This is Pea. He gives high fives like this because he is small. 12/10 (IG: wandoo._.pea)

STEWART: โ€œI feel like Iโ€™m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite โ€” theyโ€™re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.โ€

Lost my Aunt 8 years ago today. Still really havenโ€™t recovered. Some days Iโ€™ll see or hear things that make me think sheโ€™s there. Makes you wonder whatโ€™s coincidence and whatโ€™s not.

Experts agree: The concentration camps in El Salvador, Florida, and elsewhere would violate international law, if international law existed.

'Pony up' has nothing to do with horses.

It probably comes from the Latin phrase โ€˜legem pone,โ€™ found in Psalm 119 of the Bible.

It essentially meant โ€œmoney downโ€ and was invoked on March 25, which was the first payday of the year and the date when debts were settled.

Sometimes you see articles about child math prodigies that turn out to be them proving an aesthetically pleasing but useless bit of trivia, but this looks like the first case (since Tao?) of a 17-year old girl solving a major open problem in a single author paper english.elpais.com/science-tech...
