I’m rooting for the safety of the people of Iran. We’ve seen so much bravery and sacrifice in collective action.

Not being anywhere close to being an expert on Iran, I hope the regime change is peaceful. That there’s enough institutional power and political will for an inclusive process.

Also, bacon and potatoes are pretty filling. Know that for a fact from the post-soviet 1990s.

The non-stop gaslighting of Zelensky abt what Ukr can do for peace needs to stop. Let's be clear: Ru hasn't agreed to ANYTHING. The US is badgering Ukraine to offer concessions up front. There is zero commitment from Ru to stop the war if the Ukrainian army started retreating from Donbas tomorrow.

β€œLast year, more Americans moved to Germany than Germans moved to America. The same was true in Ireland, which welcomed 10,000 people from the U.S. in 2025, about double those who came in 2024.”

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in

In academic circles, the troubling trend has been a renewed and at times career-making affection for the imagined mystique of the β€œRussian soul.”

Yes dem oppo is a joke.

Color revolutions showed us how elections are real inflection points for large and long protests from regular citizens.

I keep hearing among U.S. political commentators about the complete unpredictability of what happens if elections are rigged.

As if the world doesn’t offer examples and there were no Euromaidan or color revolutions.

Why is study of this country’s political journey so self-centered and lonely?

Bad Bunny resonated with so many across the world, especially outside of the West. Something so relatable, so intimate about his way of performing. That child sleeping on chairs at a wedding is just one example β™₯️

Favorite take so far: "Bad Bunny is sooo kind to allow a football game during his concert"

Many thought this would happen the first year these two grabbed power. It was surprising to see the duo last for so long.

How a Country That’s Never Won a Medal Conquered the Winter Olympicsβ€”in Cashmere Mongolian athletes showed up to the Opening Ceremony wearing outfits inspired by a time when the country was busy raiding the world.

Mongolia is shining again in Olympic fashion!πŸ‡²πŸ‡³βœ¨

"the most stylish delegation in this global capital of fashion was the one wearing a cashmere collection inspired by warriors on horseback, nomads in yurts and the strength of history’s most sprawling empire."
