🚨 Greece just uncovered the school where the legendary philosopher Aristotle taught a teenage Alexander the Great.

Archaeologists in Greece have uncovered the ancient Royal Gymnasium at Mieza, the legendary site where the philosopher Aristotle tutored a teenage Alexander the Great between 343 and 340 BCE.

Led by archaeologist Angeliki Kottaridi, the excavation team revealed a sprawling, 30-acre ancient school complex complete with lecture halls, banquet rooms with colorful mosaics, a wrestling school, and an athletic stadium.

The monumental discovery even unearthed physical remnants of everyday student life, including four bronze writing styluses likely used by Alexander and his elite classmates.

This historic find bridges the gap between literary legend and tangible reality, offering a rare look into the classroom that shaped the ancient world.

At Mieza, Aristotle did not merely tutor the future conqueror; he instructed a small cohort of young Macedonian nobles—including Hephaestion and future Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy—in ethics, philosophy, and sciences.

By unearthing the physical classrooms of these towering historical figures, archaeologists have located the literal birthplace of the global Hellenistic era.

Claude Monet was born on this day in 1840. He died 100 years ago. This beautiful and very rare film captures him painting beside the water lily pond in his garden at Giverny. It was filmed in 1915, when he was 74 years old.

¡CAYÓ ALIAS “PATA DE PALO”, SEGUNDO CABECILLA DEL CLAN DEL GOLFO!

¡EL MIEDO CAMBIÓ DE BANDO!

Hoy, 14 de noviembre, nuestra Policía Nacional, en desarrollo de las operaciones Aquiles y Agamenón, capturó en zona rural de Montería, Córdoba, a Francisco Miguel Pacheco, alias “Pata de Palo”, segundo cabecilla de la estructura narcoterrorista Roberto Vargas Gutiérrez, del Clan del Golfo.

¡UN GOLPE CONTUNDENTE A LA CÚPULA DEL NARCOTERRORISMO!

Este criminal acumulaba más de 23 años de trayectoria delictiva y coordinaba las actividades de una organización de más de 1.440 integrantes, distribuidos en ocho subestructuras. Lideraba su expansión en Córdoba, Antioquia, Bolívar y Sucre, alimentando el narcotráfico, la extorsión y la minería ilegal.

Era requerido por homicidio, fabricación, tráfico y porte ilegal de armas de fuego y concierto para delinquir agravado.

El 22 de julio de este año, durante una rueda de prensa en Montería, lo declaré objetivo de interés de mi Gobierno. ¡HOY ESTÁ CAPTURADO!

Mi reconocimiento a nuestra Policía Nacional por este extraordinario resultado.

¡QUE LES QUEDE CLARO A LOS NARCOTERRORISTAS: LOS VAMOS A PERSEGUIR HASTA DESMANTELAR POR COMPLETO SUS ESTRUCTURAS CRIMINALES!

¡Bienvenidos a la Patria Milagro!

¡Firme por la Patria!

¡Que viva Cristo Rey!

Buried deep within the soil of Acámbaro, Michoacán, Mexico, a vast, controversial cache of over 32,000 strange-looking clay figurines was unearthed, challenging conventional timelines of human history. While their precise dating remains a subject of heated debate, with some early thermo-luminescence tests suggesting an antiquity defying accepted scientific knowledge (c. 2500 BC), the archaeological consensus generally points to a more recent origin.

This particular specimen, a startling ceramic artefact, depicts a human figure clad in armor and a flowing cape, riding astride a quadrupedal dinosaur, unmistakably resembling a ceratopsian like Triceratops. The figure is intricately carved, holding a horn-like object, and is positioned firmly on the creature's back. This intimate juxtaposition of human and dinosaur creates a profound sense of wonder and disbelief. It evokes a lost world, whether real or imagined, where ancient peoples possessed a knowledge of prehistoric life that predates modern scientific discovery, urging us to question the boundaries between myth, history, and the mysteries still waiting to be unearthed.

