tbf, dried figs are still very good.

I’d like to disagree with the message of this song:

So if you're ever feeling down, grab your purse and take a taxi
To the darker side of town, that's where we'll be
And we will wait for you and lead you through the dance floor
Up to the DJ booth, you know what to ask for
You know what to ask for

Go ask for Joy Division and celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong, but we're so happy

Let's dance to Joy Division and raise our glass to the ceiling
'Cause this could all go so wrong, but we're so happy
Yeah, we're so happy

Let the love tear us apart, I've found the cure for a broken heart

Still funny as hell, hat off to the creators.

Sounds like they haven’t had sufficient funds to keep it in good repair, yet they’re announcing that after decomissioning the ISS they will launch their own Russia-only space station. Baloney?

Anyhow I feel they’re busy with other things right now and launching astronauts is not their #1 priority. But this could point to Russia’s economy/society crumbling more and more, so it’s still a net positive.

The only thing that really pisses me off here is that it will most likely play into Musky Melon’s hand.

I asked three 5-year-old girls what they were playing. They answered K-pop demon hunters. Each of them had a different garish hair color (represented by colorful beanies). That’s about all I know about K-Pop Demon Hunters.

But now that we have “peace” in Gaza, we can continue shipping weapons with a good conscience

It’s all so fucked up. It took 80 years to get that way. How long to unfuck? In theory, we (several countries) just need to stop actively supporting Israel. But there’s so much political fuckery in the way, and the more one side of the political spectrum demands this, the more certain others will ride the opposite.

Welcome to the rest of your life. There’ll be a lot more of this.

Well, son, a funny thing about regret is
That it’s better to regret something you have done
Than to regret something you haven’t done.
And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend
Would you be sure and tell her…

Yeah that one’s amazing. If it’s staged, they’re all pretty good actors. Are you sure?

Here in the dark North I take - during winter only - 50µg daily. I never take it before going to sleep, but tbh I have no idea if it would even make a difference. Sometimes I feel a bit of an effect - like eating something rich in Vitamin C after a day without vitamins. But all in all, I don’t think this alone will improve your mood.

They are not his to hand.

Why is this in the news again? He & Putler have been trying to sell that for - weeks? Years?

I’m on the 2nd read-through, some even the 3rd. You should try it too.

yes

I just love his constant swearing. It creates an effect like a fuzzy guitar.

EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said such threats posed an “extreme danger” to the bloc, arguing it must “have a strong response” to the attacks.

Last week, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto slammed the continent’s “inertia” in the face of growing hybrid attacks and unveiled a 125-page plan to retaliate. In it, he suggested establishing a European Center for Countering Hybrid Warfare, a 1,500-strong cyber force, as well as military personnel specialized in artificial intelligence.

“Everybody needs to revise their security procedures,” Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said on Nov. 20. “Russia is clearly escalating its hybrid war against EU citizens.”

Walk the talk

Despite the increasingly fierce rhetoric, what a more muscular response means is still an open question.

Part of that is down to the difference between Moscow and Brussels — the latter is more constrained by acting within the rules, according to Kevin Limonier, a professor and deputy director at the Paris-based GEODE think tank.

As much as I’d love for the EU to get its shit together right now, I have to agree with this 100%.

“This raises an ethical and philosophical question: Can states governed by the rule of law afford to use the same tools … and the same strategies as the Russians?” he asked.

So far, countries like Germany and Romania are strengthening rules that would allow authorities to shoot down drones flying over airports and militarily sensitive objects.

National security services, meanwhile, can operate in a legal gray zone. Allies from Denmark to the Czech Republic already allow offensive cyber operations.

So, some nations (mostly those bordering on Russia) are already taking, hmm, “semi-offensive” action while we’re still waiting on the EU’s official response - the “walk” as opposed to the “talk”.

You also just got eaten.
