1 month into the Iran war, Donald Trump said it would be over "in about two weeks." That was 182 days ago. That's why we partnered with VoteVets to build a calendar of every single time Trump said the war would be ending. Go to AboutTwoWeeks.com and see for yourself.

A British farm has unveiled a giant pumpkin mosaic of Sir David Attenborough to celebrate the naturalist's 100th birthday. The mosaic broke the farm's own record for the world's largest squash mosaic. The record was confirmed by Guinness World Records at the unveiling of the artwork on Tuesday.

some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads: 

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Attached is an image of a classy and generous letter Dolly Parton sent to Eminem after missing a chance to meet him at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

French Historian Marc Bloch, 1940. This is from his book Strange Defeat that tried to make sense of why the French elite succumbed so seemingly easily to the Nazi takeover. Bloch, a nerdy middle aged Sorbonne professor, joined the resistance and was executed by the Gestapo in 1944.
By birth I am a Jew, though not by religion, for I have never professed any creed, whether Hebrew or Christian. I feel neither pride nor shame in my origins. I am, I hope, a sufficiently good historian to know that racial qualities are a myth, and that the whole notion of Race is an absurdity which becomes particularly flagrant when attempts are made to apply it, as in this particular case of the Jews, to a group of co-religionists originally brought together from every corner of the Mediterranean, Turco-Khazar, and Slav worlds. I am at pains never to stress my heredity save when I find myself in the presence of an anti-Semite. But it may be that certain persons will challenge. the evidence which I propose to put on record, and attempt to discredit it on the grounds that I am an 'alien'. I need say no more in rebuttal of such a charge than that my great-grandfather was a serving soldier in
1793; that my father was one of the defenders of Strasbourg in
1870; that both my uncles chose to leave their native Alsace after its annexation by the Second Reich; that I was brought up in the traditions of patriotism which found no more fervent champions than the Jews of the Alsatian exodus, and that France, from which many would like to expel me to-day (and may, for all I know, succeed in doing so), will remain, whatever happens, the one country with which my deepest emotions are inextricably bound up. I was born in France. I have drunk of the waters of her culture. I have made her past my own. I breathe freely only in her climate, and I have done my best, with others, to defend her interests.

Doing the whole flight with no signal and/or no callsign was an option! That's what they did at earlier stages of the flight. Changing it to AF1 is using the crew, staff members and journalists as bait for the aggressor allegedly making the serious threat.
An ADSBx map showing the aircraft flying without a signal out of Ankara, and then turning on ABS-B Out with no callsign. It later falsely switched to AF1.
