One of the stupidest jabs (it sure as fuck isn’t any kind of argument, I’ll tell you that much) I’ve seen thrown at Ukraine in general and Zelensky in particular is the whole “but he was a comedian” line of argumentation. Like, ah yes, a comedian, the very worst thing a man can be. He should definitely be ashamed of his past, unlike his opponent, A GODDAMN FORMER KGB AGENT.

@Anouk Seeing the news presenter lose his shit makes it even funnier 😂
@StephanieResists Welp 😣
Aren't they always asposed to
@StephanieResists
I don't think there is anything in jurisprudence about the necessity to postpone the meting out of justice in favor of "big sweeps" when someone breaks the law
@StephanieResists I only have one question: WHEN are we going to start seeing people change into orange jumpsuits?
Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska's Firm Pours Millions into Kentucky After Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul Vote Against Sanctions

Apparently, James Cameron is suffering from a common "old man" malady which seems to ail people more the more they approach death -- an urge to say and do things that, in their mind, will reserve for them a place in Heaven.
That is the only explanation I have for including a "messianic child of immaculate conception" into the world of Avatar.
A nation’s literature explains a lot about their ethos. Having taken a few semesters of Russian literature in college, I offer this observation. War, death, poverty, and societal ills loom large, as do themes of unfairness and the inability to overcome “the system” and corrupt bureaucrats. Add in malevolent leaders who revel in torment and death and it suggests that, unless you’re an noble or oligarch, life holds very little for you. There’s nothing left to do but inflict the misery on others.

When Luke was not “on duty” yesterday, bc his boss let him take annual leave for the time he was in the water for his competition heats, he (originally an alternate, who was able to compete only bc an official pro-surfer invitee dropped out) did this…

I know I talked about this yesterday but TBH this has been, for me, the feel-good story of the last few days…or longer, so I’m gonna share more.
27 yr old Oahu North Shore native, Luke is not a pro surfer. He is a pro lifeguard, at Waimea, the beach where Eddie Aikau become the first official lifeguard. At this event, which has honored Eddie since 1984, Luke was on duty in between his heats. He was literally saving people doing things like this…

I was born in the USSR and grew up in an ex-soviet "republic". Want an honest opinion on communism from someone who's experienced it firsthand? Ask me.
