P.S. All this thanks to the stupid Russian imperialists and their very stupid leader Putler...! It's a good thing that Russia is run by a bunch of corrupt and greedy idiots!!! Anyone who fights against corruption in Russia is an enemy of civilization!!!! No sane head of state would have done all the stupid things this war criminal is doing under any circumstances!!!

Finland's accession to NATO dramatically improves the security of the Baltic states: 1) Finland covers the left flank of the Baltic states; 2) Estonia and Finland can easily block the Baltic fleet of the Russian orcs; 3) the attack of the Russian orcs on the Suvalki corridor is no longer able to block the supply of the Baltic states and NATO forces, 4) it is much more difficult for Russian orcs to organize attacks on Sweden and Norway; 5) Finland gains many Allies and safe reserves of military supplies...     etc. 

We look forward to Sweden joining NATO! In any case, it is already much more difficult and much more expensive for the Russian orc hordes to carry out any offensive operations in the Baltic region! With Finland's accession to NATO, peace has been significantly strengthened in Northern Europe.

The Russians are trying to destabilize the situation and organize open military attacks only against isolated (neutral) countries that do not have an effective collective defense system!

A little love letter to Madagascar 3

Madagascar 3 just stole my heart when I was a little girl. It pushed all the right buttons. It was funny, emotional and beautifully animated. I can’t believe it’s this long since the movie came out. Man I feel so old. It honestly made me fall in love with httyd3 and KFP3 because they are also very great, worthy finales to their respected franchises. So is Madagascar 3. This is were DreamWorks finales really started to really peaked after a bad start with Shrek the third. They somehow figured out to do a good ending to each of their stories. And Madagascar 3 is in my opinion a movie you will never forget when you watched it once.

Vitalys Story was amazing. It was not played off as a Joke or something else less serious. No they have taken his PTSD seriously and the moment were he jumps the hoop for the first time in years, was so fucking satisfying, especially because they had shown us the audience before we were cut to Vitaly. And don’t let me start on the Circus Performance Montage after, that was beautiful, a masterpiece. It was dynamic, vibrant, just candy for the eye. What I noticed was that this is actually the perfect conclusion to the Madagascar Story. Alex’s passion was to entertain the Zoo audience but now he’s found a new passion thanks to Gia and thanks to Marty, who without this whole trilogy wouldn’t be possible. Of course after they were stranded on Madagascar everything would change and they would recognize that they loved traveling around the world and have a life full of adventures, excitement and romance. Madagascar 3 is a Story about passion, found family, the feeling of being home and to overcome our fears and traumas. I honestly never thought that the funny Madagascar would go the direction into a mature content, that was really surprising even as a sensitive little kid.

Also I like to move it/Afro Circus will forever be the national anthem for the Madagascar Franchise, so is Test Drive for the httyd franchise.

P.S. Actually, this van was donated to Polish volunteers by Latvians to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine. The Latvian flag is visible on the right side. Don't worry, the Latvians will soon get a new van and the Russian imperialists will not be able to defeat the defenders of freedom...

🇵🇱 Two Polish volunteers who provided humanitarian aid in Donetsk region were injured. One of them is in serious condition.

In addition, 4 more people were injured as a result of the Russian shelling.

The volunteer organization reported that this was the 22nd trip of volunteers, and one of the Poles had been working in eastern Ukraine since 2014.

Arm Ukraine now!

[magratpudifoot]

I've been ruminating on a Disc Horse since some time last night, and I am rewarding myself with a piece of carrot cake for keeping out of it and just reading some books.

But...just checking in...do we all know what oppositional reading is? Where a consumer of a piece of art can come to a different conclusion about the meaning of that art than what the author intended? A different interpretation than what is commonly accepted as "right"? And that doesn't make the oppositional reader wrong, and in fact is totally fine and normal?

We all know this, yes?

It is very important to me that we know this.
