Fun fact: in #Polish, all cardinal directions have the same names as times of day. East is "wschód" which means "rise" (as in sunrise, "wschód słońca"), west is "zachód" — "set" (as in sunset, "zachód słońca"). North is "północ", lit. "midnight", and south is "południe", lit. "midday".
Apparently, the #English etymology is not so clear. "West" and "east" seem to unrecognizably stem from the words for evening and dawn. "South" seem to be related to "sun", whereas "north" to "to the left of the rising sun".

I was at a pizza place and they had the evening news on, and oh my god Adams coverage is so funny. "Trump threatens to flood NYC with ICE agents, we asked Eric Adams [blah blah blah]. Adams' deflected the question." "Trump also did [...]. Eric Adams once again deflected from the question."
This is worse than a lame duck elected. #FuckEricAdams
