The Senate has finally released its long-discussed, much-debated, bipartisan border package. Despite their demands for many of the increased security measures the bill would provide, House Republicans are setting aside their self-proclaimed commitment to border reform in favor of blocking a potential PR victory for the Biden administration.  Only hours after the 370-page document was released, House Republican leadership was already shutting the doors on its prospects in the lower chamber.  “I’ve seen enough.…

There are many things that are obviously true, but people still refuse to see them. We can take some simple examples - let’s say, you can know that somebody is being a terrible friend or partner to you. They are literally a walking red flag, but it is what it is because you love them, you have fun together and you just choose to look away.Well, there are things with similar principles that everybody knows but just chooses to look away - such as that alcohol is no good for us or our phones are just robbing us of our time…

Most people probably try to concentrate on their checklist or what to make for lunch when grocery shopping, yet sometimes they can’t help but spot something they see no purpose in or think they would never pay for themselves. Naturally, though, as pointed out by some commenters, it is mostly about people’s preferences, yet others may still have questions about the purpose, price, or impact on health, which in some cases has a very informative explanation, as with pre-chopped vegetables, given by this Redditor.Do you…

While it might sound counterintuitive, the real issue often isn’t perceiving the truth, it’s admitting that it’s true in the first place. “The truth hurts,” “the uncomfortable truth” and other phrases are almost cliche at this point, but this doesn’t make them less correct. Someone asked, “What’s something that’s painfully obvious but people will never admit?” and people shared their best uncomfortable truth bombs. From the fact that life isn’t fair, to interesting psychological realities, get comfortable, perhaps take…

Has the focus on Saadat Hasan Manto, Ismat Chughtai, Premchand, Qurratulain Hyder, and Gulzar among Urdu-English translators overshadowed other writers from being known more widely? Or do you hold publishers responsible? Author Rakshanda Jalil (Courtesy the subject) Certain names are most anthologised and taken to be most representative of a literature. In this, more than the publishers, I would say lazy volume editors are at fault. Like tired ghosts, some writers – and only some of their “best known” stories –…

Some people regularly update their phone and computer software. Others take their sweet, sweet time.Ashley Mwitanti is in the latter camp. Her iPhone 11 is behind by about two full versions of iOS. She says she’s stuck because she would need to delete a few gigabytes of data to update the device.
