WHEN DEATH FAILED,
THE QUESTION REMAINED.

was 18 when she committed a horrific murder.
At 50, she was strapped to a table to die for it.

Two lethal doses were administered.
She survived.

And just before they tried to kill her, her final words were:

“I’m going to leave this world the way I spent most of my life — in love.”

A strange sentence from someone remembered for something so brutal.

It makes you wonder:
What remains of a human being after the worst thing they have ever done?
Can someone who once became cruel become something else?
And when death is finally standing beside us, what do any of us ask for?

Perhaps not forgiveness.
Not innocence.
Just love.

The ex*****on failed.
Christa Pike is still alive.

And somehow, the question survived with her:
When we punish evil with death, what exactly happens to our own humanity?

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 24, 2026

There are moments when diplomacy no longer needs words. As took the podium at the United Nations, delegates rose and walked out. Outside, protesters filled the streets; inside, empty seats became the image of rejection. Behind all the politics, speeches and calculations lies a far more unbearable reality: children have been killed in a war designed and fought by adults with armies, weapons and power. Whatever flag they are born under, children do not choose wars. They simply inherit their consequences. And perhaps that is the image history will remember most painfully: powerful adults arguing over borders and strategy, while the smallest human beings pay a price they never agreed to.

Today at the United Nations, the message was delivered not through words, but through emptying seats. As Benjamin took the podium, dozens of delegates walked out, turning international anger over the devastation in , civilian deaths and the immense toll borne by children into a visible act of protest. For the prime minister of a nation, few images could be more sobering: standing before the world to speak, only to watch representatives of that world turn their backs and head for the doors. History does not always need a long speech. Sometimes, a few empty seats are enough.

🇹🇷 THE WOMEN OF TÜRKİYE RISE AGAIN

Türkiye’s Women’s National Volleyball Team, known as the Sultans of the Net, are European champions once again.

In Istanbul, they defeated reigning Olympic and World champions Italy 3–2 in a breathtaking final, successfully defending the European crown they first won in 2023.

This victory is not an isolated moment. Türkiye swept Serbia 3–0 in the semifinal, won the Volleyball Nations League earlier this summer, reached its first World Championship final in 2025, and has now secured a place at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

But behind the medals lies a story larger than sport.

More than a century ago, Mustafa Kemal AtatĂĽrk envisioned a modern TĂĽrkiye in which women would stand as equal, educated and visible members of society. He believed that a nation could not truly progress while leaving its women behind.

Today, Turkish women continue that journey in science, art, education, business and sport.

These women did not inherit their victories.
They earned every point, every set, every medal.

But they grew from a Republic that told its daughters they belonged on the world stage.

And tonight, once again, they stood at the very top of it.

Congratulations, Sultans of the Net.
European Champions. Again. 🇹🇷🏆

The story making the rounds in New York fashion circles this week didn’t happen on a runway, but behind the doors of The Met. : Horizons, the major 2027 Costume Institute exhibition intended to celebrate four decades of Galliano’s extraordinary career, has been called off before it ever opened. As his infamous antisemitic and racist remarks from 2011 returned to the conversation, opposition reportedly grew among prominent Jewish leaders, city officials and some influential Met donors. Adding an almost impossible twist, the Met Gala was scheduled for the same evening that Holocaust Remembrance Day begins. Galliano, long championed by Anna Wintour, ultimately stepped away and The Met abandoned the exhibition. Which leaves fashion society with a far more delicious question: whose story will now take Galliano’s place at the 2027 Met Gala? A chair has suddenly opened at fashion’s most important table, and in this world, empty chairs rarely stay empty for long.

Happy August 30 Victory Day. 🇹🇷
Today, TĂĽrkiye commemorates one of the defining moments in the struggle that secured its independence.

In the aftermath of World War I, much of Anatolia was under occupation and the Ottoman Empire was approaching its end. Under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal AtatĂĽrk, the Turkish War of Independence became not merely a military campaign, but the determination of a people to live freely and independently in their own homeland.

The decisive victory of August 30, 1922 paved the way for the end of the occupation and, soon afterwards, the birth of the modern Republic of TĂĽrkiye. Mustafa Kemal , commander-in-chief of that struggle, would become the founder and first President of the Republic.

More than a century later, August 30 still carries a universal message: a nation’s independence is more than the borders drawn on a map. It is a legacy of determination passed from one generation to the next.

Today, TĂĽrkiye remembers with gratitude and respect all those who stood behind that struggle for independence.

THE “BUTCHER OF BOSNIA” IS DEAD TOO…

is dead.

One of the men who, in a past frighteningly close to our own, helped turn a country into a graveyard while the world watched.

Convicted of genocide for where more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were killed, and held responsible for crimes committed during the siege of Sarajevo, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Now, at 84, his own life has ended in detention.

And one question remains:

What was all that death for?

A piece of land?
A flag?
A border moved a few miles?
The delusion that one human being has the right to decide whether another deserves to live?

Those who give the orders die.
Those who pull the trigger die.
Those who chase and those who flee die.
Even those who believe they have won eventually leave this world.

In the end, no one takes even a handful of conquered earth with them.

But what they leave behind is not equal.

A mother whose door will never open again. A child who was never allowed to grow old. A woman waiting years for a few bones to emerge from a mass grave. Bullet marks on the walls of a city, and absences within human beings that no court can ever repair.

Perhaps this is war’s greatest lie:
that someone wins.

There are no winners in war.
There are only those who lose less.

Ratko Mladić is dead.

But those lying beneath the earth of Srebrenica still leave us with a truth humanity repeatedly refuses to learn:

No atrocity committed by one human being against another ever truly belongs to the past.

And in the end, history does not remember how long the generals lived.

It remembers all those who, because of them, never had the chance to.
