Images: Images courtesy of Chantal Crousel, Paris Press Release: The German word Icht means any thing, or any such thing. The word has nearly vanished in modern language, having survived only in Nichts —nothing, (or no-thing), which was formed out of the two words in (meaning no) and icht (any such thing) as in-icht . If we subtract the T from Icht , the Ich remains—the German equivalent to the I. Embedded and included in Icht, in any such thing, is the I, the inherent I of any such thing.

Kim Kardashian West met with President Trump Wednesday afternoon to discuss "prison reform and sentencing." During the meeting, Kardashian West advocated for the release of Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old woman who is serving a life sentence, without parole, for a first-time, nonviolent drug offense. The New York Post published a cover on Thursday referring to Kardashian West's meeting with the president as "Trump meets rump" and "the other big ass summit." The newspaper also calls the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star "Kim Thong Un," a reference to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Many online have slammed the tabloid's cover for its "sexist" tone, which they believe reduced Kardashian West's meeting with Trump to a few punchlines about her body.

"I wanted to create something that others might look up to," he continued. "It's important to show the princesses as strong women because of that influential role they have in society.
