Just finished reading Hemingway’s FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and I had to stop and take a picture when I got to the famous line about the United States:

C.S. Lewis, what a line

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it." - Roald Dahl

A trip on the Labrador Island Link has caused an underfrequency load shed, which has resulted in power interruption for customers in areas across the island. The process of restoring customers has begun, we apologize for the inconvenience today and appreciate your patience as we gradually bring power back on to those affected.

This is like a chapter out of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of Rome.

This is something else.

Poor guy is just exhausted. He’s spent. Empty vessel. Gonzo. Vacant.

It is a lonely job being the USA ambassador to Denmark these days. Previous USA ambassadors were treated like rock stars and were very popular in Denmark which has always been a very pro-American country. But that is over now. The current ambassador, Ken Howery, @USAmbDenmark was sent to Denmark last year accompanied by a message from Trump that his job is to secure U.S. control over Greenland. He keeps posting BS on social media about how he wants to deepen ties between Denmark and the USA. But you have to choose. You can't both try to take Greenland and have good relations with Denmark. As a result, he is treated like the enemy that he is, and nobody wants to socialize with him. A Danish newspaper recently spotted him going undercover as a Danish football fan at a carnival. He has to dress up and hide like this to be able to go out and be among the Danes.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV's message of unity and compassion continues to inspire hope and change across the globe. During our conversation today, I thanked His Holiness for his efforts to return Indigenous artefacts from the Vatican Museums, and we discussed the urgent need for humanitarian aid and peace in regions of conflict. We also focused on the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence and ensuring it serves all humanity — with the protection of the individual being paramount as we adopt and scale this technology.

Insane footage published over the weekend by CFSW Ukraine shows the successful interception of a Russian Kh-101 Air-Launched Cruise Missile by the Ukrainian Air Force, with the missile losing control and crashing onto an empty tennis court in the suburbs of Kyiv.
