheelchair Mary?"
I mean there kind of is someone in charge of making sure my grocery store has milk tomorrow but I know what you mean.
I want to make fun of this. But I know I liked some tweets predicting this would be about Palestine or some other Ben and Jerry's style bullshit.
They got me.
