I know there's lies, damn lies, ans statistics, but at this even the statistics quietly sob in the corner...
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

The names of the shooters should get full Damnatio Memoriae.
If you want to connect a name to the attack, Mr. Ahned Al-Ahmed should be on all channels. Charging a gunman unarmed, wrestling the gun off him... I hope he fully recovers and gets honored appropriately.
Hats off for him.

🕯️🇺🇦 The bodies of 449 people who died during the occupation of Izyum in 2022 have been identified and reburied.
Of these, 23 are servicemen of AFU. The rest are civilians, among whom are many pro-Ukrainian activists.

A drunk driver on Guadalupe Island just made two vile racists jump right off the deep end of the pool into the Islamophobia trench.
They will exploit any tragedy to push their racist agenda. It's a disgusting lie. No one died, 19 were injured.

☢️🇺🇦 Today marks another anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances of support in the event of aggression…
History has shown that without effective guarantees, international law often fails to work in practice.

You know what, let rhe FIFA give the award to Trump and do not rage about it. They want that.
Instead just keep connecting the FIFA brand to everything he does. "Recipient of FIFA peace award commits another murder on the high seas..."

Football’s governing body has so far remained tight-lipped on the identity of the winner. When asked if the US president would receive the award, Gianni Infantino said: ‘You will see.' on.ft.com/4rFzSLT

Trump: "Under Boot Edge Edge - another grossly incompetent. Get on his bicycle, ride to work. What they do is they take the fiber optics & they take fiber, try to hook it into copper. And fiber and copper don't mix. You can't do it...you saw that by the helicopter crash. You saw that into the plane"

80 years and one day ago, on November 30, 1945, volleys rang out over the Lünenburger Heide. Heinz Eck, commander of the submarine U-852, was shot alongside his second in command and the ship's doctor, for shooting at wreckage and survivors of sinking of SS Peleus.

A breakthrough in navigation, the sextant was used for measuring the angle between a celestial object and the horizon to determine latitude and longitude. It first appeared in the mid 18th century, so wouldn't have been available to pirates of the Golden Age.

A bit more information has been released on the Dali accident, where it turns out a loose wire led to six deaths and this surreal scene.
I wouldn't focus on the wire though - there's whole realms of misteps and oversights that ultimately allowed this to happen.
