Becoase life don't have a higher meaning, the best strategy is to maximize the experience.

Russian Forces drop mines from UAVs on the public roads in Ukrainian cities.

The mines are disguised as normal things you can find on the road randomly. The magnet trigger detonates the warhead when cars pass by.

90s & 2000s Internet culture was filled w/ ppl playing w/ the idea that 90% of reality is perception & that thus if you alter perception, you change the world.

Russian strike hit a prayer home in Zaporizhzhia.

One killed, three injured.

Russia keeps saying it wages the war to protect the Orthodoxy. That's its "protection."

President Zelenskyy asked for a minute of silence to honor the memory of those killed by Russia in the most recent attack as he was receiving the Four Freedoms Awards on behalf of the Ukrainian people:

Today in Ukraine is another very hard day,really hard night.The day after a massive Russ.attack

While Russia strikes Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine continues decreasing Russia's economic potential to wage a war.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Anne Applebaum C @anneapplebaum X.com Read this thread Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here. Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years,

Bogata Timár @BogataTimar 9h I don't know if you've noticed, but the guy just rid us from Orbán. You know what it takes to win an election against Orbán? It's not just making a party and campaigning. The rules were massively rigged. Hungary was gerrymandered to oblivion. The regime played dirty. • 15 17382 0 4.9K il 237K 贝 X 仚 Bogata Timár @BogataTimar• 9h Magyar was harrassed and provoked constantly. His phone was tapped with military spy software. His girlfriend turned out to be a Fidesz agent. Al slop was generated about him and fed to voters on the daily. Russian agents helped create smear campaigns against him. • 11| 17335 © 4.4K il 221K 仚 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar• 9h O... His movement was infested with spies. State security were deployed to break down his IT system and perform data leaks. His supporters were harrassed. The entire country was flooded with billboards spreading lies about him. He was threatened with a leaked sex tape. Never wavered.

Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h In 2 years he has visited 327 towns, 517 times, visited 161 parishes of the 174, always went to the crowd, always shook hands, always took selfies. He often managed to visit 6 or even 9 towns in one day. Almost every day he was out with the people, telling them not to fear. • 5 17326 O 4.7K thl 217K G... Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h O... He showed people all the good that is in Hungary. He inspired them to start talking to each other. After 16 miserable years of being told they do not belong, people started feeling pride for their homeland again. That one can be a proud Hungarian and reject Orbán's mess. L7252 O4.5K ill 192K Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar • 9h G... If you don't care to see how Hungarians now cry on each other's shoulders, sing patriotic songs in crowded subway cars, honk the horns while wave the flags, proudly for the first time maybe ever, I don't know what to tell you. This is a watershed moment. And Magyar took us here.

Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar 9h Is he a center-right, conservative person? Yes, and? Nobody cares. He believes in a democratic state and the rule of law, and his job is to take Hungary back there. He has declared he does not care what one believes in, or whom one loves, as long as they love Hungary. 0 20 {7408 • 5.5K il 189K O... 企 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h O... He's just given his very first press conference. He's not even PM yet. He has opinions and agendas, because he's a politician. He will further discuss them when the time comes. The fact that he was up there for 3 hous giving answers to actual questions is already a miracle to us. 04 LY 203 O4.5K thl 182K 贝 企 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h Anyways. I'm glad you have learned his name. Its correct pronunciation is PEEter MAdjar. Extra points for saying the surname first. We will have plenty of time to pick his policies apart. But I'd like you to be aware that what he's done is for the history books.

Virginia’s new law ends state tax breaks for several Confederate‐affiliated heritage groups, mainly because lawmakers say public money should not subsidize organizations that promote a legacy tied to slavery, white supremacy, and ongoing racial inequity. #pinks

New California governor's race poll shows Becerra emerging after Swalwell's exit The non-partisan Emerson College Poll shows while many of the candidates remain clustered, one has risen from virtual obscurity to one of the front runners.

This polls, taken after Swalwell dropped out, shows the two Republican candidates still in the lead. That means we are still in danger of Republicans locking Democrats entirely of the governor's race. If they come in at 1st and 2nd place in the primary, it would mean two Republicans in the general.
