JUST IN: Business schools are slashing MBA tuition by as much as 50% due to falling demand.

🚨 Perez - “Barcelona’s free kick on Sunday should NOT have counted. Rashford shot the ball into an area of the goal that Courtois could NOT reach. This is NOT FAIR”

Wow!

Lamine Yamal 🇵🇸 💙 ❤️ 💛

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran? Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

Why does Mary look younger than Jesus in Michelangelo's Pietà? The answer is one of the most beautiful in art history... Mary is holding the body of her 33 year old son, but she looks 20. Critics noticed it the moment the sculpture was unveiled in 1499. The mother of a man who has just been crucified would have been in her late forties or early fifties. Michelangelo had carved her as a girl. His own biographer, Ascanio Condivi, was the one who finally asked him why. The answer Michelangelo gave is preserved in Condivi's Life of Michelangelo and has been repeated for centuries: "Do you not know that chaste women stay fresh much more than those who are not chaste? How much more in the case of the Virgin, who had never experienced the least lascivious desire that might change her body?" Most modern critics treat this answer as a half-serious deflection. Michelangelo was famous for his sharp tongue and refused to explain himself to people he considered beneath his intellect. The deeper answer is older, and it lies inside one of the greatest poems ever written. In the final canto of Dante's Paradiso, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux begins his prayer to the Virgin with one of the most extraordinary lines in Italian literature: "Vergine madre, figlia del tuo figlio." "Virgin mother, daughter of your own son." Michelangelo, who knew Dante by heart, was carving that line into stone. Mary is younger than Jesus because Jesus is older than the universe... because she gave birth to her own creator. But there is another reading, simpler than either of those, and it is the one I find myself thinking of today. Every mother who has held her child has held them at every age at once. The infant is still inside the toddler. The toddler is still inside the teenager. The young man on her lap, even dead, is also the boy she nursed and the baby she first carried home. And maybe that's why Michelangelo did not carve Mary as the years had aged her. He carved her as love had kept her: outside of time, outside of grief, holding her son the way she had always held him... Happy Mother's Day. -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

The city was not designed for pedestrians. You can’t take walks alone or with your pets. The city has no public transportation system. It’s a city for politicians to stay away from the rubbish they have going on in the other 36 states.

“The Hail Mary repeated in the Holy Rosary is an act of love. Isn’t it precisely love to tirelessly repeat: ‘I love you’?” -Pope Leo XIV

Ben Shapiro said Tucker Carlson got more viewers by being a "clickwhore by embracing radical Islam." Yeah, all you have to do is say "I love radical Islam" and the viewers flock to you in America! Islam is such sexy clickbait. That's probably why Tucker is more popular than Ben!
