Poor Lando 😭 no one included him in the celebration. You know who would have NEVER done that: Carlos Sainz. So fuck you Ferrari for ruining his race, you are the reason he wasn't on the podium with his boyfriend
Without restraint, Zongzhi is a gallant young man,
Like one of the jade trees standing in vernal breeze,*
Hurry and welcome Prince Wang @/WangYoushuo in a different kind of ancient costume look~
*Quote from "Songs of Eight Immortal Drinkers" by Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu
Please consider signing this petition. Eli Lilly, who you should already know and have a healthy amount of hatred for, are looking to build and have already broken ground on a new complex in Lebanon Indiana to increase their manufacturing capability for weight loss drugs. Their only problem thus far has been the acquisition of drinking water; not only do they intend to appropriate 700 million dollars from our state revolving fund, which is, at least in my opinion, a gross misuse of SRF funds, they intend to draw 100 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY of water from the White River watershed, which recharges many aquifers in northern Indiana and is already currently undergoing minor drought conditions. Eli Lilly is currently attempting to steer the controversy by dominating the conversation with budgetary talk, shifting focus away from concerns of water depletion. I know petitions get a bad rap, but one town has already withdrawn water support for the project, halting it; hopefully Lafayette can do the same if enough support is shown.
So long as we assume (as most people did) that composing poetry and quoting classical literature are the best guides to administrative talent, China can fairly be said to have developed the most rational selection processes for state service known to history.*
*When Britain reorganized its civil service in the 1880s it introduced self-consciously similar examinations, testing bright young men on their knowledge of Greek and Latin classics before sending them off to govern India, and even now British civil servants are still known as mandarins. Nineteenth-century conservatives saw exams as part of a sinister plot to "Chinesify" Britain.

Sometimes I want to get an official diagnosis on what’s wrong with me with a therapist but then I realised that I already have limited rights I don’t need more taken from me
Qiu Qiyuan does a great job on the uneven bars to win the silver medal 🥈!! It was a joy to watch her. I love how her coach stayed in position to spot her and catch her in case she fell through the entire routine. He's a very good coach and apparently cares a lot for these young women. I love that guy. I love watching Qiu, too. Great job!! 😍
i don´t think people who legitemately buy the idea that stalin was an incompetent idiot who won ww2 by pure chance understand just how bad the situation for the ussr was during ww2 and also for the decades before ww2
