Three professors are discussing whether it's better to have a wife or a mistress.
The French professor insists it's better to have a mistress: "It's more exciting, your life is always passionate, full of romance!"
The Philosophy professor disagrees: "No, it's much better to have a wife. Your love grows deep, you live with your best friend, there are few unpleasant surprises."
The Math professor listens to them for a while, then says, "Actually, if you ask me, it's best to have both."
The other two gape at him in surprise. "Both!?"
"Well, of course!" he continues. "That way, when your mistress thinks you're with your wife, and your wife thinks you're with your mistress, you can do mathematics."

Is Linus Torvalds the most underappreciated legend of the tech industry?
40 years ago I began my Russian Studies degree course at the University of Leeds. The era of perestroika & glasnost. At night, on a short wave radio, I’d listen to music from the USSR. I can still remember some of the melodies, some of the music that struck a chord.
💥When two legendary voices collided at Pavarotti & Friends (2001). The explosive power of Tom Jones combined with the grand spirit of Luciano Pavarotti turned the classic hit Delilah into an invaluable, historic moment in world music. A timeless melody that only gets better with every listen... 🎶✨
I’m shocked that Russia can crash a building onto sleeping families in a European capital, murdering 30 people, without any meaningful reaction from the world whatsoever.
Кемпінг — це мій улюблений вид відпочинку. Я маю досвід кемпінгу в дешевих європейських кемпінгах, в дорогих європейських кемпінгах і в диких українських кемпінгах на Шацьких озерах. Мене часто просять розповісти яку спорягу я використовую то ж в цьому дописі я розкажу що у мене є для комфортного кемпування: намети, кухні, пічки, тенти, стіл, стільчаки і тд і тп. Вмощуйтесь зручніше, ми починаємо тред про спорягу для кемпінгу :)
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
La Laure de Kyiv-Pechersk, l'un des hauts lieux de l'orthodoxie ukrainienne inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité de l'UNESCO, a été touchée cette nuit dans l'importante frappe de missiles et de drones russes qui a, de nouveau, pris Kyiv pour cible et fait des victimes civiles.
Tout comme la guerre d’agression que mène la Russie contre l’Ukraine depuis plus de 4 ans, rien ne justifie cette attaque contre notre patrimoine universel.
La France se tient prête à coopérer avec les autorités ukrainiennes en charge du patrimoine.
Cette attaque ne fait que renforcer notre détermination à tout faire, avec nos alliés et partenaires, pour travailler à un cessez-le-feu que la Russie refuse toujours obstinément, puis à la paix. Nous y œuvrerons au G7, à Evian.
In Kyiv, a Russian missile struck the Dormition Cathedral, the main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. It is almost one thousand years old. It is older than Moscow itself.
If those Russian patriots ever dare to start talking about the history of Kievan Rus again, just silently show them these photos. Or not so silently – tell them to go to hell.
For fuck’s sake, it is high time to hit the Lubyanka and the presidential palace in the Kremlin already. What resources do you need? What fundraising should we start?
During the ongoing massive russian missile attack on Kyiv, russian missiles struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of Ukraine's most sacred religious sites and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Praying for everyone's safety and hoping that no one has been harmed.
May G-d protect Ukraine🙏

In today’s Russian papers: how are the “fuel crisis, petrol sales restrictions, drone strikes, flight delays” affecting Russians’ holiday plans? What “victories” does Moscow think it has already gained? Plus, reaction to the World Cup (that Russia is banned from.) #ReadingRussia
