There is a long tradition in European art of portraying happiness, few paintings I looked at this morning gave me as much joy as Albert Marquet's 'La promenade aux Sables d'Olonne,' painted in 1933.

Coco's response to Aryna's post-match comments is about as good as you could ask for. Essentially, "I played the best player in the world and won. Anybody else (not just Iga) would have been an easier assignment." #rolandgarros #cocogauff

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

So Amy only seems nicer. "She cast the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. She has consistently voted with her conservative colleagues on cases involving religious freedom, capital punishment, and affirmative action."

Remember all those law firms that struck a deal with Trump? It’s not totally working out for them. At least 11 large companies—including Morgan Stanley and Microsoft—are cutting ties with law firms that caved to Trump’s threats of political retribution. https://trib.al/75a9wU3

"Is America Really Better Off if Bubonic Plague Returns? We ask experts for their views." Someone chose this as a headline. Thinking it "edgy" or "clever." That someone, whose name we don't know, is an editor at most influential US news org. May well have "gone to school in the Boston area."

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life

Dear Canada: No matter the outcome, I love you. I hope you aren't making the mistake our country did, but I know too many amazing Canadians to believe in anything other than in the goodness of our neighbours to the north.

The pope’s unadorned tomb, marked by a single Latin word — Franciscus — was intended, a cleric said, to reflect a life of “simplicity and essential things.” The requiem Mass was a solemn spectacle of an ancient faith, an elaborate, multilingual ceremony.
