The first two weeks of the Russian invasion have been deadly for all parties involved. Putin is likely surprised and angry about the Ukrainian army’s heroic resistance and his own military’s bumbling performance. While exact numbers are hard to verify, hundreds, if not thousands, of Russian troops have died on the battlefield. Russia’s dependence on large convoys and armor have provided Ukrainian soldiers with targets of opportunity, even more so when the tanks and personnel carriers are stuck in the mud or out of gas....

So when the call came–from the same friend who had informed me two months ago that the World Trade Center, visible from my window, was on fire–I could hear in her voice that something was very wrong. It’s a tone of voice that New Yorkers–once so unshakeable–are hearing more and more. “There’s another plane crash!” she screamed, practically sobbing, the same voice she used two months ago after the second plane hit and confirmed that the first plane was no accident....

That may not sound like the best way to determine the president’s vulnerability–after all, summer blockbusters typically concern themselves with high body counts rather than high approval ratings–but this time, the summer blockbuster is “The Day After Tomorrow,” a rabidly pro-environment, anti-Bush lecture released by Twentieth Century Fox. Let’s put that another way: when conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch releases a movie that depicts President Bush as little more than a vapid pawn of Vice President Dick Cheney and decries him for, of all things, his environmental policies, you know the president is in trouble....

Husam El-Qoulaq told Fox 5: “I can’t really begin to describe how it feels to have lost 22 members of our extended family.” Relatives killed during the fighting reportedly included Qusai Sameh Fawaz al-Kolak, a six-month-old baby, Adam Izat Muin al-Kolak, aged three, and Rula Muhammad Muin al-Kolak, who was six. The others who died ranged in age from eight to 90 and extended to four generations. “Taher was 23 and had just graduated in engineering,” he said, recounting the personal story of just one of the victims....

In 2008, the pair had set the Guinness World Record for the longest rally of 25,944 consecutive strokes without a miss in 14 hours and 31 minutes. It was later broken by the German pair of Frank and Dennis Fuhrmann in 2013, who reached a record rally of 50,970. This time, the American pair did manage to better their previous record, as they went on to hit 30,579 strokes in a row, with Ettore hitting the net after 5 hours and 28 minutes....

Such foods are associated with higher risk of several chronic diseases, and a scientist involved with the research thinks the increased intake of ultra-processed foods may be driving obesity. Processed food refers to any food that has been changed from its natural state, such as by adding salt, sugar, or other substances. Some foods are more processed than others and thus fall into the ultra-processed category.

Some LGBTQ+ advocates say the report is reflective of a larger “organized national attack on LGBTQ youth.” Book bans have been on the rise in the U.S. over the last few years, according to the report PEN America released on Monday. While some data indicates classroom censorship efforts have increased by about 250 percent over the last year, the trend appears to be widespread, with the American Library Association reporting an “unprecedented” number of book ban requests in 2021....

Much of the criticism was due to Bella Poarch’s overall persona. Unlike most of the other people participating in the tournament, Bella was a ‘non-gamer’. However, as 4Conner found out, there are other reasons for the criticism as well. Apart from her non-gaming background, she appeared to not know how to play Among Us.

As abortion rights continue to be debated around the country, Barrett said in early December that women with unwanted pregnancies with no access to abortions do not necessarily have to be forced to raise the child. Instead, she argued, the mother could give birth to the child and then place the child up for adoption. However, both abortion and adoption activists say that it is not that simple. For those who advocate adoption as an alternative method to childbirth, they say that the act of childbirth is inherently bonding....

During the show, Schumer discussed a series of jokes that she was banned from making at the 94th Academy Awards. One such joke revolved around Alec Baldwin’s fatal shooting on the set of the movie, Rust, that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and director Joel Souza injured.
