I thank His Majesty King Charles III @RoyalFamily, the United Kingdom, and all valiant American hearts for this clarion call for unity in support of Ukraine across the Atlantic. This is exactly what is needed to bring dignified and lasting peace to Ukraine and all of Europe. The people of Ukraine deeply appreciate all the support provided by the United Kingdom and the United States. Thank you.

King Charles III: In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the UNSC was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century. Shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.

A brilliant speech to Congress today by HM The King.
Many said they felt it lifted their spirits and unified them. It was profound, funny, moving and, above all, truthful. Couldn’t be prouder of our nation and their Majesties tonight. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 @RoyalFamily

Before Monty Python's "Life of Brian" became a classic, @JohnCleese told me it was radioactive. No studio wanted to touch it.
Enter George Harrison, who had the means, taste, and spine to make sure it existed. Free expression and comedy need that courage.

She was born into absolute power—and spent most of her life locked away from it. Joanna of Castile, later branded “Joanna the Mad,” entered the world on November 6, 1479, as the daughter of two of Europe’s most formidable rulers, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. This was the dynasty that unified Spain, and Joanna was meant to carry that legacy forward—not be written out of it.
At just 16, she was married to Philip the Handsome, a Habsburg prince whose charm quickly turned into cruelty. Joanna fell deeply in love with him, but he was openly unfaithful, humiliating her in court after court. Her emotional reactions—jealousy, rage, heartbreak—became gossip, then reputation, then something far more dangerous. She was labeled unstable, dramatic, unfit. And in a royal court, that label could cost you everything.
Then fate shifted brutally in her favor. One by one, her older siblings died, and Joanna suddenly became the heir to Castile. When her mother died in 1504, Joanna became queen. But instead of stepping into power, she found herself surrounded by men who had every reason to take it from her. Her husband moved quickly to control her authority, ruling in her name. Then, in 1506, he died suddenly under mysterious circumstances—leaving Joanna at the center of both grief and suspicion.
What happened next became one of the most infamous stories in royal history. Joanna reportedly refused to be separated from Philip’s body, traveling with his coffin across Spain, opening it, staying near it, insisting he still belonged to her. It’s the detail history loves to repeat—but it’s also the detail that sealed her fate. Whether it was grief, trauma, or something exaggerated for political gain, it gave her enemies exactly what they needed.
Her father declared her mentally unfit and had her confined. Not briefly—permanently. And when her son, the future Emperor Charles V, rose to power, he did nothing to free her. Instead, he continued her imprisonment, ruling as king while Joanna remained the legal queen in name only. For nearly 50 years, she lived in isolation, cut off from the world she was born to rule.
She died in 1555, still a queen on paper—but a prisoner in reality. And centuries later, the question still lingers: was she truly “mad,” or was she a powerful woman surrounded by men who needed her to be? Save this—because stories like hers aren’t just history, they’re warnings. And tell me… do you think she was unstable, or silenced?
