The core paradox of American demands that the Europeans rearm to be able to help America secure its interests is that a rearmed Europe quickly becomes a first tier military power that can afford to pay less attention to American interests

11 november 1940. De bezetter verbiedt elke herdenking van de Wapenstilstand van 1918. Toch verschijnen overal bloemen, vlaggen en symbolen van verzet. Er volgen arrestaties en strenge straffen, maar het vuur is aangewakkerd. De verzetsgeest is ontwaakt — en zal niet meer doven.

one of my favorite things is that if you look at Lego ads from 15 years ago they were still trying to market sets like this as for kids, and now they feature pictures of guys who have good accountancy jobs.
NEW — LEGO finally unveils their long-rumored 3600pc, $400 STAR TREK: TNG Enterprise-D brick set and limited-availability shuttlepod kit, coming in late November

it was a long aphorism within the church that the pope would never be an american - at least not until america was in decline. the conclave elected leo to make rebukes exactly like this so it's nice to see he at least understands the mandate
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

My boyfriend and I used to call basically every night, usually around this time, for hours on end. Without that, I feel lost. My nights have become empty. I miss hearing his voice every night

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
