Congratulations on this new venture! Samaritan Health is lucky to have you. I know I’ll miss seeing you at ASECS this year.

Mort de Loana, icône tragique de la téléréalité française

Gagnante du “Loft” en 2001, Loana Petrucciani a été retrouvée morte chez elle à Nice ce 25 mars 2026. Après son succès dans l’émission, elle avait vite été dépossédée de son image et fait les choux gras de la presse à scandale, avant de sombrer dans la dépression. Elle avait 48 ans.

Poor Loana. It’s been a harsh and bitter week for someone whose current understanding of France was shaped over a formative, five-year period stretching from 1997-2002.

Never.

At this point I kinda wanna see Timothee win just so he can spend his entire speech doubling down on his point about ballet and opera

Time your travel right and you might even avoid that fourth installment.

It would demonstrate that people left of center's judgment is poor as well. That they are not to be taken seriously.

I think it is good to send the message that nazi tattoos are a disqualifying factor in American leadership. In fact this was a baseline understanding up until only... well... now.

Tl;dr: Americans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. He is part of the broad wave of far right parties/politicians since 2008 across rich democracies. Our institutions just suck more.

Europeans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. See above.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

Athens people! Buvez! and Hendershots shuttering within a few months of each other—what is happening here? It’s gonna be all Chipotles from here on out.

An experience, huh? Explains why he can stop bombing people.

Ex æquo Simone Veil and Marie-Catherine Desjardins de Villedieu

That’s pretty much the theme of my French lit survey course this semester. Glad to see it’s thesis borne out in daily conversation.

Just living his best Quarter Zip life.

There have to be more than two Democrats in Maine who’d make viable Senate candidates.

After watching all 4 hours of Dhurandhar, I consider myself an expert on the Baloch.

Congratulations!

You win, America! This evening has been pretty cathartic.

I had no idea that my gneeration's greatest use would come in being able to tell people on the internet who Ricky Martin is

I mean, to be fair, popular music doesn’t really lend itself to conservatism, whereas fiction absolutely does.

Started out just before the 75 year window, but Mickey Spillane.

Draft Kings is evil and should not be given such a prominent role in this our national holiday.

Liliana Cavani’s When Harry Met Sally?

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
