Yes! S.A. Crosby's book "King of Ashes" had a character named Nevaeh who was born years before that name became a thing. Took me completely out of the narrative.

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

Oh no. And poor Enrique Tarrio had assured us all he had an ETA exemption, in spite of his fraud and terrorism and gun crime convictions. Whatever injustice might have caused these travel difficulties?

As much as I love Poland I’ve been away from home for two weeks. I wasn’t even given the common courtesy to be notified in advance about this issue. Now I’m stuck abroad.

can I get some assistance here?

Remember that Republicans believe that the first spike there, caused entirely by Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is actually Joe Biden's fault while the second spike there, caused entirely by Trump's war on Iran, is also Joe Biden's fault.

Not necessarily the main point here, but I do think there's an interesting sociological thing where us white people, because our culture is just taking over other people's cultures, can't handle the way that non-white people socialise and always assume something sinister is going on.

Not only no culture, but no *commons*. The dependency on the capitalist overlords will be complete, because you can’t ask for help or context from others when there is no common frame of reference. This has already happened in coding, the first space where they destroyed the commons we’d all built.

The dreadful decline of hosting at home: ‘I feel shame any time a friend comes over’

It used to be quite normal to pop next door for a coffee or invite friends over for dinner. But not any more. What’s behind this change – and just how damaging is it?

Trump’s plan to save the midterms is…help Russia. The Trump-Vance-Kushner-Witkoff approach to the war has always been weaken Ukraine so they bow down to Putin. It hasn’t worked. With nearly two years of this, Ukraine has shown it can thwart ground offensives and strike Russian oil without US help.
