Watching del Torro's Pinocchio. Visually this is great! Story is only a bit disjointed. I have, however, never wished for Frank Wildhorn to be the musical director. Until now.

I'm about halfway through Red Notice and I'm still not sure that it's not a Killing Eve fan-fic with Ryan Renolds' character as the reader.

Anytime YOUR government says that Ukraine is asking too much of the world, remember these things:

1. The world knew the invasion was coming and offered no support other than "yikes you should get your government out of the country"

2. For WEEKS we just watched. WEEKS. Russian soldiers killed and raped and executed and razed Kyiv's surroundings for W E E K S, and all we sent were journalists.

Ukraine fought the Russian war machine alone, drove them out of the capital, provided evidence of Russian war crimes, THEN we sent assistance.

3. We didn't even send anything they actually asked for until we were 99% certain Russia wouldn't be able to get back to Kyiv this year.

We left a country for dead. We said "look, this is what Putin does. Sorry 🤷🏽"

If Ukraine asks us to invent new planes that fly at light speed, let's start the research. If Ukraine says they need 1000 howitzers so they don't have to see another 5000 civilians die, we should send them 1,000,000.

Idc why you think the issue is complex. Idc what you think is wrong with Ukraine. We left them for dead. Hundreds of children's deaths (some under a year old), thousands of other civilian deaths, and at least that many again injured. TENS OF THOUSANDS kidnapped and deported to Russia. And that's just what is internationally confirmed.

We left them for dead. We owe them. You were pro-war throughout the entire middle east US invasion, but now you say we need to scale back war spending? You boast about your country's colonial past and say that Ukraine needs to fend for themselves? Fuck off

Ukrainians being bamfs, issue 2

The State Agency of Automobile Roads of Ukraine asks citizens to help take down road signs so that the invading Russians would have a harder time finding their way around. The post is accompanied by a photoshopped picture of a road sign that says “Fuck off.” “Fuck off again.” “Fuck off all the way to Russia.”

The public decides it’s actually a great idea and installs the updated road signs:

(I hope that the hardworking social media managers of every state agency get a bonus after providing the much needed comic relief.)

A hipstery recycling company hands over their stash of empty bottles for Molotov cocktails:

*

Former Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman posts a DIY-style video explaining how to make a Molotov cocktail:

*

The *fucking police* explaining how to make a Molotov cocktail. That’s the police reform we didn’t know we needed.

*

Ukrainian ambassador at UN security council: “I will ask all of you to dedicate a moment of complete silence to pray, or to meditate if you do not believe in God, for peace. […] And I invite the Russian ambassador to pray for salvation.”

*

More unarmed civilians blocking tanks. The woman is saying: “Just say that you are for peace. I know you are in the military, but can you say that you are for peace? You don’t want to talk to us, but we are asking you to do that.”

Thanks to everyone checking in. The war caught me outside the country, so I’m safe, just devastated and panicking. I’m going to leave a bunch of videos of Ukrainians being bamfs here, mostly for when I myself need reminders not to lose hope.

Ukrainian soldiers telling a Russian warship to go fuck itself:

(It’s not even the go-fuck-yourself part that gets me, it’s that resigned “Well, that’s it. Should I tell him to go fuck himself?” “Yeah, for good measure.” They know what’s coming. They still do it.

Initial reports said that all the defenders of the island were killed, but there’s still tentative hope that they might have been taken prisoner? I’m praying to every divinity that I don’t even believe in that that’s the case.)

An unarmed lady confronting Russian occupants with this epic putdown: “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all fall here.”

In possibly the most surprising plot twist of the season, our president grew a spine and competence:

A bunch of unarmed villagers stopping Russian armored vehicles. Unarmed people seeing armored vehicles on their street and running towards danger, not away from it.

This Ukrainian soldier addressing Russians with absolute manic glee: “Is the Ukrainian night quiet, as the great Ukrainian writer Gogol said?” (attaches a silencer) “What do you think: what’s rustling in the bushes, my guys? What thoughts do you have about that?”, and on and on:

A Ukrainian driver asking the personnel of a Russian tank if he should tow them back to Russia:

If you liked what you saw here and would rather get more videos like this than funereal news about Ukraine falling, you, too, could help to crowdfund Ukrainian army/medical teams/humanitarian relief efforts. Here’s a list of charities doing that. They are all legit, and have been doing good work since Russian aggression began in 2014.

*walks up to the stand and rustles a stack of papers* Ahem…. *pulls the microphone a little too close to my face* Fuck Putin. That is all. Thank you.

Reminder to not do either of these things. Like seriously.

stop “shipping” real people society has never had the need to “ship” real people

Towering Plumes of Volcanic Smoke Mix With Streaks of Lightning in Photographs by Francisco Negroni

[lil-fox]

Even Midwest US thunderstorms ain't got shit on this

Dirty thunderstorm

A dirty thunderstorm (also volcanic lightning, thunder volcano) is a weather phenomenon that is related to the production of lightning in a volcanic plume.

A study in the journal Science indicated that electrical charges are generated when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in a volcanic plume collide and produce static charges, just as ice particles collide in regular thunderstorms.

Volcanic eruptions are sometimes accompanied by flashes of lightning. However, this lightning doesn’t descend from storm clouds in the sky. It is generated within the ash cloud spewing from the volcano, in a process called charge separation.

Nothing says being back working in a theatre quite like cursing at ministrips.

Thank you kind one for actually obeying the traffic laws and stopping at that red light. Also know if you had gone an inch further into the crosswalk I would have no problem punching your windshield out.

i always give a lazy two finger salute when cars stop for me at a crosswalk and it's devolved so much that at this point I feel like an icon of jesus whenever I cross the street

Just a reminder that Texa’s newest abortion law makes no exceptions for any form of rape.

[lil-fox]

Yes, there should be an organized boycott of Texas.

And yes, we definitely need to acknowledge that in sO many ways, the GOP is as extreme and as dangerous as the Taliban—and we need to recognize this fact without unconsciously resorting to Islamophobia; without whitewashing how dangerously racist and misogynistic American Christian fundamentalism is.

Them: Make me a street lamp with LED tape.

Me: Ok!

Also Me: I will make it capable of being one of THOSE street lamps. 😈

[lil-fox]

Ahhh yes! Kateryna Pavlenko. The Eldritch Being of many voices. And traffic cones. Don't ask. Just put them on your head.

Look at the harnesses on the Nazgûl' horses. Notice the Eye of Sauron? Now, look at the eye motif on Katya's top.

Proof positive of one of three possibilities:

a) Katya is a Nazgûl (and you thought they were all hideous under there)

b) Katya is Sauron in disguise

c) Sauron was Katya in disguise

Does this mean the techno frisbee things are two of the Rings? Where are all the others? Who is in possession of the One Ring? And who among us fan folk is going to write a genre-bending fanfic about it? (Okay, maybe not the fanfic. RPF is dicey territory to stray into. I'd happily write a treatment for a Go_A music video, however.)
