Hey man, me and the guys weren't sure how to say this, but you just haven't been the same since you started those anti-psychotics. You used to be fun, and cool, and spontaneous. Now? You've lost your spark, dude. They stole your spark. And we all noticed, and like you a lot less.

Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates. She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range. The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.

Father Andrii Stebivka, a priest of the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo, was forcibly detained by recruitment officers and taken to a military training camp from where he could potentially be sent to the front lines of the war with Russia, his family stated. The incident took place on Oct. 12 at a checkpoint in the Rivne region of northwestern Ukraine. The 38-year-old priest, who was ordained two years ago, was returning from participating in a spiritual retreat, according to his parents, Bohdan and Natalia Stebivka. Stebivka was recently transferred to a different parish, but administrative delays inherent in this change of pastoral assignment created a temporary gap in the state registry that formally certifies the pastoral work and ministerial service of priests in Ukraine. Despite repeated efforts to provide proof of his active clergy status and ongoing pastoral service to the faithful, recruitment authorities rejected his documentation and sent him to a military training center. According to his family, he has already been assigned to a special assault unit and is expected to enter combat in the near future. The bishop of the Eparchy of Mukachevo, Teodor Matsapula, and the apostolic nunciature in Ukraine are taking formal steps with government authorities to clarify the priest’s status and secure his reinstatement to his parish duties. So far, these requests have gone unanswered. Stebivka, who was ordained a priest in June 2024 at the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is also noted for his artistic work as an iconographer. Throughout his ministry, he has created sacred compositions and apse murals in churches in Dublin, Boston, and various Ukrainian cities, such as Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Rivne, and Uzhhorod. Faced with the imminent risk of being sent to the battlefield, the priest’s parents have made a public appeal to civil, military, and diplomatic authorities, requesting that the pastoral nature of his vocation be recognized and that he be permitted to continue carrying out his priestly ministry in Mukachevo.

If he really was the Messiah, all the more reason to crucify him. I don't want a king.

OK, I actually think this could work.

Oct 21, 1797. Boston. Sixteen years after Yorktown, the young United States launches the warship that would become the most famous in its history. And it was built by the generation that won the Revolution. After the war ended, the country got rid of its navy. The Continental Navy's last ship was sold off in 1785. For nearly a decade the United States had no warships at all. That turned out to be a mistake. Pirates from the Barbary states of North Africa started seizing American merchant ships in the Mediterranean and holding American sailors for ransom. The Royal Navy had protected colonial ships before the war. Now nobody did. So in 1794 Congress passed the Naval Act and ordered six new frigates built. They were designed by Joshua Humphreys of Philadelphia to be bigger, stronger, and more heavily armed than any ordinary frigate in the world, but fast enough to outrun anything bigger. One of them was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in Boston, where Revolutionary War veterans and Boston's best craftsmen worked on her. Her hull was made largely of live oak from the coast of Georgia, a wood so dense and hard that it would later make her famous. Paul Revere, the old silversmith and patriot, supplied copper fittings from his foundry. Getting her into the water wasn't easy. The first attempt to launch her in September 1797 failed. She slid a short way down the ramp and stuck. A second try failed too. On Oct 21 she finally slid into Boston Harbor. Her name was Constitution, after the document the country had adopted ten years earlier. In the War of 1812 she fought the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia. Sailors watching British cannonballs bounce off her thick oak hull reportedly shouted that her sides were made of iron. She's been called Old Ironsides ever since. She's still afloat today in Boston, the oldest commissioned warship in the world still able to sail. The Revolution's sons built her, and she's outlasted every one of them.

The way Napoleon’s mind operated is something i think people should study a lot more. he once described his head was organized “like a cupboard,” with a drawer for every subject. to switch from war to law, he’d close one drawer and open another, and said the two never mixed. to sleep, he’d shut them all and was out in minutes. witnesses say he could nap during a battle and come to fully alert. he took long scalding baths while a secretary read him the news, dictating replies from the tub so fast his staff had to invent their own shorthand to keep pace. he helped shape France’s Civil Code at night sessions that ran past midnight, arguing with career jurists despite having no legal training, and when his advisers dozed off at 2am, he told them to get up and earn the money the French people paid them. even some of his harshest critics like Taine couldn’t write about him without describing his brilliance.

need him bad what the fuck

Every time I see this I'm reminded the reason they put "high" is because there's a weird gap where women with exactly 3 premarital partners other than the marital partner actually had virtually exactly the same happiness as virgins What is the man sphere explanation for this
