The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

How Trump’s ‘God Squad’ Could Devastate Endangered Species Along Texas’ Gulf Coast If left intact, the exemption for oil and gas companies in the Gulf of Mexico could forever harm vulnerable species and their habitats.

“The decision … is not going to result in any more oil production; it’s not going to result in lower gas prices. It will result in real harm and the potential extinction of one or more species in the Gulf.”

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), who is staunchly pro-life as a legislator, pressured his mistress into having an abortion, but it's OK because he also pressured his ex-wife into having two abortions.

The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4.

How Silicon Valley Humiliated the Democrats When will they learn? The party remains far too solicitous of an industry that’s rewarded their fealty with four years of Trump and untold damage to democracy.

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

In case it isn't already obvious, pushing teenagers to have babies is about

omg those were the three things I worried about as a child back in the 70s

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist
