The Hall of Fire

It needs to be said that while Navalny's courage in speaking against Putin is undisputed, that the West labeled him the leader of Russian for freedom and democracy speaks more to the lack of leaders for freedom and democracy in Russia than to Navalny's actual views. The list of people murdered by Pu...

Christo Grozev: "Russian telegram channel VChK-Ogpu notes that the press release announcing @navalny's death was posted literally 2 minutes after the official time of his death." And while it may be a mere coincidence that the death occurred days after Tucker Calrson did his best to polish...

I dunno, but Tucker was last seen wearing a traditional Buryat costume, and managing to look like a right pillock despite the costume being objectively gorgeous. Buryats are an ethnic group native to Siberia that saw so many men conscripted to fight in Ukraine that some called this an attempt at gen...

Estonia is a NATO member. For all our sakes, we need Putin stopped in Ukraine, or we really will get a WWIII.

Stealing, as UNRWA claims, or using with full knowledge and permission, as Israel alleges. Having seen the pictures, I think the latter is more likely.

Exactly.

Yup. And also that Ukraine didn't exist until Lenin made it in 1917, and also that Ukrainians really wanted to be a part of Russia since 1700s. Also Rurik. Prediction: Poland is going to forget whatever economic issues they are having with Ukraine at the moment because they will want to punch Russia...

Yes but the funniest part was even before the interview, where Kremlin's spokesman Peskov called him a liar for saying that no Western journalists "bothered" to interview Putin. 20240207_125828.jpg Peskov went on to say that of course they could not grant an interview to mainstream media b...

All my holds came in at once and meanwhile I'm like

I saw an ad for something on Apple TV that looked intriguing but now I can't remember what it was.

It looks very wintery.

Dave, are you in any other social media? Despite everything, I still find my Twitter feed is the best source of information I know.

Medical applications could be awesome. But a Musk-owned company is the last entity I would want to cut into my brain. Twitter induced brain damage is bad enough. Although anyone who volunteered is not going to come out of surgery any dumber than he went in. Because, cars are simpler than brains and ...

Some more conservative accounts I follow on Twitter for Ukrainian updates (Republican but not Pro-Trump, mostly ex-military) have been talking about EDA for months and blame Biden squarely for slow-walking Ukrainian weapons and making sure Ukraine doesn't win. One result of Ukraine running out of US...

Apologies for an irrelevancy, but why are all these people have names like they are in old DC comics m. Nauta. Habba. Even Trump is such a lazy villain name. And Cannon could be a hero.

Note the date of the tweet

On the other hand, it is possible that Swift's base is bigger than trump's.
