Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to watch an NBA game, which I hadn't done since the early 00's.
I'm used to eurobasket, so I have to be frank.
I have no idea what they're doing in the NBA these days, but that sure as heck didn't look like basketball to me, anymore.
Genuinely sad now.

I have struck digital real estate. Needed to make a proton acc for their vpn programme and andrejsons@proton was free. What's even more, adrejsone@proton was ALSO free. A clean, pretty, surname only email is a thing to behold. Happy family stuff, I say. :D

Haven't slept for a long while. Also, cold. But I just sent in my draft to Foreign Policy Magazine and you'll get an article about Kremlin's Anglo-Saxon obsession.

This is a brand new level of weird even for Lukashenka.
Lukashenko with some top-class advice:
"You smear all sorts of infections on your face, somewhere else in your body with honey, if someone goes to the steam room, and so on, but the best way for women to preserve their beauty is to take a shovel and actively clear snow."

Good morning from The Eastern Border. We've just had the most brutal winter night of the year. This is my bedroom window. Afraid to check the kitchen from where I can see how much snow I'll be cleaning after my morning coffee.
