Let me see if I understand this: the Academy nominated "Barbie" for Best Picture (eight nominations total) -- a film about women being sidelined and rendered invisible in patriarchal structures -- but not the woman who directed the film.
Okay then.
The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.
If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.
That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.
The early call in favor of Trump was utterly shocking, coming as it did after the media had reported entrance poll results showing that 92,000% of all GOP caucus-goers would support Trump even if he ax-murdered fifty nuns live on the Laura Ingraham show
On the Left Bank of the Dnieper, they captured several Russians.
One of them had a serious abdominal wound.
Paramedic Grek checked:"not long left, soon will die."
We got into boats and started sailing to the right bank. The wounded occupant began to scream furiously in pain.
"Let me go back and inject him with morphine," Greg said to the commander. Arta shot, and it was actually suicide to return to the shore.
He's back. I injected morphine into an enemy who, a few minutes ago, could have aimed specifically at him.
When he finally reached the opposite bank, the brothers asked, " Greg, Why did you do this? This is the enemy who tried to kill you."
"Because he is also a man," Greg replied.
Grigory Tsekhmistrenko, a guy with a Canadian passport and a Ukrainian heart, died on the night of January 15, 2023.
Today, to remember him, his friends, relatives, and colleagues gathered in Kiev.
Irrationally human, sacrificial and kind.
Everyone talked about him, not because it is not customary to say bad things about the dead.
But because he helped the homeless on the streets and even made the last minutes of the Russian's life painless. Because I felt that way. It seemed right to him.
I know that it is unacceptable to talk about such things now, because we are all rightly charged with hatred for Russians.
But then I met Grisha.
Unfortunately, I met him after his death.
To convince me that humanity is not a weakness, but a strength.
And that in the terrible inhumane conditions of war, there are people who are able to preserve this humanity.
Trump's lawyer says her case to keep Trump on the ballot is based on her confidence in the corruption of Supreme Court justices.

Trump once again praised Xi Jinping, saying the communist dictator is “brilliant” because he manages to oppress 1.4 billion people:
“He controls 1.4 billion people ruthlessly. Ruthlessly. No games”
Do you still think Trump wants to be a dictator just for one day?
UNDER-REPORTED FACT: according to the NY AG lengthy filing this week (p.44), Trump's fraudulent business activities resulted in ill-gotten gains used to invest in various projects, including "Trump's 2016 presidential campaign."
I feel like, if you're Qatar, and you tell the world your reason for harbouring terrorists on your soil is because it gives you leverage as an impartial player in conflict, you need to prove that at some point.
A new report found that America’s richest families accumulated $8.5 trillion in untaxed capital gains in 2022.
...And they want the Supreme Court to keep it that way.

Perhaps it's embarrassing to Russia that it must seek military aid from North Korea. Certainly it's embarrassing to rich, democratic countries when North Korea helps Russia more than they help Ukraine.
