"I still remember my two friends from school, Yaqeen and Qamar. They were not just classmates; they were a beautiful part of my childhood. We spent our days together — playing in the schoolyard, laughing over the smallest things, and sharing secrets that we believed would stay with us forever... I carry the memory of them in my heart. I carry their voices, their smiles, and the dreams they never had the chance to fulfill." -- @…

My only unpleasant encounter in France was with a taxi-driving vatnick who said that in his past life he visited Vilnius in the 1990s, how dangerous it was, and how beautiful modern-day Moscow is. I corrected him, pointing out that in the 1990s, Vilnius was under the siege of the Russian mafia, and with them gone, it is safer than Bordeaux. I agreed Moscow is indeed more beautiful when Ukrainian drones set fire to it.

One year after Donald Trump signed the law he dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on the South Lawn of the White House,
it has begun reshaping the country

The most consequential legislation of Trump’s second term reaches into nearly every corner of American life.
It supercharges immigration enforcement,
pouring billions into border security and deportations.
It rewrites student loan rules. …

Just finished "Seven Little Sons of the Dragon" by Ryoko Kui. As expected from the author of "Delicious in Dungeon", an excellent collection of short stories that are whimsical, profound, hilarious, and beautiful. Kui's characters even in the short form always have a little extra twist beyond what you'd expect. I think my favorite of these was the story about mermaids, both for its ambiguous depth and for the hilarious "Lone Wolf and Cub" shout-out.

The provision depriving Planned Parenthood was touted as a major victory for the anti-abortion movement when the bill was signed on July 4, 2025,

and Congress failed to renew it before their summer recess.
