Massachusetts now has 10 cities where a typical starter home costs $1 million or more.

Before the pandemic, there was just one.

Nationwide, the number of cities with $1 million starter homes has surged from 80 in 2020 to a record 242 today.

The people who can see twenty years ahead are governed by people who can see twenty days ahead and this is the structure of all collapse

The most well-read generation in history is also the most confused about basic things that illiterate peasants understood without trying. my great grandmother couldnt name a philosopher but she knew what a man was and what a woman was and what children needed and when to stay and when to leave and she was right about all of it. she didnt have a theory of relationships she had relationships. marriage is like that. meaning is like that. my grandfather never once asked if he was fulfilled he was too busy fulfilling things and then he died and he was at peace and his children were at his bed. some things you can only know by doing and the doing has to be clumsy and unprincipled and you have to look stupid for years and we are too proud to look stupid which is why we stay stupid forever

Good character is a woman's first and most lasting beauty.

The most successful men consider this to be non-negotiable.

There is a certain lowliness and desperation in men who put up with headaches and poor character women because of her external beauty. Ungrounded. They live to seek validation, even when they know their trophy is hollow.

The individuals we meet and admire amplify qualities that already exist within us, waiting to be noticed, to be invested in - for the ability to perceive and recognise such signatures often indicates a degree of inherent resonance. Through meaningful connection, which acts almost as a conduit, we cultivate and refine what it means to be ourselves. Thus, while romantics may say we keep parts of another within us, and that may carry facets of truth, it is more the profound gratitude we feel towards those who unlocked and unleashed the dimensions of ourselves we have since come to embody and love.

Clearly laid out & well said & backed by fucking evidence. Leave the Middle East permanently. Americans are the priority.

I’m skeptical that President Trump can secure a deal with Iran at this point in the war — I’ll explain why that is below, but let me first caveat my skepticism by reiterating: we don’t need to a deal to just declare victory and walk away. It’s the only way out of this mess in the short term that will deliver anything that looks like a win for the U.S.

Why can’t we reach a deal with Iran?

1. Iran believes they are winning—and they are not wrong to think they are. Iran is exploiting powerful leverage, which we delivered to them: closing the SOH has obviously significantly hindered the flow of oil/gas, putting massive pressure on us and the global economy.

Today, President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy has secretly escorted 200 oil tankers out of the SOH. While this is positive news and may have helped temper rising oil prices somewhat, the impact is not substantial enough to prevent a major energy crisis. These 200 tankers transiting the SOH over the past 100 days represent only about 2% of the normal volume—roughly 10,000 ships every 100 days—prior to the war. Furthermore, the U.S. has to deploy major naval and air assets to keep the SOH open. This is not sustainable and works to Iran’s advantage in the long run: Iran can disrupt commerce through the strait with relatively little effort, while the U.S. must risk two carrier battle groups simply to move 2% of the normal amount of oil and gas.

2. The Iranian hardliners have been emboldened and have no interest in reaching a deal. For years before the war, there was major tension between the moderates—who were open to dialogue with the U.S.—and the more militant factions of the Iranian government, primarily senior officers in the IRGC. At the outset of the war, we killed the leading moderate figure (moderate by Iranian standards), Supreme Leader Khamenei, along with several of his civilian counterparts like Ali Larijani. We’ve used the cover of peace talks as a ruse to launch attacks on Iran on two separate occasions. All of this bolstered the hardliners’ standpoint that we cannot be trusted in negotiations and that Iran had no choice but to fight.

3. Israel. Despite reports of tension between Bibi and Trump, the Israelis remain the spoiler of any progress towards a deal and prove it every time there are serious talks of peace. President Trump has made public statements urging Israel to show restraint, but has been ignored and, in many cases, outright defied. The Israelis consider any peace deal with Iran to be unacceptable and a major threat to their nation. Until President Trump takes away some U.S. military support from Israel, they will continue to sabotage any chance of a lasting peace.

Incredible. @CourtTV is incensed that Anthony is guilty. Calling the judge stupid. Calling the jury idiotic. Even making fun of a guy outside the courthouse that’s wearing a Stars and Stripes shirt saying he should “leave” and that “he’s a cliche”. Every single person being interviewed cares more for a murderer than the kid whose life was stolen.

Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.

The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.
