This is the regional order weāve helped build and fund to the tune of billions of dollars. The U.S. has actively undermined democratic movements in the Arab world for decades ā one of the great moral stains on America and its global role.
Important to remember that with the fall of Assad and the crippling of Iran's resistance axis, for the US's Middle East partners the key existential threat remains the same: Arab democracy.

Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb. So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

The concentration in India is something that really hasn't been assimilated into the mainstream understanding of Roman history.

Alrightāthis is extremely bad and a product of climate change, but itās not āastronomical.ā Astronomy is full of far greater horrors. Supernovae, gamma ray bursts, primordial black holes, the Great Red Spot. Donāt believe me? Ask a dinosaur how horrifying astronomy can get.
8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on

This elected asshat Turnbull really said āIāll make pi = 3 and thereās nothing you can do about itā
When told the laws of mathematics made it impossible to design encryption to only keep good secrets, not bad ones, Turnbull said, "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia": https://t.co/Dy7Byorut0 13/

Right before this, the Brewers were up 2. It was looking bleak, bottom of the 8th. Pete missed a foul ball against the nets, and a Brewers fan in front row literally pointed at him and laughed in his face. The season was over The next inning Pete was up to bat and turned tide.

Easy to miss the context on this one. Alonso might not be on the Mets next yearāheās up for free agency. Heās also been playing like shit for a few weeks. Every game, he looks like heās about to break down in tears. Last night he missed a hit because he tripped over his own bat
