🚨 In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the state’s congressional redistricting referendum, restoring the previous congressional map.
The majority held that Democrats violated the Virginia Constitution by advancing the amendment after early voting had already begun in the intervening House of Delegates election.

You’re having a baby. You want an Arabic name. You Google “Arabic baby names” and get a list of 500 names with one-word translations.
But Arabic names aren’t just labels. They’re prayers. Every time someone calls your child’s name, they’re making a dua without even knowing it.
Here are some Arabic names and what they actually mean:
But Arabic names aren’t just labels. They’re prayers. Every time someone calls your child’s name, they’re making a dua without even knowing it.
Here are some Arabic names and what they actually mean:
Before you pick a name, understand how Arabic names work:
First name = a prayer for who they are
Middle name = a prayer for what they carry
Last name = the seal. A quality that closes the dua.
So when someone says the full name, they're speaking a complete prayer over your child.
Let's start with boys 👇

Middle name = a prayer for what they carry

Robert Brovdi, Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces:
A “symbolic” attack on Red Square would generate headlines around the world but says Ukraine will probably deliver a “slap in the face” where Russia’s air defences are weaker. 1/9

“Why waste drones on the ‘great wall’,” he said, referring to the enhanced security around Moscow. "If you hit the energy sector or military that’s the best strike, on the periphery.” 2/9
“Practically everything there [at Russia's Tuapse oil terminal] has burned." Putin spends 40% of his $530bn annual budget on the military and Brovdi estimates that 100m tonnes of Russian oil, worth $100bn, is exported each year from ports within range of his drones. 3/9
Back when "leftist" included Obama liberals, it was OK to call "Marxist" people who argued workers weren't inferior and that American imperialism was bad.
In 2026, with "multipolarity" and naked American barbarism, I'd expect a higher baseline/minimum.
I propose 2 key points.

Point 1:
The term "Proudhonism" maybe needs to be updated to refer to some modern figure, but at any rate clearly identified. And Marxists need to make it crystal clear that they are radically *opposed* to it.
This is essential. Proudhonism is an alluring, organic dead end.

This means understanding how "employer profit" is akin with "landlord rent" and "banker profit", and top concern.
"My landlord and the bank take 90% of my salary!"
No!
"Your employer takes 70% of your labour. Of the leftover 30, banker and landlord take 90. You keep 3%."

Arctic Frost was a full-throttle partisan federal dragnet targeting Republican-linked individuals and groups.
Senator @ChuckGrassley is uncovering it. @SenEricSchmitt delivered outstanding opening remarks during a recent Judiciary Committee hearing.

The biggest international news story (no one knows about) broke in May of 1981. A radio broadcaster named Mae Brussell broke it down in real-time. Like a savant she connects dots that will COMPLETELY change how you look at history: From Watergate to JFK to Jonestown.

(🧵1 of 9)
She reveals in her broadcast that news stories we all know individually: assassination of JFK, RFK, John Lennon, Bangladesh's and Ecuador's President, attempt on Reagan, King of Spain, and Pope John Paul II are actually all connected and occurred in rapid succession

She called it "A State WITHIN a State".
Mae Brussell did all this without the benefit of decades of retrospective research, like books written today. She did it AS it happened in May of 1981.
synthesizing tons of newspaper articles and dozens of books for us.

Athenian Sport or Two Thousand Paradoxes Merrily Argued To Amuse and Divert the Age by John Dunton, 1707
Athenian Sport or Two Thousand Paradoxes Merrily Argued To Amuse and Divert the Age by John Dunton, 1707
Paradoxes can be traced back to Zeno in ancient Greece, and Dunton’s work is arguably the culmination of the English paradox tradition which began with Donne, was furthered by Browne, and then reached its largest and most entertaining form in Dunton before quietly fading out
Dunton’s Sport contains 139 paradoxes (his subtitle of “2000” is hyperbolic) on all manner of serious and amusing subjects written in the characteristically witty and playful conversational English prose that I love.

so yesterday I shared that the Bears opponents had the fewest penalty yards called against them last year
678 penalty yards called on Bears opponents
the NFL average was 871
nearly 200 more
but apparently that's just the beginning
