Wagner is back, bad weather, Avdeevka and Lyman hot spots. Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in action.
It’s vanished though, right?
If people die by the hundreds every day and no one gives a fuck anymore, does it even happen?
Ukraine is so last year daaahling, it’s all Israel these days.
"Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events
And isolation is the oxygen mask
You make your children breathe in to survive
But I'm not a slave
To a god that doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave
To a world that doesn't give a shit
And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds
Fight, fight, fight, fight."
- Marilyn Manson's 'Fight Song'
You may well get a Manson morning going in my house yet.
Watched The Platform last night as i try and watch as much Spanish language stuff as i can to help with the language. Pretty powerful!
I expect it will be remade by several countries. Super glad you watch. Nice to share things underneath the highway.
Another Spanish sci-fi is 'Timecrimes', better than the trailer appears - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XuWoe9NSic
