I would think that without ensuring fair elections with UN monitors, it's going to be same old-same old. At least I think that unlike the Afghanis, who are split into tribal factions and know only of "might makes right," I have a sense that Iranians are ready for democracy. I could be wrong. Just killing one leader after another doesn't solve any long-term problems. It just kicks the can down the road.

My hubbie and I will be going on a Danube trip in May, including several countries in which my understanding of the local lingo is either zero (Hungarian) or close to nonexistent (Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Romanian). I'm thinking of getting translating earbuds, but don't know anyone who's actually used them. Have you had the opportunity to use them? How well do they work?

I ran across what I thought were some hot photos of this man with birthmarks. I looked him up on LPSG, and apparently he's AI! I then also noted that his birthmarks changed. He has a Pay-Per-View site (to which I did not subscribe). After careful exam, the birthmarks did move around. He goes by "Alex Pumar," or "Alex Pumare," stating he's 25 and living "somewhere in the USA." He apparently just popped up out of nowhere a few weeks ago. Soon we'll be paying PPV/OnlyFans, etc., for AI content. If they're going to charge us for artificial beauty, I hope they get the technology for hot androids soon... https://linktr.ee/alexpumar86 https://www.instagram.com/alexpumare/

On a personal note, I'd sure like to be able to safely visit Iran one of these days. Hopefully it won't remain a theocracy until the day I die.

Reminds me of that movie... 😄

I would encourage to OP's actions to be guided by a urologist, and not by YouTube ads. The presence of paraphimosis really makes matters more complicated and more urgent than simple phimosis. PhimoStop is only indicated for Kikiros Grade 2 or less: As I mentioned earlier, paraphimosis can lead to gangrene, which has truly debilitating consequences:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/02/rightwing-brazilian-influencer-junior-pena-arrested-by-ice "A rightwing Brazilian influencer who claimed Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown targeted only “crooks” has been arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey. Júnior Pena, whose full name is Eustáquio da Silva Pena Júnior, declared his support for the US president in a recent video message to his hundreds of thousands of social media followers. “I [support] Donald Trump – I like the guy,” announced the South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective. In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized. On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing. The detainee’s lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, was reportedly trying to resolve the situation and prevent him being transferred to another state. The Brazilian influencer has reportedly lived in the US since 2009 and hails from Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, from where a large number of people have emigrated to the US and Europe...".

He's working hard trying to rig the elections. He thinks he can. I'm not sure he can do as much as he thinks he can. He's mostly acted like he's above the law (because he essentially is), but at least there are some brakes being applied by the Judicial branch.

On today's ABC News with David Muir, he said that "Martin Short's family break their silence on his daughter's death!". His daughter had only died the day before! He made it sound as if Martin Short "owed" him some kind of statement the moment his daughter died. It seemed rather disrespectful to my ears. The clip is at 16:35

I was tempted to add this to a different string but resisted the temptation...

Don't worry. The last time snow was recorded in downtown LA was in 1962.