In the summer of 1915, Sister Louise of Saint-Germain lay near death in the convent of the Daughters of the Cross at Ustaritz, France.
For years she had suffered from a severe stomach ulcer that caused relentless pain and bloody vomiting. Doctors confirmed the wound extended through the pylorus into the duodenum.

After weeks of taking only sips of ice water, which she immediately rejected, she was so weak that the last sacraments were administered.
The community began a novena to Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus. During those days Louise felt a gentle hand rest upon her head and noticed an unexplainable perfume filling the room. Still the suffering continued.

In September 1916 she renewed her prayers with greater confidence. One night Thérèse herself appeared and said, “Be generous, you will soon be cured, I promise you.” In the morning the sisters found rose petals of every color scattered around her bed.
A few days later, after one final violent attack on the evening of September 21, Louise fell into a deep, unexpected sleep. When she awoke the next morning, every trace of pain had vanished. She felt strong, hungry, and completely well. Within hours she rose, attended Mass, and soon returned to her regular duties. For more than a year afterward she enjoyed perfect health.

This sudden and lasting cure, carefully examined during the process for Thérèse’s beatification, became the second miracle that opened the way for her beatification by Pope Pius XI in 1923.

Liam Hemsworth finally confessed he divorced his ex wife Miley Cyrus, after she aborted their child, an experience that traumatized him and hospitalized him.

“I ended our marriage because she only cared about herself. I begged her not to terminate the pregnancy, but she didn't listen to me. she went behind my back and terminated it without my consent"

"We had already planned to have several children and build a big family together, but suddenly she made that decision without considering the future we had dreamed of sharing. I was emotionally devastated because i had always hoped and dreamed of becoming a father one day, and losing that opportunity broke something inside me till now"

No One Painted Fantasy Like Edward Robert Hughes

He turned dreams into paintings.

Ethereal figures, enchanted landscapes, light that feels like it’s coming from another world. His art lives somewhere between reality and fantasy.

Inspired by mythology, folklore, and the Pre-Raphaelite imagination, he invites us into a place of mystery, beauty, and magic.

Dear Chuck Schumer,

Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of “Eyes On the Prize” when I was younger.

With that said…

Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0?” Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).

With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.

Looking forward to your answer.

No hugs.
Zeek

🚨 SHOCKING: Apparently, German police tried to enter Poland through small dirt roads in the forests, along the border with Poland, and leave illegal immigrants there.

Polish citizen patrols reportedly monitored the area and prevented the alleged transfers.

🇵🇱 This would be an extraordinary escalation in the migration dispute between Germany and Poland.

I met a girl named Jessica today. She was working at Kroger, outside in the wind, trying to push some really heavy carts.

As I walked by, I saw a cranky lady in a car roll down her window and yell at Jessica for being in her way.

Jessica looked so embarrassed—like she was about to cry. I gave her a quick hug and told her she did nothing wrong, that she was doing a great job, and that some people are just mean.

We walked into the store together, and she asked me to stay with her while she told her manager what had happened. She got upset again just talking about it.

I let the manager know Jessica didn’t do anything wrong and that she handled the situation really well. I also asked the manager how many people with special needs work there.

He said they have at least 12 and they never turn anyone away who wants to work. Big shout out to Kroger in New Albany for being awesome!

❤️ When Elon’s Mom Says “Well Deserved,” You Know It’s Real:

Maye Musk @mayemusk just dropped one of the warmest nods of the week—replying “Well deserved 🥇👏👏👏” to @DataRepublican after she won the People’s Choice Award for Citizen Journalist of the Year at the O’Keefe Media Group gala.

Coming from Maye—a dietitian, bestselling author, decades-long model, and the woman who raised Elon—this carries real weight. She knows a thing or two about grit, independence, and building something meaningful without chasing the spotlight.

Elon @elonmusk has long amplified @DataRepublican’s public data work, so seeing his mother step in with genuine warmth feels like a full-circle moment. 🥰

In a feed full of noise, it’s good to see substance, hard work, and receipts get recognized.

👏🏻Congratulations again to @DataRepublican.

Maye’s right.
