It was on this day in 1742, in Dublin , that George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time. It happened at the New Music Hall in Fishamble Street. The performance was a fundraising event for charities and prisoners, with tickets costing a half-guinea each.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Remember JD Vance's birth certificate states his name as James Donald Bowman. Does this mean he can't vote? Or does the SAVE Act just target the female population?

A weevil with orange scale on its exoskeleton, and a long snout. It is sitting on a leaf facing right with its abdomen resting on the leaf surface and its front legs extended, kind of sitting like a dog.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Ancient Rome and the USA — besties since 753 BC, apparently. Roman legions marched the Wild West in sandals, confusing cowboys and helping the North win the Revolutionary Civil Independence War after Caesar crossed the Mississippi. The translator's face says it all: “Send help.” 😂
Two images of President Donald Trump sitting beside an Italian translator. In both, the translator looks visibly confused or stunned. The caption jokes about Trump claiming the USA and Ancient Rome were longtime allies, highlighting her bewildered reaction.
