A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility,
the people of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion.
Suleiman Kagara, a resident of this quiet and predominantly Muslim farming community in Tambuwal district of Sokoto state, told CNN he heard a loud blast and saw flames as a projectile flew overhead at around 10 p.m. on Thursday.
Soon after, it came crashing down, expl…

Damn, New Jersey…
“Panic is the appropriate response to the passage and signing of a new law in New Jersey that requires all e-bike riders 17 and older to have driver’s licenses, registration and insurance (which may not even be available and proof of which they must carry with them while riding) and wear a state-approved motorcycle helmet.”

"Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland."

Care - paying real attention
Clarity - seeing what matters
Curiosity - asking deeper questions

💥2000 meters to Andriivka
The closer you get to combat, the more jarring it becomes.
Death comes randomly.
The noise is terrifying;
the fear is stifling.
And most people can’t bear to see what war actually does to the human body
—how a brief instant can transform a living, breathing person
into ugly scraps of flesh.
The fighting in Ukraine has, in many ways,
transformed the nature of warfare.
As many as 80 percent of battle casu…
