Does the contrast of ‘suffering’ make remembering more potent? ☯️🌞

Only if we choose to focus on it 🫂

If we accept that ‘suffering’ is just part of life, we can then focus on joy and boost our happy memories 🤩

Wen you get found out that you're not cool and young and have to google, and are still none the wiser 😂

It’s the pronunciation!

I’ve met quite a few Nguyens over the years so I got the reference and giggled.

From google:

Southern Vietnamese tend to clip some of their sounds, so Nguyen would be pronounced something like “Win” or “Wen.” Northern Vietnamese would keep it, giving a pronunciation more like “N'Win” or “Nuh'Win,” all done as best you can in one syllable

Now you can giggle too 🙂

It’s tough feeling like stumbling for words sometimes the day after, just have to take it easy and pace myself. It’s like a migraine in that “brain fog” way

Thank you so much. I’m doing a bit better now. Just a very rough start / first half of the day

I can’t even imagine how you must feel!

I can only begin to relate your experience with the day after a migraine, where my brain seems to become slow and foggy, and that’s bad enough! I’m guessing that it would be so much harder and more complicated dealing with a seizure.

Take care today.

Priority you! 🫂💜

According to the Wall Street Journal, Putin may be willing to halt technological and military cooperation with China in exchange for control over Ukraine. As an additional bargaining chip, he would offer Trump easier access to Ukrainian minerals. If true, this deal could explain Trump’s aggressive stance toward Zelensky.

Every US ally is watching this play out…

Tough nite had a seizure but then I guess slept thru the nite but you’ll have to bear w me bc my brain feels like potato soup

War Monitor

The violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum—through which Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for U.S. protection and Russia’s guarantee of non-invasion—along with the U.S.’s recent shift toward aligning with Russia, has reinforced two crucial lessons: never rely on others for your security, and the only weapon capable of stopping a mad expansionist is a nuclear one.

It’s interesting to note that this narrative is missing from mainstream media. Why is this not plastered all over it?

Both Russia and the US are in breach of this agreement.

hope they check the gold is real too

😂 Thanks for the mental image of Elon getting his keys out of his pocket and scratching the surface of the nearest gold bar, taking a photo, posting it on X, then directing someone else to scratch the surface of every gold bar, just in case, and Elon posting on X throughout about how much harder he works than everyone else in government.

She says the files are being reviewed as directed by President Trump, alongside the JFK files.

Should these files be reviewed first or released immediately?

I believe it was mainly because of the East India companies monopoly on tea imports from China and India.

This is what Gemini has to say:

Tea's rise to become the UK's national drink is a fascinating story with several contributing factors:

Royal Endorsement: In the 17th century, Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II, popularized tea drinking among the upper classes. This royal approval helped establish tea as a fashionable beverage.

East India Company's Monopoly: The East India Company held a monopoly on tea imports, making it a readily available commodity in Britain compared to other European countries.

Lower Taxes: Compared to other beverages like beer and gin, tea had lower taxes, making it an affordable option for the working class.

Social Rituals: Tea drinking became ingrained in British social culture, with the development of traditions like afternoon tea and tea breaks.

Health Benefits: Tea was initially believed to have medicinal properties, further boosting its appeal.

These factors, combined with clever marketing and the drink's refreshing and stimulating qualities, solidified tea's position as the UK's favorite beverage.
