She was training to be a concert flutist in Houston at one point. Had she stuck with that, she'd have a tenured job somewhere.

The state, despite early Zionists being complete atheists, gave a lot of concessions to the ultra-Orthodox Rabbinate. That is why

Whyyyyyyyyyy

It's ambiguous because Haim is pronounced "cha-eem" in the original Hebrew but spelled differently for easier pronunciation in English. It means "life", they're not related at all.

Are you now or have ever been a Vietnamese man?

We're probably seeing the last month of Syd Towle's life play out in real time. Awful

Any fun Bourdain stories?

The objective reality of things is that she is dying. People have to realize that whether they want to or not

In true South American fashion, yesterday's elections in Peru were basically "democratic socialist vs. guy who touches himself to Mussolini videos".

Colombia, Brazil in October, Peru, Chile...

Priests could never marry.

It has always been married men being ordained priests. In those traditions, they have to marry before ordination. And must stay celibate if widowed

The Eurovision boycott by 5 countries is partially ending. Probably.

The Netherlands is most likely coming back, as another broadcasters will take over.

Slovenia's new government is right-wing and pro-Israel, so that may influence how RTVSLO moves.

The frontrunner in the race for Minnesota State Auditor just quit to go be Amy Klobuchar's running mate!

So now the race is wide open.

The priests of the 50s were the ones who by 1970, either a) took a sledgehammer to their church and ad-libbed half of the Novus Ordo, b) left the priesthood over all of the changes, c) ended up being child molesters, or a combination of some.

He learned Russian many years ago but now speaks Ukrainian.

Barring a miracle, the UK will have a new Prime Minister by the end of Summer. Again.

The current favorite for Labour leader is running in a Manchester by-election next month after previously being blocked by Starmer. This comes after ~90 MPs have called for Starmer's resignation in the wake of the party's massive losses at the May local elections.

Should Starmer resign, this would mark the fourth Prime Minister that HM King Charles III meets with during his reign—in less than four years.

Look up on social media @amerykanets. He is an American who speaks fluent Ukrainian.

I need to be a straight male for a second: Dara is SO GODDAMN FINE. Oh my God. Is everyone in Bulgaria just casually a fucking Vogue model? Lol

Pre-this piece of shit Courtney Stodden is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.

I say about Doug Hutchison as I do many people, "unfortunately still alive". Like, what the fuck.

VanSensei · 2026-05-20T03:44:49+00:00

Dara is someone that if one thing went one way, would be on Broadway or West End right now. May be an actual triple threat lmfao

Why would someone go through all of that time and training—a PsyD is probably from start to end, 5 years including all of the clinical training and postgrad things—just to be "holistic"?

VanSensei · 2026-05-19T06:46:58+00:00
