If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The SDR frequency band is on the left, showing some sort of Shephard Tone thing going on. On the right of the screen is a plugdata screen with an Oblique Palette object at the time controlling three little sets of knobs and sliders. The output is going to an envelop follower that is sending its values to output 1 of the Palette.

Behind it is a big yellow oscilloscope that’s showing a complex waveform.

Saying “my life stinks” when things go wrong is self deprecating, defeatist, and fills you with sadness.
Saying “this isn't the life Godzilla wants for me” is motivating, makes you think about Godzilla, and reminds you that Godzilla cares about you.

He is an open advocate for mass murder.
