Ronda Rousey: They say in screenwriting to write the story that you wanna see and I'm promoting the fight that I wanna see. #RouseyCarano

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

After 12 years of absence during the Orban rule, the Hungarian parliament raised the EU flag again. It is the latest sign that you should never surrender to populism or any other form of radicalism, even when the odds are against you. This is a decisive European victory.

Yeah sex is cool but have you ever crawled out of the worst depression of your life and got your spark back?

Kasparov: Putin’s state is a mafia estate. The war was profitable for elites, but no longer. Every refinery, oil terminal, and military plant hit by Ukraine is owned by someone, and those people are now losing billions, not just the state. 1/

A final word on Ted Turner from one of the loves of his life. What his former wife, and Oscar-winning actress, Jane Fonda once told me about his hidden legacy, and what she thinks awaits him in the afterlife:

@Scaramucci Anthony, you are the Trump Whisperer..

Trump's personality is simple once you understand it. You were nothing before I got here. I've carried you for twelve years and when I leave, you'll be nothing again. Two examples: 1. Cornyn - 35 years in the Senate, voted with Trump 99% of the time. The 1% he didn't — Trump dusted him. 2. Crenshaw - Lost his eye in combat serving this country, voted with Trump 99% of the time. The 1% he didn't — Trump endorsed his opponent. He lost the primary. And still people try to normalize this. People will tell you he'll want Vance or Rubio to succeed him because that's what a normal Republican would want. He doesn't want those guys succeeding him. He doesn't want them taking credit for anything. There's one spotlight in this administration and it points in one direction. To not understand that is to not understand Donald Trump.

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “Look at the sheer volume. The fact that people are still saying there is nothing to investigate—it’s just insane. To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

@thePumamama @amanpour God's not making anymore Ted Turners.. The man IS a classic & his number's been retired! His life, was a life well lived & he's left us with the bar set real high. Rest in peace Boss, Godspeed🌻

@amanpour Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so For those whom thou thinkest thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor canst thou kill me. -John Donne Godspeed Ted Turner 🙏🏼❤️

Ted Turner's advice to the young entrepreneurs of today: get into clean energy... and the classics. In 2015, he reflected on his extraordinary accomplishments -- and even recited one "inspirational" poem.

“Have faith,” Jesus tells us in the #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 14:1). That is the secret! It is precisely this faith that frees our hearts from the anxiety of possessing and acquiring, and from the illusion that we must pursue a position of prestige to have worth. Each person already has infinite worth in the mystery of God.

We are ALL FAILING this country. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office. He should have been removed before the war started. He is mentally unwell. Forget the Jesus pictures. Forget the Pope. We can go through hundreds of examples. The sane washing — pretending this is normal — that's just the surface problem. The real problem is that we have willing accomplices. What we have in America right now is a complete failure of political elites to execute on the constitutional system that was built specifically for this moment. We are all accomplices to this man's reckless behavior. -Every senator who stays quiet. -Every executive who writes the check. -Every commentator who normalizes it. He needs to be removed from office and he won't be.
