And this, my loyal serfs, is why losing control of the Black Sea matters. Back in 2022 at the end of the grain deal we said "we won't guarantee the safety of shipping in Black Sea". My trolls paid no attention when Ukraine replied "neither will we".

Which numbers at Canadiens are not big shoes to fill? The history of the franchise is full of legends. Hard to find a number that wouldn't carry a long history.

The graph rather shows the continuation of the trend that started in 2015.

Tout est dans la définition d'un besoin. Au-delà de la viande et des produits laitiers, des milliards d'humains ont vécu et continuent de vivre sans cacao, sans tabac, sans café, sans thé... Ça fait quelques hectares potentiellement.

On parle quand même d'une personne qui avait les moyens de mettre 800 000 euros dans une crypto monnaie il y a 12 ans. J'imagine que ce n'était pas 100% de ses économies... Donc potentiellement déjà un millionnaire ou multimillionaire.

It shows how strong the moat of social media is for established players. Phasing out of Twitter is taking more time and most people don't have the patience.

Examples in History are so much documented.
A sense of crisis unites a country behind the wrong and simplistic solutions of far left and far right.
