Just two more days until Christmas Eve on Syntagma Square!
Wheeee!
@TubunMuzuru My favorite quote by Frank Zappa was when he was given a piece of bread with a mushy blob of brownish stuff on top (mashed eggplant paste that the ruskies call "caviar", unironically):
"Thank you. I've never been offered a shit sandwich before."
@kel Why, what did you let him see
Me: *clicks on a link to a recipe site promising a fresh take on grilled cheese*
Food blogger, author of the recipe: "Back in 1900s when my Great Grandpa was packing off for the Great War..." *a 900 word essay follows*
"Shrapnel wounds to soft tissues of the head" says the medical report. IDK that just sounds funny to me 😆
Soft tissues of the head?
@Shilohx I only dug the debut album.
Stuff that followed sounded just way too... i dunno, radio friendly to me, I guess.
Mainstream repulses me.

John Harwood:
"On their 2020 income tax returns, Trump and his wife Melania paid no federal income taxes and claimed a refund of $5.47 million, according to the report by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation."
Watching reports of Zelensky’s trip to Washington piling in.
Expect Russian media to have a seizure today lol
It’s going to be a fun day.
Those Patriot air defends systems can’t come soon enough, though. Putin tends to vent off his anger by ordering massive missile strikes all over Ukraine usually.

This may sound as an unfunny slanderous joke but I have it first hand from my Russian contacts: conscripts in Putin’s army are forced to buy clothing and equipment when they are sent to war in Ukraine. Families pool in their savings, many people take loans for that purpose.
It’s insane, but it’s true.
They obey slavishly.
🤦♂️
@desbearado I liked the movie!
And the one about the troubled son of a mother who didn’t want to know him (can’t remember the title, oops).
Those very good movies, both, that in watched.

@chaos440 I endured it for about 15 minutes then turned it off to never return to this ridiculous nonsense even in my memory 🫤
Russias ex mock head of the space program Rogozin was reportedly wounded when a building in Donetsk where he held his birthday party was shelled.
He received shrapnel wounds in his head, buttocks and thigh.
No vital organs, unfortunately.
Rogozin’s only merit is complete loyalty and subservience to Fuhrer.
His tenure at Roscosmos consisted mostly of tweeting insults at Elon Musk and the American SpaceX program.
After losing his post and a short hiatus Rogozin took on a war propagandist’s role
@JanMoleski Almost everyone did
