President Trump said U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere will not be questioned, citing the 1823 Monroe Doctrine that warned European powers to stay out of the Americas.
Column | The year of the ‘Donroe Doctrine’
As President Donald Trump’s second term heads toward its second year, his doctrine for the Western Hemisphere, once seen as impractical, is taking real shape.

I have no intelligent thoughts about #HeatedRivalry at all. It’s just a collection of bird noises, most notably: a loon. Just know that I love it so, so much.

Another prompt poem!
I did a couple of challenge/prompt poems this month! “Write about all the things you never had with using the letter ‘a’,” “a 2-3 line poem inspired by lavender,” and “a poem that uses the words ‘brown’ and ‘coffee’”! I hope you enjoy these one shots ☺️

A zygote is the result of a sperm joining an egg.
‘Zygote’ comes from the Greek word for ‘yoke.’
A ‘yoke’ is a wooden beam that JOINS two animals together.
The ‘yolk’ of an egg is from the Old English word for “yellow.”
‘Yoke’ and ‘yolk’ have no relation to each other.

The booktok girlies would be having a FIELD DAY if this aired now.
Also I swear I have a life, okay? Bluesky is the only social where I can take a breath of fresh air without accidentally breathing in the woes of the world. And also I’m sick and binge watching.

They use SO MANY METAPHORS on this show. I feel like that definitely used to be a thing but kids definitely don’t talk like this anymore- not even close.

Remember when Smallville was like 100 miles from Metropolis and then it became magically a reasonable commuting distance? Also did people hate them being in college that much that NO ONE is graduating? No journalism degrees in the Daily Planet I guess

I feel like shit so guess what I’m watching?? And I gotta say: I hated Chloe’s “guys that want to kill her” streak in the early seasons but seeing her with Davis has me wanted to go back. She has ZERO chemistry with Jimmy. Makes me wish for a later-CW version of the show sometimes

Whew. I feel this way and i'm just on the periphery. No where near the epicenter. Yet.
"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

Watching #Smallville again. Why does everyone know about Krypton and Jor-El’s plans except Clark? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the timeline, but the length of time they were preparing for the Traveler and the amount of info doesn’t make sense to me. But seasons 6 and 7 have been wild.

For generations, Mali’s music scene has transcended its borders.
Combining the traditional sounds of the country’s ethnic Tuareg minority with electric guitar riffs, groups have pioneered a new genre known as desert blues.

Listen to the vanishing sounds of Mali’s legendary music scene
Over decades, Mali produced global stars and became a hub for West African guitar. Now, musicians are struggling to hang on amid economic and security crises.

Unpopular #Smallville headcanon: Lionel and Martha were ABSOLUTELY sleeping together once she moved to Washington DC. She loves her some Jonathan but she missed that bright light of power, ambition, and intelligence.
