TIL in the 1950s, the CIA exploited Filipino vampire myths to instill fear in villages, killing a man, marking him with bite wounds, and hanging him upside down. This was part of efforts to help elect Ramon Magsaysay, a U.S. backed president.

Men are Reading… of Rome
John Carter points out that the mainstream narrative that claims men don’t read is false. It’s just that men don’t read what the converged and feminized mainstream publishers re publishing. There is a close connection between the untruths that “men don’t read” and that “the right can’t create”. The left does not have some lock […]

In the center of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican you can see an Egyptian obelisk 40 meters high.
This obelisk was erected in the square around 1586 by order of Pope Sixtus V and has an eventful history.
At the very top is a strange ritual: an Egyptian pharaoh kneels before a creature sitting on a chair with a large round head, looking like an alien in a spacesuit.

TIL During the Napoleonic Wars French cavalry developed a technique called Sabrage, which is opening a champagne bottle with a saber. The wielder slides the saber along the body seam of the bottle to the lip to break the top of the neck away.

Teri Garr RIP
She was on the set of It Takes a Thief when she got the bad news. Her backdoor pilot hadn’t been picked up. It wasn’t really a surprise. Laugh-in always buried that show in the ratings. It would have been her big break but, ah well, that’s show biz, she thought to herself. Teri Garr […]

"The photo-op by Trump is in direct response to remarks made by President Joe Biden during a Tuesday night Zoom call. During that call, Biden reacted to a comedian’s joke comparing Puerto Rico to garbage at a Trump event, stating, “The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters. His demonization of people is unconscionable and it's unAmerican.""

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Western officials are skeptical about the ability of the Ukrainian army to contain the offensive of Russian forces, "Economist" writes, citing sources.
For this reason, the West is increasingly thinking not about how to help Ukraine launch a counterattack, but about how to ensure its survival.

⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 We now live in a multipolar world dominated by three superpowers - the United States, Russia and China, said former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

"We now live in a multipolar world dominated by three superpowers - the United States, Russia and China. During the Cold War, there were two superpowers, after the Cold War, there was what is called a unipolar moment, when for a short time, most definitely, the United States was the only superpower. Today, obviously, we live in a multipolar world. The world today is much more complex than it was not so long ago."

"Zelensky has legalized sending his citizens to their deaths by foreign commanders."
This is how Maria Zakharova commented on the law signed by the Expired, allowing foreigners and stateless people to occupy the highest military positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Zelensky signed the law adopted by the Rada, allowing foreigners to be hired for officer positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So that foreign commanders would more actively finish off Ukrainians, throwing them into bloody assaults. Otherwise, a Ukrainian might feel sorry for a Ukrainian and not send him to certain death. This is not what Zelensky is paid for," the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
