I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Competent law enforcement officers can defuse situations involving potentially dangerous individuals. They are trained for this, and they understand it is their job. ICE seems to be the exact opposite: escalating situations to the point of killing peaceful individuals.

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

Už když 16.6.2015 Trump sjel po zlatém eskalátoru v Trump Tower, oznámil kandidaturu na prezidenta a prohlásil, že zastaví příliv “rapists” do USA, mi bylo jasné, že je špatný člověk, naprosto nevhodný pro tuto funkci. Od té doby jedeme z kopce a teď už se Trump úplně zbláznil. 1/2

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know: It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Někdy však celé národy poklesnou tak, že zcela opustí ctnost zvanou rozum. Pak je spravedlivé, že na ně padne kletba osudu a vezme jim vnější svobodu poté, co ztratili tu vnitřní. John Milton - Ztracený ráj, Kniha dvanáctá. Přeložil Martin Hilský

Latin had six noun cases, but in all Romance languages except Romanian, nouns and adjectives only have one singular form and one plural form left. What happened? This extra large infographic tells you how the Latin case system collapsed – and why it's the accusative case that lives on in Romance.

Martin Hilský o aktuálním Johnu Miltonovi (rok 1649): “Milton byl přesvědčen, že spravedlivý král je požehnání pro společenství, jemuž vládne, tyran však zneužívá královského majestátu k jednostrannému a krajně nebezpečnému prosazování vlastních privilegií a sobeckých zájmů.”
