Loook...

I don't give a shit about Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau.

All I'm saying is that if you made a movie about a former prime minister and former pop star falling in love, set it at Christmas, and then put that shit on Netflix, Jess and I would crush two bottles of wine watching it and love it.

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

I remember Joe Manchin being absolutely effusive that the Inflation Reduction Act would bring millions of dollars to create jobs for renewable energy in West Virginia.... now Trump is killing these opportunities.

housing should cost next to nothing. you should just get a place to live, contribute to its power, water, taxes, and a bit aside each month towards upkeep and thats it.

Russia's economic collapse is progressing nicely. Russia's railway monopoly is $51 billion in debt and needs a bailout.

Fascinating deep-dive into the Chinese strategies at play in Eastern Russia and Siberia, taking advantage of Putin’s quagmire in Ukraine. Combination of soft and hard power by China as it slowly digests historically Chinese areas that are now Russian, back into China-

Not kidding here, Oblivion Remastered is a huge upgrade of the old game, and its Skyrim-like leveling system fixed most of the problems I had with it, ages ago. And, even unmodded, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

So the Romanians just voted out their Putin Problem Child Sycophant, electing Nicusor Dan, to be the new President.

Dude has a PhD in Math from the Sorbonne, & twice won the Maths Olympiad.

Gotta love a country that elects a genius to run it, but he’s also a soft spoken, hard working, decent guy.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
