I feel that sometimes life nowadays can be summarized into continous fights like this one:
Bash the fash
It dawned on me last night that Elon will never sell Twitter, no matter how much money it’s losing him. Because if he did, he’d have to say goodbye to the unrestricted power over social media that owning that piece of crap gives him. Media has always had a monopoly, but what he has going on is next level.
State radio this morning suddenly started talking on Ibrahim Traore and Russian ties and my partner all of a sudden called it bullshit lol. Did not really expect it from her but she saw lots of comments on Dutch state media Instagram defending the man so the people know what’s up it seems.
Israel almost won Eurovision and got second place. They also won the televote by a wide margin. Glad I didn’t vote and watched from an illegal stream. A contest where this is normal shouldn’t get my viewership and votes.

What’s up with white people saying “I didn’t have [thing] on my bingo card”? It’s like an animal crossing catchphrase with them, I swear. I heard two distinct people say it today alone. So freaky.
Those 2 people probably saw it on the same tv show the night before and it stuck with them.

Went to the local asian supermarket for the first time yesterday and I’m definitely coming back. They have so much more instant noodle brands and flavours than my regular supermarket. And a lot of ingredients and snacks that they don’t have in other supermarkets.
I got Vietnamese instant noodles with shrimp taste, it was pretty delicious.
The asian markets in my city are cheaper than the big chains and the produce is always fresh. I can’t remember the last time I found a decent lime at one of the chains. The asian market that I regularly shop at even makes their own kimchi and its definitely a step above the mass produced stuff!
It’s my go to for everything Asian I cook. So much better than the standard supermarket things. I never knew so many flavors of sambal existed before I went to our local toko.
There seems to be an increased reporting on Burkina Faso across Western media and that means we have another coup coming up soon of course
Why does that indicate that a coup is coming ? Isn’t it better for a coup against such a popular figure to happen without western audiences hearing about it ? Granted, I haven’t thought a lot about general color revolution strategy, but what’s the playbook ?
coup attempt, it will fail
I read somewhere that while Traoré was in Russia there was a significant assault by terrorists. (feels weird to use that word legitimately instead of ironically) I think it’s kinda funny because the west really wants to give them the Libya treatment but they know they couldn’t get away with it these days.
I noticed that too! Lots of articles vaguely attributing massacres to the Burkinabe government.
The Dutch media have started with spreading propaganda against Traoré
I shall personally bully every single person who speaks out against him
Something about how they use Justin Bieber ai so people think he is god or something dumbest shit ever
Yeah, at least it’s very dumb propaganda that’s not very convincing.

People become real LGBTQ+ advocates the second they can blame the hate on Muslims somehow
Today I was helping a dude at my work and when we were finished he looked at me and said’ : ‘I’m from Turkey and I think you are a very handsome man, especially with your [my distinct facial qualities].’ And I thought to myself: this is the behavior we should normalise lol. Uplift our fellow homies out there.
