Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole. World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth. World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it. What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.” Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar. On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated: Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration. Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs. International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence.

[Insert howl of frustration] You said it all too well.
Only know about the headlines and cliff notes, but this is a fiery brutally honest summary! Well done, sir!
Pretty much 😭
All I can say is, politics is a circus and politicians are clowns. Lol. Loved your Haiku!
I'd have known who this was even without the pic 😅
Good 👍

The DP needs to choose a different candidate before it's too late. If I saw Biden looking like that in a walmart parking lot, I'd check to see if he was lost and had any relatives around. The RP claims they are anti-establishment, and then Trump chooses the CIA director (who looks like the bad guy straight out of a MI film) to be america's diplomat. Our choice: the destruction of women's rights, or infinity war. Two bad options.If you have to choose, I leave it up to you. I live overseas, don't vote, and am just an observer.
I remember when Trump debated with Hilary, wondering what on Earth I was watching.
Precisely! Not even Hollywood could have dreamt this up.
What a strange encounter it is!
