In the Inferno, lying is actually considered worse than murder.

Sins of passion or weakness of will are punished less severely than fraud or malice — sins of perverted will.

Why? Becoming a slave to your physical passions is bad, but corrupting the mind is much worse. The corruption of the highest faculty (the intellect, a divine gift) is what leads to the greatest evils.

It is more human to sin out of uncontrolled desire. But lying is a calculated betrayal of Truth. It divorces the mind from reality.

Turkey suffers from a chronic illusion of grandeur. A bubble inflated by symbolism, nationalism, and repetition.

Massive convoys for a football team eliminated without scoring a single goal. Endless boasting about NATO’s second-largest army - formidable against Kurdish guerrillas, invisible everywhere else.
A defence industry promoted as a revolution, yet Iranian missiles expose the gap between propaganda and power.

The rhetoric is imperial. The results are humiliating.

When a country has to remind the world every single day how strong and important it is, it’s usually because it isn’t.
Real power speaks for itself.

A Boston city worker said around 2,000 Scotland fans cleaned up after drinking all day and left the area so clean that he didn’t need any help tidying up.

The modern world uses math to create addictive social media algorithms.

The old world used math to create works of ecstatic beauty.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

I miss the era when having enormous wealth was seen as profoundly embarrassing and potentially cause for damnation, to the extent that robber barons would attempt to rid themselves of their massive fortunes by building libraries, museums, concert halls, research universities.

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

Just a reminder: You may notice gas prices inching down a bit. They’re now increasing the level of ethanol they put into our gasoline from 10% to 15%. Started May 1. This is really bad for our cars and will cause damage to our car’s fuel system due to corrosion.

La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.

If straight women and lesbians can both be around girls wearing short skirts, mini dresses, and crop tops without losing control, then maybe—just maybe—the outfit was never the issue.
The problem has always been self-control and personal responsibility, not the clothes.

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

Nothing makes you a feminist more than having daughters. My oldest had been dating a boy from church for a while and for her own reasons, she ended it on Sunday. Monday morning, she walked out to find her car covered in syrup, shaving cream, and dish soap. Our exterior cameras clearly show the boy and a friend doing it overnight. Local police are dragging their feet, calling it a “prank” and suggesting I “calm down and think about the boy’s future” since he is leaving for the Army this summer.

I was left standing there with a 17 year old who is hurt, confused, and trying to figure out why this is being treated like nothing, and she was told to worry about his future instead of justice. I am starting to understand how often the person who was wronged is asked to carry the weight so things stay easier for the person who did it. I do not know how women live with that, being expected to absorb it, excuse it, and move on while the people who hurt them are protected from the consequences.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
