Wishing doesn’t seem like an effective strategy

Don’t worry, the total collapse of the US government is scheduled for this weekend.

I’m really looking forward to what Russia has to say today.

Yeah, the point is Ukraine can now go to the peace talks and say “Are you ready to quit and go home yet?”

I live in a place full of Russians. Trust me, they know. The official state media tries to cover it up, but it’s getting harder and harder. Most Russians know, they just can’t talk about it publicly without risking prison. But Putin’s days are numbered.

Depardieu [argued] that he did not consider placing a hand on a person’s buttocks sexual assault and that some women were too easily shocked.

[The judge said] “He does not seem to have grasped either the concept of consent or the … consequences of his behaviour…”

The takeaway for men: yes, you need consent before grabbing someone’s ass.

I expect this to keep going all week.

It’s basically a parade for the country’s biggest holiday. It’s not an anti-government protest.

In that case, looks like Zelenskyy had the cards.

“We’re not going to uphold our previous security assurances, but here are some more security assurances, for real this time” seems like a play out of Russia’s playbook.

I don’t think OSM is paying coastal US corporate salaries lol

For context, 52,243 Palestinians killed over 568 days is an average of 92 per day. So 14 is, unfortunately, not really news.

On the “brink” of catastrophe might be an understatement. The place has been in full blown catastrophe for over a year.

Oh no! Anyway…

Common tactic for misogynists and nazis too. If the shit you say is poorly received, “it was a joke”, if no one objects it was dead serious.

He doesn’t have the cards.

Or in the US, it seems.

Look at a map before you make statements like that.

Not really a valid assumption. Most vaccines are not available at tourist clinics, though maybe they should be, seems like the demand is increasing.

Make sure they’re also countries that will give vaccines to foreigners. I had a hell of a time getting routine flu shots in Spain, Hungary and Thailand. The systems are often set up with the assumption that you’re a citizen or have a national healthcare ID of some sort. Without that, good luck finding a clinic who will give you a shot.
