Cleopatra spoke nine languages, studied astronomy, medicine, and philosophy at the Library of Alexandria, and ruled Egypt for two decades through war, famine, and Roman invasion. Rome reduced all of it to one word: seductress.
GOGGLER— Too English For The Asian Grammys & Too Korean For The Rest
It’s tempting to say BTS was locked out of the category they inspired. That isn’t quite what happened, and the truth is worse. ARIRANG’s Korean-language tracks would qualify. “SWIM,” the English-language lead single and by far the album’s biggest commercial performer, would not. So the Academy has built a system in which a Korean group’s most globally successful song is too English for the Asian category, while the group itself has spent years being too Korean for the general ones. Pick a lane, the rule says. Then it moves the lane.
Joe Biden had a bad debate. Approximately 765 stories and opinion pieces in the NYTimes.
Donald Trump had 300 bank accounts closed because of evidence of money laundering. Nothing to see here, says the same NYTimes.
The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
It’s not true that women don’t dress for men.
The other day my friends and I went to a concert. If we were dressing only for ourselves, we would’ve worn skirts and dresses. But because we knew we’d be going home late at night, we had to think about men instead—and chose pants, hoodies, and clothes that covered our legs.
That’s the part people always leave out.
Trump — for the record:
The bridge started construction in July 2018, during your administration.
In 2017, your administration listed it as a priority infrastructure project.
And in December 2019, you personally signed into law the first U.S. funding for the bridge, allocating up to $15 million for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
