Going straight to the Foreign Service Institute syllabus
SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you’re just, you’re really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it’s going to be a really good call. Because — let me tell you what I told the President. I told the president that you - that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. I told the president I believe that. And I believe the question is — the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise and when we do, we’re going to have a peace deal. I’m even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing.

Great cascade of nonsense here:

Someone on Twitter uses map for global prevalence of circumcision and claims it shows prevalence of MAGA accounts

Someone else develops hot takes on a screenshot, even others contribute with even hotter takes
Someone complaining about Someone who complains about someone's twitter post of a map that was taken out of context

Voting in Denmark is difficult, as it requires you to fold these gigantic ballot papers (up to nearly 1 meter long) and somehow stuff them into the ballot box

Funny to read about professional integrity and objectivity when facing authoritarian tendencies here.

This journal had asked at least one contributor (me) to delete critical references to the United States after having already accepted the article for publication

Looking forward to "Victory Day for GWOT", "Victory Day for the War on Drugs", and frankly for everything else

www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Moments later the president rattled off watching other countries observing the holiday by that name. “I watched it. I watched UK. I watched Russia. They were celebrating Victory Day World War II, and I said ‘we got to have a Victory Day.’ Nobody even talked about it in our country,” Trump said. “From now on we’re going to be celebrating Victory Day for World War I, for World War II and frankly for everything else,” he declared.

Can't get over military tech companies literally plastering DC Metro stations with ads/gibberish

I am sure the average commuter will make sure to order "vehicle intelligence for the warfighter at silicon valley speed" as soon as they reach their office
