An honor to sit with people’s grief.
The flood that killed 27 girls at Camp Mystic last year also drowned nearly a hundred others in the Texas Hill Country, including numerous members of the local Hispanic community.

My prediction is that this stupid Katy Perry vs. Wendy's thing is going to result in her starring in a Super Bowl commercial for Wendy's next year where she gets left in space

The stock market is down but at least everything is more expensive and services are getting shittier. On the other hand we have more measles. To be fair, they are finally delivering the reductions in FAA and National Parks staff that people have been demanding.

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started.
It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.

For three years Australia has proudly supported the brave people of Ukraine in their struggle to defend their sovereignty against the brutality of Russian aggression and in support of international law.
Australia stands with Ukraine. 🇦🇺🇺🇦

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.
Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.
