On episode 3 of this. The show is pretty interesting so far. I love Columbo, so the whole method of showing the audience the crime first, and then the investigator proving it is neat. I don't understand why they decided to give the heroine a special "lie detector" talent?

The show would have...

Btw, VAT or sales tax is regressive taxation that hits poor people the most, since consumer spending takes a larger portion of their income. Never forget that a corrupt state has no issue fleecing its own people.

Sharing an article on tariffs by the St. Louis Fed for no particular reason.

Pure poetry.
In the beginning was the plan. And the plan had no substance. And the darkness was on the mobiks. And they spoke among themselves fearfully, saying

"it is a crock of shit, it stinks & we will all die"

There is no way we aren't in a simulation.

A football organization infamous for corruption and lack of principles awarded a medal for peace to the most powerful man in the world, who accepted it, acting out a bad mime.

It takes a lot to make me feel sad for agent orange, but this is just pathetic.

November 2025 was horrific for Russian industry comparable only to 2008-9. Civilian industry is nearly 5% below the 2024 level demand as low as in 2008-9. The 3% boost in output in October was only due to defense production and an oil refining boost.

JD Vance Munich Speech has become the Vance Doctrine.

Actionable policy which includes and prescribes direct interference into EU democratic processes by supporting far right and Eurosceptic parties.

If this is not the final wake up call Europe, I don't know what is.

Been running through the shows that got cancelled or finished in the last season. Very few shows worth the watch. I guess 2025 was a weak crop. Nothing that's can't miss so far. Some fun ideas. Watching Duster right now. Mediocrity abounds.

Something important to remember is that Sberbank is majority owned by the NWF. There is no unadulterated data on the moskovian economy. Everything we see is dimes to dollars a rosier picture than reality. Meaning that while we don't know exactly when the economy crashes it will be sooner and worse.

You're young, so you don't remember when the moskals were claiming that this year there would be no big expenses at the end because they were spread throughout the year.
Wow. MinFin will sell 124 bn rubles worth of foreign currency and gold from the National Wealth Fund due to a huge budget gap in December. The reason is that Urals fell to $44 a barrel in November, per Ministry of Economic Development. 🔥

This is good signaling from European leadership towards the American one, but I sure hope they can walk the walk that comes with this talk.
The German magazine Spiegel obtained information showing the deep distrust the French, German and Finnish governments have in regards to the current US administration when it comes to the Ukraine policy.

Lepton is the official name for Valve's version of Android on Linux compatibility layer, based on Waydroid.

This is similar to Proton, which is Windows on Linux, based on Wine.

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again..

These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it.

EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState
