Damn, making a whole video full of excuses for Thiel-backed Eric Weinstein, and going as far as removing the article criticising his “Geometric Unity” theory from her own blog, all for the love of the game? Not sure of it’s any better than straight up being sponsored tbh.

The Budapest Memorandum was initially signed by Ukarine, Russia, United States and United Kingdom, “assuring” the security of Ukraine in exchange for giving up their nuclear arsenal. But afaik it doesn’t really imply any legal obligations. I assume that the new agreement would involve more concrete conditions and responsibilities.
The biggest gripe for me is completely disabling MMB copy-paste functionality and instead enabling autoscroll everywhere. Couldn’t achieve this in CachyOS, except for the browsers and maybe a few Electron-based applications.
Holding MMB to scroll like a touch screen drag also breaks canvas panning on MMB in Krita, so I had to disable it.
Basically, MMB behavior in CachyOS is really unappealing to a Windows user, but it seems to be baked into the system.
Bandcamp has “Bandcamp Fridays” when 100% of the sales go to the artists. The next ones are on October 3rd and December 5th.
There’s a frame showing both teleprompters intact after he was shot
some outrageous crazy statement about the war
it’s from Medvedev, as usual
Can the press just stop paying attention to him? He doesn’t hold any power, he gets to make no decisions, he was chosen to be Putin’s seat-warmer in 2008 because he was considered to be a safe choice, with no real ambitions and was extremely easy to reel in. His position on the “security council” means nothing, he was put there specifically so he’d be in a hostile environment, being a random guy between the military, the FSB and the intelligence service. Not that the council itself is much more than a Putin’s puppet. He became the biggest hawk as soon as the war started just in case anyone recalls some of his more “liberal” initiatives. In reality, there’s only 3 things he’s in charge of: a bottle, a shot glass and his telegram account.
Meanwhile, most sex shops: selling jelly which just straight up melts with time, TPE/TPR which are porous and might melt when boiled and therefore pretty much impossible to keep clean, PVC which they promise doesn’t contain phthalates this time, and silicone that has about a 50% chance of actually being platinum cured. DIYers can’t be much worse, as far as I know, they either outright state what methods and materials they use or will provide them upon request.
In Russian, pronunciation of Е depends on its placement. If preceded by a consonant, it’s pronounced like a “softer” Э. A bit like “bet” vs “bat” in US English. It’s only pronounced as “ye” if it’s the first letter of the word, or preceded by a vowel, soft sign (Ь) or hard sign (Ъ).
In Ukrainian, Є is similar to Russian Е, but it’s not modified if preceded by a consonant - in these cases it’s typically replaced by i. Ukrainian Е is indeed about the same as Russian Э. And Russian Ё is replaced by combinations ЙО or ЬО.
The Supreme Court declared the “LGBT movement” to be extremist on November 30th last year. Ruling went into power on January 10th. Now it just got added to a list. People have already been arrested because of it before this. It’s not an actual movement, the whole thing is just an excuse for more repressions, of course.
Telegram channels such as Baza, Ostorozhno Novosti and Vazhnye Istorii were posting eyewitness statements and phone footage as early as 20:15 Moscow time and throughout the event. There was no jamming. Degraded performance was reported for Telegram and VK. Whether the issue was with the local access points or Telegram’s data centers is not clear.
People were posting videos while the attack was happening. Where are you getting this information about “jamming” from? Nearby traffic distribution nodes were likely overloaded which resulted in degraded performance of Telegram and VK services. This is something to be expected when thousands or even millions of people start sending messages all at once, trying to figure out what’s happening to their friends and family.
Blatant misrepresentation of his position. You probably also love mentioning his “cockroaches” video while ignoring the immigration issues, terrorism and problems with Chechnya as the context of the time, as well as not mentioning his second video released at around the same time where he explicitly calls out the far right and argues against violence. Navalny explained multiple times that he attends the march in an attempt to make it better and steer it away from senseless violent rhetoric of those who are cut into the video you posted inbetween clips with him. You mentioned that you speak Russian fluently, so here’s his interview from 2011 where he explains his position regarding nationalism in more detail.
And before you mention it:
Do you guys ever have anything other to say than “haha window” and “lol shot himself 5 times”? Every time there’s an article like this, the comments are all the same exact shit, never an original thought in sight.
As for the guy himself, Murz was a war-mongering twat and he did shoot himself after being ordered to remove his telegram post about Russia’s losses in Avdiivka and some bullying from the state propaganda headed by Solovyov. Everyone’s better off with him dead. Rest in piss, hopefully he won’t be the last problem to solve itself.
The source of this claim is a tiny anonymous telegram channel, that was then cited by NY Post, which was then presumably quoted by Ratcliffe.
