I have been a long time advocate for Ukraine. I lived there for over a decade, and I wasn't making an ex-pat's salary. I support NGOs in Ukraine that deserve the support. Check out https://uamuzik.blogspot.com to get a gist of who I am.

Trump spent Thanksgiving sitting like a schlub at Mar-a-Lago while Kamala Harris spent the day prepping food for underprivileged DC’s school children.

If you think I’d regret my vote for her for one second you are out of your mind.

We need to start asking people why they didn't vote and then fixing that issue perhaps. Because I do not understand why people don't take the time to vote. We don't even have long lines in Canada for voting.

slowly realizing that this “bluesky utopia” full of liberals is literally hell

-thinly veiled racism
-preoccupation with ascribed identities
-entitlement and demand for Black labor i.e. “teach me”
-denial of racism
-victim blaming
-hatred of leftist ideas
-confusion about class analysis

Shares of Russian Gazprom fell to an almost historic low of $1 per share.

The fall comes amid a general decline in the Russian market.

At its peak, one share of the company was worth $8.5.

I'm reading that Mark Zuckerberg is genuinely spooked by the rapid growth of Bluesky. Sounds pretty good.

Ukrainian post-punk band ДК Енергетик released a music video for their song about a tired power engineer. The video was filmed in Chornobyl and is a tribute to those Ukrainian power grid workers who were killed during russian attacks on our civilian infrastructure

Friends,
I see from the comments and the general atmosphere how exhausted and anxious many of us are. Some to a greater extent, some to the lesser.

Let's share words of support with each other, photo or something that made you smile recently.

I will read your comments with a smile and gratitude.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce a Canadian journalist and alleged Soviet/Russian spy, David Pugliese (@davidpugliese). He’s best-known for his articles about “Ukrainian Nazis”, and for allegedly being a spy for both the Soviet Union and later Russia.

Sorry, but lowering the draft age to 18 for the sake of getting more manpower while partners still spend months and years weighing the risks of escalation with every single weapon and equipment type that Ukraine begs for does not seem to look like a good long-term strategy.

Well I just opened one of my last ferments. It only contained three ingredients: beetroot with the greens and turmeric. Of course the magic ingredient is 18 grams of pickling salt. #fermentation #veggies #vegetables
#Beetroot: 625 grams
Greens from the beetroot: 125 grams
#Turmeric: 50 grams
