My cousin was abused by a medical professional, and granted it was a weird situation, but she kept trying to justify how it hadn’t happened. Excuse why she hadn’t responded differently. She was in shock. I kept having to say, it’s ok there isn’t a right response to being assaulted. And there isn’t.

The latter, just that’s it’s been popular online. He also says Larry McMurtry wasn’t that famous and is shocked that this little-known novel is popular again. He’s clearly a moron: “Mostly gone, too, are novels like Lonesome Dove: lengthy, blood-drenched, and male-coded.”

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia
• Source Network: AS13238 YANDEX – Yandex LLC (Russian Federation)
• Traffic Breakdown: Prior to the drop, bot traffic accounted for roughly 99.6% of requests compared to 0.4% human traffic.
• Event Cause: The sudden plunge to zero on October 11, 2026, corresponds to a reported military/drone attack on Yandex's data center facility in Vladimir, Russia—marking the third reported attack on Yandex data infrastructure since October 8.
