Dinosaur fossils have become one of the fastest growing segments of the collectibles market, as the wealthy search for rare stores of long-term value and auction houses look to categories beyond art to diversify their sales. A T. rex named “Stan” sold at Christie’s in 2020 for $31.8 million.

The explanation of the MAR country code is similar to Iceland’s, although a bit more fraught. While the country’s English name is Morocco, the country is known as Maroc in French. Starting in the early 1800s, France expanded its colonial empire to North Africa, where it established a protectorate in what is now Morocco. Morocco achieved national independence in 1956, but the French influence persists in the country. Today, Morocco’s official languages are Arabic and Tamazight (an indigenous language in the region), but French continues to hold a powerful position in the country as a holdover from the colonial era.
I had my feet firmly planted in two different worlds. On February 8th and 9th 2003, I attended my active duty training at McChord and went through a NBC (nuclear/ biological/ chemical warfare) refresher training. I spent most of the weekend in MOPP4, drinking crappy canteen water through a dirty rubber straw that worked about one fourth of the time, and trying to figure out how to finish reading Democracy in America for my Tuesday seminar through my fogged up gas mask. When the MOPP level was lowered we trained for aeromedical evacuations loading and off loading C-17s, a C-9, and Army Blackhawks.
This is what war does to people. The normalization of war is the normalization of the most vile and animalistic aspects of the human psyche. War requires horrible things to be done to innocent people, unfortunate personal sacrifices to be made, and morals to be compromised on both sides--it should never become commonplace or background. War is the most important function of a state. It alters its soul and should be entered into judiciously. What I heard last weekend were souls altered by war. It is no accident the great dystopian literature of the last century took place within unending and ambiguous wars. When war becomes Musak for the masses it destroys the soul of a republic. Thucydides understood this more than anyone and we may soon share Athens' fate.

Book cover, bring the war home, by katherine belew
The Sounders were playing their third straight home game and had no excuse for their dead legs and overall mien on Saturday. Yet there they were, very much not locked-in. It cost them their first home loss in nearly a year – the last one was the Club World Cup – a 2-0 to the Galaxy, which snapped a 22-game home unbeaten run.

Whatever hotel you’re thinking about booking, a Filipino auntie has made a detailed video about it. I don’t know why they do it, but I’m grateful they do. I’ve even started to notice them in production. If you see Tita Pamela slowly panning across the breakfast buffet and focus on the melon selection, you’re watching magic happen.

The U.S. military said on Sunday that it would blockade any ships “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas,” but said it would allow other ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz, hours after President Trump had said the United States would fully block the economically vital waterway. The blockade on Iranian ports would begin on Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement posted on social media, adding that U.S. “forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.”
