Translation: “it’s so permanent that we are screwed”

Except the Kremlin has made the internet unreliable so people are returning to cash payments which only supports the shadow economy.

Car accident or a car “accidentally” exploding ?

It gives a good upper boundary I suppose.

Was he the one that got arrested way back at the start of the war ?

I’m honestly really interested in which big backer(s) Prigozhin had to give him the confidence to march on Moscow. To go against the others, Putin and Shogu’s military. It’s like flipping a monopoly board where all the players are pointing guns at each other.

Still here 🫡 Valuable knowledge for those of us who are interested in the true clans that control Russia. Sometimes those interests aren’t clear until the manure hits the spinny thing.

Huge variation in Russian mortality rates 1984–94: artefact, alcohol, or what? According to published data, between 1984 and 1994 mortality rates in Russia initially underwent a rapid decline followed by an even steeper increase.…

One of the few studies on the USSR with decent data is the correlation between economic down turn and male deaths via alcohol cofactor. Old habits die hard (no pun intended). So don’t be surprised if we see more of this type of headline as things get worse

Hubris of the Russian elite thinking that climate change only had upsides for Russia. Say hello to new diseases! I’m glad they decided to add extra to their 2026 health budg…. Oh no.

The red and black really improve the aesthetic of the port 🤔

Doesn’t FMD also affect pigs, sheep and goats ?

$500 is very good compared to the prices I’ve seen. Solid light weight frame is perfect.

Yeah I am, fuel prices are wild but I got rid of my bike years ago and now full of regret

Ooooooh guuuurl that is a sweet looking bike! How much did it set you back? I’ve been sussing a bike too but second hand ones are $1000+ 😭

My second favourite part of the CBR rate meetings is this translator.

Still the same I reckon, the next person isn’t going to have that cumulation of power yet. Means the clans will have a bit more leash to gather their own power to position themselves

Changes of institution leaders, businesses getting yoinked, CEO/owners falling from windows and cumulating into lawlessness during the transition. Gathering economic/political power to dominate during the next administration. The best opportunity for it.

I think we would see a lot of activity from the political/oligarch clans. A lot of these groups are ex-KGB so they’ll fall back on previous successful actions during the USSR collapse. They’ll grab institutions and businesses, loot and run. Install pawns to set the political board.

Scurvy is just a NATO psyop!

Lowkey loved this one 😅 it was so silly that it was enjoyable.

Didnt they just do a record repo ?

second truck skipped training and went straight to real world experience lol

What was the reason for Jompy quitting ?
