The Spanish synagogue in Prague's old town. Spotted today. What's going on now is upsetting - the weird passive drone warfare between hegemonic actors instead of any kind of democratic dialogue and consensus.

I enjoyed a rave in Azerbaijan, even rave space is owned by the state tho. Neu-feudalist resilient capitalism, noble families, sharing state apparatus and access to resources. Crazy how functional is such a system in the rentier state of Azerbaijan

Everyday life in post-Soviet authoritarianism. An ordinary but exceptionally tasty place in Baku, called Ismet's Cafe. It's quite cheap and for famous among locals. I'm happy I can enter Azerbaijan and enjoy food in my homeland
