This is absolutely insane, must-watch clip.
Boris Sanchez confronts DSA's top leader, Ashik Siddique, over the organization's lauding of Cuba, telling the story of his anti-Batista grandfather later being imprisoned by Castro.
Siddique is so shaken he can't form a response.

CLUB STATEMENT
The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star.
After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police.
Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated.
Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse.
The club considers the matter closed.

On rit du fait que les femmes préfèrent les vampires à l'Histoire...
Mais cette préférence cache une réalité moins drôle, qui explique pourquoi les sociétés féminisées ne progressent plus : elles régressent.
Déjà, cette réalité est documentée. Les femmes représentent +80% du marché de la fiction (Nielsen Books & Consumer Tracker). La non-fiction (histoire, politique, économie) est toujours en tête chez les hommes.
Derrière ces attraits différents se cachent ensuite deux réalités :
Une masculine, qui a moins de mal à concevoir le temps abstrait et dépersonnalisé. C'est-à-dire à se projeter sur deux temporalités qu'il ne connaîtra jamais : le futur lointain et le passé lointain.
S'intéresser aux morts inconnus d'hier et aux non-nés de demain, c'est le propre de l'homme.
C'est ce qui permet d'envisager l'arc civilisationnel complet : d'où l'on vient, et où on va. C'est retracer les chaînes causales qui lient tous les êtres entre eux.
Ça, les femmes aiment moins. Cet attrait lointain pour ce qui n'existe plus et ce qui n'existe pas encore leur semble être une bizarrerie.
Et c'est normal, la temporalité de la femme est celle du temps personnel et du temps incarné. Ce sont ses proches, ses enfants, sa lignée directe, sa vie.
Elle se projette elle aussi, mais toujours le long d'une chaîne de visages qu'elle pourra connaître personnellement, des grands parents qu'elle a connus aux petits enfants qu'elle connaîtra. Rarement au delà.
C'est pour cela que les femmes sont plus réalistes, plus connectées au réel que les hommes sur certains sujets, et qu'elles ne comprennent pas pourquoi les hommes le sont moins.
C'est aussi pour cela qu'elles vivent plus intensément les relations, leurs émotions et leur vie en général : elles sont hyperfocalisées sur une temporalité bien plus restreinte que celle de l'homme.
C'est, enfin, pourquoi la non-fiction historique, économique, politique ou encore prospectiviste ne les intéresse pas. Elles préfèrent la fiction, celle qui résonne avec l'intensité de leur rapport au monde.
C'est un avantage à bien des égards. Mais un énorme défaut pour la société dans son ensemble.
Une société qui favorise la temporalité féminine (le proche, le vivant, l'incarné) est une société qui ne saura faire que du surplace, puis rapidement régresser.
Elle oubliera d'où elle vient, et ce qu'a coûté le chemin jusqu'à nous. Et où elle va, et l'effort qu'exige tout progrès.

The Romans overcame the Phallanx with Maniples — smaller groups of 100+ men in a checkerboard formation. The phalanx required a solid, unbroken line to be effective. On hills, marshes, or broken ground it broke into gaps
• Maniples, with their smaller size and spaced arrangement, could navigate such terrain, slipping into those gaps to disrupt the phalanx’s cohesion.
• Flanking and Disruption: by the checkerboard layout allowed maniples to advance, retreat, or shift laterally without collapsing the entire line. If the phalanx extended its front to cover the gaps, it risked thinning out; if it didn’t, Roman soldiers could outflank it.
• Once the phalanx’s formation broke due to terrain or a pushed-back section—Roman troops with their gladii could close in, exploiting the now-vulnerable spearmen who couldn’t maneuver their sarissas effectively in close combat.

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,
My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.
On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.
For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.
So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.
This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.
You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.
Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.
This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

Pete Alonso using his Polar Bear Strength to help Lindor get the donut off his bat is one of the reasons I never want to see him in another team’s uniform! Pete is so wonderfully Mets (and he’ll be the franchise’s all-time home run leader before long, too)

Friends, wondering if I could have a moment of your time and ask you to please share this.
In 2022, many of you likely saw this image coming out of Iran during the Women, Life, Freedom uprisings.
While protesting for women’s rights and an end to the regime, Mersedeh Shahinkar was intentionally blinded by Islamic Republic of Iran authorities.
Sadly, this cruelty wasn’t limited to her—they inflicted blindness on many other innocent Iranians who were simply protesting for women’s rights and an end to the regime.
Since they subjected Mersedeh to this horrific treatment, she has had to undergo three surgeries in Iran before fleeing to save her life and the life of her 12-year-old daughter.
Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia is covering all of Mersedeh’s medical expenses, but she and her daughter need support for their other expenses while she rebuilds her life.
Mersedeh put her life on the line for freedom, and I would be so grateful if you would take a look at her GoFundMe below and consider making a contribution.
And a big thank you to my friends at @gofundme for verifying her fundraiser!
