Photos of how Sloviansk looked before terrorists came. But of course you cannot be bothered to sign the petition to call the crimes committed against these people with the name they deserve.
“I think the whole idea of air travel passengers standing in a line holding their shoes is the result of a brain storm session where one hot shot told the other, “I bet you a thousand bucks I can make everyone take off their shoes in some twisted patriotic sense of homeland security.”” I suspect there were quite a few drinks involved in said brain storm session, but I agree with this blogger’s insight.
An enormous list of links to video and photo footage of what happened with Odessa. Of course, I know nobody cares because BBC or CNN or some other loser network has already declared that Ukrainians deserve nothing better.
“Long gone are the days when supply outweighed demand and job seekers had to go an extra mile to stand out and appease recruiters and hiring managers. While top headhunting firms are now recognizing the need to differentiate in order to engage potential candidates, outdated advice to job seekers still abounds.” Old-school thinking takes forever to give way to the new.
“When reports of the “botched execution” (lovely phrase) in Oklahoma came out, it didn’t even occur to me to wonder what the crimes involved were because it didn’t matter.” Yeah, because it’s easy to be a preachy do-gooder when you don’t have to imagine the suffering of a raped and murdered 11-month-old baby girl or of the young woman buried alive. These are female victims, which means that they don’t matter anyway. And if somebody decides on the basis of this that I support the death penalty, then I seriously worry for such a person’s intellect.
Finally, political analysts are starting to clock on to the change in the US foreign policy towards the withdrawal mode. Maybe we will even see an analysis of this development that will go deeper than the tired old discussion of Obama’s personality.
Under a mountain of empty and boring verbiage in the linked post, I did manage to find something kind of insightful: “We must see marriage only and always as endangered or broken, because that is the only reliable way to enshrine it as valuable and important. If people are fighting to preserve it, if its hollowing out is felt as a loss — well, then, it must be something very precious!” It’s true that people who declare with scary solemnity that “marriage is hard work” are the ones who live in really shitty and worthless relationships.
And the most hilarious post I read in a while: “Given all of the vicious homophobia of Russia and its self-proclaimed Tsar, Vladimr Putin, along with the recent annexation of Crimea and the long-established regional history of misogyny and anti-Semitism, I’m starting to get a bit worried about a possible resurrection of a new USSR.” I shouldn’t laugh, this blogger means well. It’s just weird to see somebody realize something so painfully obvious about a year after everybody else got it.
In Russian: a hybrid war in theory and in practice.
I saw this article announced as “a devastating indictment to Harper’s Canada” but found a mumbly collection of useless quotes. It’s no wonder nobody can create a strong opposition to Harper if even online people are incapable of writing in a way that will really arouse passions against him.
Photos of a newspaper office in the Ukrainian city of Torez destroyed by Russian terrorists.
In Russian: Russian terrorists in Donetsk continue with their anti-semitic outbursts.
Out of these “9 Incredibly Useful Russian Words With No English Equivalent”, I never heard 2. Who makes these lists if even a very educated native speaker of a language with a very limited vocabulary can’t identify some of the words on the list?
Isn’t it cute when a man pompously declares that it’s unnatural for women to enjoy sex? (The exact quote is, “Some women’s clits are fully engaged during intercourse without any extra effort (they can come “just” from fucking), but they’re in the minority.” The whole statement is out-of-this-world idiotic.)
“Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged that a planned May 11 referendum on autonomy in southeast Ukraine be postponed. In a Wednesday meeting with Swiss president Didier Burkhalter, Putin also called on Ukraine’s military to halt all operations against pro-Russia activists who have seized government buildings and police stations across at least a dozen towns in eastern Ukraine.” What a disgusting horrible cockroach. He will have a second Ossetia in the East of Ukraine at any cost.
In Russian: Putin explains the tenets of Russian Nazism and why this ideology is dear to his heart.
