The 1960 US Presidential Election

Another presidential history blog post from Sporcle! This one is in regards to the 1960 election: Kennedy vs Nixon. Quite the spectacle, given how close the two candidates were, and how (in)famous both of them would be in American politics to this day.

Sporcle's trivia on presidents has been really insightful and fun to read, and I hope anyone encountering this post will find the trivia just as fun!

Ukraine war: 16 killed during attack on market in 'peaceful city'

At least 16 people, including a child, were killed in the blast, which took place on a busy market street in the middle of the day - a rarity.

Kostyantynivka, in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, is near the front line.

At least 28 people are thought to be injured. A market, shops and a pharmacy are all reported to have been hit.

Mr Zelensky, who has blamed Moscow, said those killed were "people who did nothing wrong" - and warned the death toll could increase.

"All services are working," Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal assured residents, adding: "The fire is contained."

Popular Candy of the Political Compass

First fresh post made for this Lemmy! Credits to @favrion for the initial idea. Adapted it from chocolate bars to popular candy since Skittles felt like the perfect inclusion for LibLeft. The rest followed.

Apologies for the lower quality compared to the other posts- made this using MS Paint on my work laptop instead of Photoshop on my home desktop like I usually do.
