I am usually devoid of religious empathy of any type, but I just have to say that hearing Ave Maria sung at tonight's concert to celebrate the restoration of Notre Dame gives me goosebumps. Beautiful 😍

Interesting.
The influence of Hayek's "The Intellectuals and Socialism" essay on parts of the right is under-reported.
Their theory of social change is fundamentally focused on "the secondhand dealers in ideas."

the obsession with USAID and the US Institute of Peace (which studies peaceful transitions to democracy) are particularly instructive. they believe that all protesters are paid. what's the solution? dismantle the payment agencies which pay the protesters.

Watching a doco on Akhenaten. Quote: 'most Kings understood that if you control the priests, you control the people'.
There may be a lot of church people in the US who naively believe that Trump is doing their bidding rather than that they have become his subjects.

🇺🇸🥚 The U.S. has asked Denmark and other European countries to increase egg exports due to a sharp rise in prices.
Previously, Trump even threatened Denmark with sanctions if it didn’t hand over control of Greenland to the US.
First—threats. Then—eggs. Is this politics or just cognitive dissonance?

Russian? Want some American chips for your weapons to fight Ukraine? No problem. There's a supply chain.
The Kyiv Independent successfully ordered American chips through Russian suppliers in February 2025, proving that dozens of Russian microelectronics suppliers find ways to circumvent U.S. and European bans and resell imported chips to arms manufacturers.
Investigation: We tried to buy American chips as a Russian defense manufacturer — and it worked
Despite bans put in place by the U.S. and Europe on the supply of electronic components to Russia, dozens of Russian microelectronics suppliers continue to obtain and resell imported chips to Russian ...

SpaceX scrubs astronaut flight that was to retrieve stuck astronauts
SpaceX on Wednesday scrubbed the expected launch of a replacement crew of four astronauts to the International Space Station that would have set in motion the long-awaited homecoming of U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stuck in space for nine months after a trip on Boeing's faulty Starliner.

Donald is either shrinking or he's been fibbing about how tall he is 😂
People who believe Donald cares about them are the same ones who believe he's 6'4", but somehow 6'2" Elon is towering over him

I was on a Committee where the elderly president did this on every noun. He couldn't spell, changed our Trust Deed without a lawyer & used bold red font in emails, but we won't give Donny that idea. Anyway, we got rid of him. I will get the same satisfaction in seeing you all get rid of Trump.
Grandpa Stupid isn’t President he’s just an elderly rapist with nothing to lose but our 401Ks. 📉
