the Soviet archives have been open for 30 years and people are still say the Holodomor was intentional, what do you think?
I've uploaded what's been posted on other forums here, seems like there might be other docs out there. There have been conflicting/edited versions of that last image of casualty numbers (all of which seem like bullshit for one reason or another - I'm convinced by this explanation for the numbers) but that's the clearest/ least sketchy detail image
so NYT the immediately confirming this before the OSINT guys and the twitterati get a chance to muddy the waters means it's real, right? either the start of a pivot to withdrawing support (likely) or an elaborate 11D chess move to make the Russians think the Ukrainians are more owned than they are before an offensive (lol, lmao)
reddit-ass war
No idea, but for years I've kept my salt in a little lidded ceramic pot that was formally the packaging for some mid-grade blue cheese and it hasn't let me down yet
The one blink and head nod thing drives me insane, sorry AI guys it's just not juicing my oranges
It's fun but compared to the tightness of the first film I feel the sequels overstay their welcome. Goons waiting their turn, Keanu killing guys three or four times over, slightly-too-much worldbuilding. The Raid is the same vibe but I think a better execution, one of the guys was brought in on JW3 for that second to last fight as well.
Toronto and Montreal have had em for years, funded by the city/ parking authority, and they rip. Stations everywhere, cheap as, don't have to worry about anyone nicking them. Biggest problem is finding an available bike since a lot of commuters ride one way and they have to rearrange overflows by hand, and delivery guys hogging the fancy new e-bikes all day. But both systems are undergoing/ have undergone huge expansions, and have been widely considered a Good Thing
Drop bikes and scooter rentals are an absolute scourge, though
A local furniture-seller-cum-influencer got featured in a local mag a couple years back. Literally talked about how she lives such an austere life that she doesn't own any of her own furniture, doesn't cook, and keeps her shoes in her oven. Not sure if that was meant to be aspirational or what, but it stuck with me.

KF94 all day at work, where maybe 2 other people are still masking. Sometimes upgrade to a N95 on transit or at the grocery store. Most people I know aren't doing it, sometimes they'll be successfully shamed if they see me throw a mask on before going into a cafe or whatever and dig one out of their pocket, but really at this point I'm doing it for my own piece of mind. Haven't caught it (as far as I know) and if I do I want to know it's not because I decided to pretend it doesn't exist.
Annihilation and Dune are Good
Well he also didn't have a year's worth of one of the most extensive global PR campaigns ever to hype him up, either
Jimmy's right
Yeah, it had some fun moments and was very beautifully shot, but was just all over the place tonally. Couldn't decide what movie it wanted to be, couldn't figure out how to resolve its characters, then decides to pull the ripcord instead of coming up with a proper ending. I also recently watched Memories of a Murder, Bong Joon-ho's take on the psycho-sexual murder mystery, and it was also pretty inconsistent in similar ways, so maybe that's just how it goes for South Korean genre films?
the russians blew up their own dam to show that they could blow up other dams, if they wanted to
