"You can dig a hole in front of my door and I will vanish", is what Kastute told to the soviet authorities. Rather than working for the collective farm, she chose a life of modest self-determination. She died only months before Lithuania gained back its independence from russia.
Musician, philosopher and "country music expert" Algis Fediajevas played at our festival in the lithuanian countryside last weekend. A shamanic experience! 😶🌫️🌑
Little throwback to the concert "Shamanic Acoustic Psychedelia" of Algis Fediajevas last Saturday in the former culture house of Kriaunos in Lithuania at Vague Wagon Art Festival.

In the middle of nowhere, in north-eastern Lithuania, stands empty the old culture of Kriaunos. Last year we organized a first exhibition with Violeta Bubelyte, Alvydas Lukys and others. This year we hosted a small festival, and we hope this was just the start.

Brian Kilmeade calls for the end of due process: "It's not practical to think we can do due process on 8 million people ... if we're gonna give every one of these guys a day in a court and a lawyer, we can't do it. They don't deserve it."

I’m so goddamn tired of those who should know better - professors, journalists, public intellectuals - not just downplaying what’s happening in the US but actually repeating right-wing talking points and framing that as “sensible” or moderate. I am so angry. Shame on all of you. You are complicit.

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Estimated casualties are over 300 people.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

No one is tracking this as closely as my friend Christina, and she's in the UK!
My latest post is now out.
I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.
This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

Stalin blamed the kulaks for their own starvation. Anyone who blames Zelensky for Trump's decision to cut arms and intelligence has succumbed to the same logic.
