“We lost a lot of people during Covid… and most of them are still alive.” Kept thinking of this Joe Rogan line while working on this project with @chefboibex.bsky.social

Wondered what it would take to split far right from centre right, and the two wedges so far are: - Ukraine - ethnic nationalism

How was Konstantin Kisin ever a stand-up comedian? “An Englishmen, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. By this I mean all their parents are white. They have pure white blood. Anyway…”
