The Georgia Republican warned Trump not to hire Laura Loomer to work on his 2024 campaign. Greene and far-right activist Loomer once publicly praised one another, but they are now feuding. The New York Times reported that Trump wanted to hire Loomer, but sources said the plan was scrapped. Greene took to Twitter on Friday to say Loomer is "mentally unstable and a documented liar" who "can not be trusted." Loomer responded with multiple tweets attacking Greene, calling her a liar and describing her behavior as "not very "Christian."

Students of history may recognize a concept I’ll call the Weirdo Theory of Crisis. In times of upheaval and strife (so goes the theory), unconventional figures have a way of slipping into power. They were also, in various combinations and to different degrees, messy, wounded human beings. “During prosperous times, none of Roosevelt’s up-and-coming lieutenants could have ventured far beyond political suburbia,” as Mr. Lebaert puts it. “Then the Great Depression changed everything.” Weirder still, these four survived into Roosevelt’s unprecedented fourth term, outlasting nearly every other secretary or top adviser, aside from the First Lady.
The fifth season of Netflix’s superb, ambitious “The Crown” covers the years from 1988 to early 1997, arguably the nadir of England’s modern monarchy. “The Crown” sets up series creator Peter Morgan to be a 21st- century Shakespeare for the Second Elizabethan era. “The Crown” sets up series creator Peter Morgan to be a 21st-century Shakespeare for the Second Elizabethan era. His retellings of royal life are no more accurate than “Richard II” or “Henry V,” making royal whining all these years later all the sillier. “The Crown” even finds ways to make Charles a sympathetic figure in the divorce, no small feat.
“THEY’RE VERY NICE, inspiring weirdos.” That’s how Louis Vuitton women’s artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière describes his fashion-industry peers. Growing up in France’s relatively remote Loire Valley, Mr. Ghesquière, 51, dreamed of being one such weirdo. He’d watch fashion programs on TV, special-order magazines with his mother and customize friends’ clothes. “As a kid [fashion] was my way of expressing myself,” recalled the Paris-based designer. Since 2013, he’s been at Vuitton, whose new spring 2023 collection was shown in Paris earlier this month at the Louvre Museum’s Cour Carrée.
And in and around Silicon Valley, they're the informational coin of the realm. Silicon Valley, after all, prides itself on being an ultrarational place for data-driven decisions, made by people with the brains and intestinal fortitude to identify disruptive winners. But the more solid research puts the lie to the idea of Silicon Valley as a utopia of empiricism. Its unfettered belief in freewheeling, big-ticket plays, in fact, is what sets Silicon Valley apart from other tech ecosystems. To the movers and shakers of Silicon Valley, a startup isn't merely a business.
The Ayahuasca Diaries

But please understand: I didn't drink ayahuasca so I could write an article about it. I wrote an article about it so I could drink ayahuasca. I was desperate to drink ayahuasca — I had been for several months, in fact — and the formality of an assignment would help me out at home. Instead, a friend of a friend linked me up with an ayahuasca sangha, a Buddhist word for a spiritual community. I thought of my old friend, Scott, who, many years before, had declined an opportunity to drink ayahuasca.

Then, you'll fret and stress for the next several months about whether or not you're sticking to your budget. Instead of struggling through the tedious chore of The Dreaded Budget, I simply write down what I spend. The Budget says there's one day left in the month, and I still have $100 left in my entertainment category. I encourage you to simply track what you're spending for a month or two. Either way, you'll be shocked at how quickly your savings grow when you break the chains of the budget.
