Well, I mean they outsourced their leadership to Moscow, it's not surprising they are outsourcing everything else
Flagrant violations of international law aside, what a hilarious admission of weakness from a senator who oversees a bloated military better funded than the next three superpowers combined.

Putin believes Russia should be treated like a super power. Russia is a second tier nation, rapidly heading for "developing nation" territory, & it's entirely his fault
The problem with this is that in my unfortunate experience there are occasionally people (some bad, some just unwell) for whom "respect" simply means "never ever disagree with me" no matter how badly they behave or how unmoored from reality they become - and they are *impossible* to deal with!
Putin vows no more wars if West treats Russia with respect
Russia's leader said during a four-hour TV marathon that claims that an attack on Europe was planned were "nonsense".

Out of 5,748 mass shootings in the U.S. in the past, only 5 were committed by trans or non-binary people. Joe Rogan needs to stop taking horse dewormer and stop making crap up just to fearmonger and spread hate.

We had a children's book in our home that was basically about encouraging my sister to believe she could do any profession she wanted to, no matter what others say. Things like doctor, lawyer, firefighter.
This was the early 1970s.

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere
