злого even seems too civil. A minute long stream of unprintable Russian expletives seems reasonable.

Yeah, and February 24, 2022 was the day.

Things are going just swimmingly for uncle Volodya, aren't they?

True, but I highly suspect wilful ignorance, led by interest.

On a far lower level

SG Eintracht Braunschweig 1 - 1 Hertha BSC

Can't win against a team 8 places below us, but we knew that. And we have the entire top of the table in front of us...

Played 126, won 62, drawn 23, lost 41.

10 years ago today, the Olympic Games at Sotchi ended with a dazzling closing ceremony, in which medals handed out to the public came aglow in the Russian colours, white, blue and red. As Thomas Bach, the then-new President of the IInternational Olympic Committee, said: By living together under one ...

Supposedly it was trending as slang a few years back: https://germanyinusa.com/2019/01/04/word-of-the-week-tote-hose/ Interestingly, I'd disagree with one aspect of the article on germanyinusa.com: That the word had nothing to with pants. It seems to be one of the expression that has taken the road...

Possibly because it was 872 years ago in 2022? When the film was made? Could be something like that.

Mare Tranqulitatis on the Moon is given an approximate diameter of 873 km.

Now that was a date that some sequelae...

See #3 on the list ;) 10 years ago today, the explosion of violence on Maidan Square in Kyiv paved the for the removal of President Janukovich, a Kremlin puppet, from office; towards the institution of a presential democracy with strong parliamentary control, the beginning of a self-cleansing of Ukr...

Whether the US would actually have preferred Navalny to Putin is essentially irrelevant now. Isn't that the nice thing about dead heroes: They don't have to stand any reality tests anymore, and you can let them become what you want them to become. The only question is, can you persuade enough peopl...

Oh, btw. on the point of the third option for people who don't like Putin and act on it being in exile AND dead, here is another case in point.

Former UK ambassador Craig Murray says: Alexei Navalny should not have been in jail. Nor should Julian Assange. Nor Imran Khan. And which western politicians now waxing about Navalny said anything about Ukraine's murder of Gonzalo Lira? Or Israel's murder of Abdu Al-Tamimi? Oppose all or none. The ...

German wingback with an unintelleactual, work-minded, laconic, yet friendly disposition, died of sudden cardiac death this night, in his home. He was 63. Brehme is best known for converting a penalty for the single goal that gained Germany the title over Argentina in the 1990 football World Cup fina...

Red Hot Chili Pepper Farts

IRRC, the pertinent bill regarding these regulation was nicknamened the Bomb the Hague Act when it was introduced in the House.

My Wikipedia says it was actuall in 865.

British Narcissists, EGO

No muscle for the count:

Hertha BSC 3 - 2 FC Magdeburg

SV Hannover 96 2 - 1 SpVgg Greuther Fürth

Played 124, won 62, drawn 22, lost 40

Hertha and Greuther both busy tonight, both one up at the half. I mean, come on, it can't possibly stay that way?

ETA Oh, and Hertha's opposition is a man down after pulling the last-man emergency brake on a Hertha forward. That does not make me feel better...

I must admit this is really getting to me, in a way I haven't felt since the murder Yitzchak Rabin. Even if it was so obvious, so predictable what would happen. Volodya is just applying the burnt Earth principle to his own lifetime. God knows what the next step of the escalation ladder is, but I wou...

Honestly, I could do without the tires.

The Balentines

Probably a more suitable name for Bon Scott's first band than the original

Indeed. Uncle Volodya is on the offensive im Ukraine, all his opponents are dead or in exile, and one of his cheaper cronies is on a good way to enter the Oral Office again. Remember that pundit proclaiming the End of History in the 90s, and that piano-playing Foeign Secretary telling anyone who wou...

Nor anyone. But hey, think of the income he generated from that one good shot in 2006. Not bad. Not bad at all.
