Russia had a chance after 1991 to look forward. Instead it chose imperial maps and millions dead in the mud. It burned 21st-century wealth on a 19th-century map & threw away its 22nd century. The world is laughing at the “great power” drag itself back to the Stone Age. Credit: Caolan Robertson

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Mail them a letter saying "the government does not recognize the legitimacy of the referendum, but citizenship is nevertheless voluntary; please find attached the form to renounce citizenship. If you have a need to apply for asylum after having done so, we have a local center nearby that can help"

The thing is, those care costs ARE being met from the economy now. They’re just consuming private savings and the overstretched resources of adult children of those in need. There’s no extra cost involved in meeting them from the public purse. Just redistribution.

On Instagram, the account "Prince and Princess of Wales" posts a picture. It shows Prince William in a gray Glen check sport coat, light blue shirt, and bright blue hard hat. He's supposedly hammering a nail into the wall.  A close up of the photo shows he's not holding the nail, only pretending to.
