Tāda tradicija LV ir jau sen. To pieredzēju n-tās reizes. Sajūta vnmēr pretīga, bet vainīgie domā, ka tas ir pieklajīgi. Un zinu sievietes, kas saka, es taču nedošu vīrietim savu rokā. Kaut kāds arhaisks talibāhisms.

Qatar Minster of education Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater to the US: “…we just need you to leave us alone. To stop igniting wars so that weapons’ companies can make more money. We need you to Stop Bombing Schools, to stop trafficking and raping little kids.”

The FTSE 100 dropped 1.4% in the first 2 minutes of trade - investors reacting to the surge in oil prices.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down by more than 5%. In South Korea, the Kospi index triggered the circuit breaker, a 20-minute halt to trading to curb panic selling.

Now it all makes sense.

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?

Just asking.

How’s y’all’s congresspeople doing?

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
