@KnausgaardFacts New York would not be possible in any other country. That kind of dynamic, multi-cultural city could only be forged in the melting pot and adventurous, ambitious culture that is the United States. It is the very best of the U.S., which is why it is so iconic.
@DaveBorges I clearly misread this. For some reason, I got mixed up and thought Ross was starting. Let’s hope they don’t have another slow start with Ball in the lineup or it’s going to be a long night.
@DaveBorges God, I hope so. Ross deserves it, and he gives them length, athleticism, and defense that Ball simply doesn’t have. Plus he can shoot the rock. This is the lineup that can win the Huskies another championship.
@Intrepi03254812@Red_Rock_Auto@FurkanGozukara That’s exactly what I was getting at - instead of the slow decline, we get the seismic change. And because the U.S. has almost burned its alliances to the ground lately and the EU has zero interest in being dragged into this war, there won’t be much help from that quarter.
@ValR1821@Red_Rock_Auto@FurkanGozukara Exactly. China would just nuke the US and be no.1 in 2026 instead of going the gradual 50 year cycle to becoming the hegemon
Absolute panic in Washington. Marco Rubio whines that Iran is planning to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz and charge a toll. He admits the US is powerless to stop it alone and begs the rest of the world to step in. Iran has completely outsmarted the American empire.
@BetMGM The 90s. Although I did not go to UConn, I grew up in CT and I still root for them (sadly, my Ivy League school only occasionally makes it to the tournament). It’s an indescribable feeling to watch a program you root for win its first national championship (both men and women).
Column: The Power 4 schools have tried to marginalize the Big East, treat it like a confederacy of mid-majors that isn’t what it once was. St. John’s & UConn have a chance to team up & teach the Power 4 a lesson Friday: THESE are the good old days. nypost.com/2026/03/26/spo…
@Red_Rock_Auto@FurkanGozukara This isn’t a Rambo movie. This is textbook asymmetric warfare. If the U.S. goes nuclear, it blows up the entire world order and potentially starts WWIII. The last time we had a World War, it was the US which emerged as the hegemon. That isn’t likely to happen again this time.
@FurkanGozukara You realize we could just take them off the face of the planet right? There is nothing stopping the US from controlling everything they have if we want..
@FurkanGozukara Is it that surprising? The Iranians have been playing chess since the seventh century, and they aren’t dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed here. The administration got cocky, committed their queen early (to continue the chess analogy), and now they are paying for it.
@LisaPurdue2@mattmfm If ICE was already funded, then why did Republicans attempt to tie funding for TSA to funding for ICE? Do you even hear yourself? This is all on them.
While you were sleeping, the Senate unanimously passed what Democrats pushed for over a month: fund TSA and other essential agencies but withhold funding for ICE until there’s substantial reform.
Republicans made America suffer for nothing.
I have a secret to share
After your first $2–$3 million, a paid off home and a good car, there is no difference in quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos. Both of you have limited amount of time on earth; you have twice if not more than Jeff, so you are richer than him. A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger whether a billionaire eats or you do.
Money is nothing but a piece of paper or a number in your app. Real life is outdoors.
Become financially independent; that’s usually 2–3mil. Have good food. Enjoy the relations. Workout. Sleep well. Call your parents. That’s all there is to life. Greed has no end.
Repeat after me: Time is the currency of life. Money is not.
Sooner you figure this out, happier you will be.
@DaveBorges@BigLarryBabyArm If we win a natty, Solo will be a huge part of that. He can easily get hot. Keep shooting and don’t bench the kid. He’s world class when he’s right. Hes going to go scorched earth on someone.
It’s easy for fans to simply shout “bench him!” Coaches have to balance loyalty to a player and boosting his confidence while also doing what’s best for the team.
Don’t expect Solo Ball to be benched any time soon.

@Obstacle_42@nypost@PlakoudasSpyros My father worked at a farm there during the summers when he was in high school. When I was a kid he took us to visit his old boss - I’ll never forget the smell of the peaches as we approached. I picked one straight off a tree and it was the best damn peach I’ve ever had. Υπέροχο.
@nypost@PlakoudasSpyros Try to be there in the summer and eat peaches directly from the trees. It's completely unrelated to the thing you get in northern supermarkets.
Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers.
Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job.
"She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!"
Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools.
The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco.
"Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains.
"I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it."
At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart."
The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.
