Just to be clear, folks: "Wir haben es nicht gewußt" is not gonna cut it as an excuse this time around.

I have to say I'm really enjoying the Ahsoka series. It feels very Star Wars-y compared to the many other series from the last years. (Although Andor was also very good.)

"Experience" is biking around a lamp post when a big bird is sitting on it, even though the chance of being shat on is fairly low.

You know, never in my life I could have imagined that for a great many people "my ambition in life is to be an actual nazi" is a thing.

Isn't it time to start sending soldiers to the #Ukraine so the Ukrainians can get reinforced and get some rest? Perhaps give them the Ukrainian nationality* first so Putin won't start crying like a little girl. #NATO #NATOsummit *) in addition to their native nationality

Looks like my spare time project isn't that crazy. OpenVibe is something similar, although I haven't tried it out yet.

I don't think I can take another four years of that diaper-wearing orange mongoloid as president of the US. With his stupid antics being in the news every fucking day. Can't whomever have been running the country behind Biden do it for another four years?
