Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11.
There’s no other meaning:
The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

According to my 2yo, "that" is not a pronoun. It is, specifically, French toast. As in, "I want THAT!"

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy.
X is based on an algorithm rigged to push the views of Musk and others on the far right.
Bluesky is open. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

The big story tonight is Russia’s overt attack on America’s election - they didn’t even try to hide it - yet it’s being hugely underreported.
This is a huge deal - a superpower intervention to help Trump win.

I am so surprised at how people are freaking out about a result announcement pattern that is exactly the same as it usually is. Big cities take longer. The west coast is still voting. Turn off cable news.
