Word of the day, from Pennsylvanian Dutch, is ‘ferhoodled’, meaning ‘tangled’ or ‘all mixed up’. Can be used of anything from a sock drawer to life.

Why do all decent people stand by Ukraine today? Why do free nations today pay a tribute to the heroes and victims of this inhuman war? Because this is a war in defense of us all: Ukraine, Poland, Europe and our values. Let no-one try to question the very sense of this fight.
