Less than three hours after the polls closed, Viktor Orban conceded that he lost. Five years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he still falsely claims that he won. Tomorrow, I offer my analysis of what this means for the midterms. Subscribe now.…

The single-edged bladed sax was a prevalent weapon during the Merovingian period.

This one was found in the grave of a young boy, approximately 6-8 years of age, along with its scabbard.

The deceased was also buried with a sword, shield, and lance, indicating the high social status of his family.

From Lauchheim, around 600 AD.

On display at Archäologisches Landemuseum Baden-Wßrttemberg

An Iranian man left this comment on a YouTube channel.
"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions. 1/

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. 3/

Trump attacks the Pope in a Truth Social rant, calling him “weak” and attacking his views on foreign policy, Iran, and even his legitimacy as pontiff—claiming he wouldn’t be Pope if Trump weren’t president.
