Finland knows Russia's real name. And it's not Rus. The Finns never accepted it when Moscow dukes, seeking respectability, started calling themselves Rus'—a name belonging to the people of Kyiv, and, before that, to ancient rowers from what is now Sweden. And so in Finland,

Putin: “We have this old rule: wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, it’s ours.” He’s not even pretending to hide his imperialism. Contrary to what Trump and others claim, this war was never about NATO expansion

As an author--and as a human being--I find this depressing.

Christopher Walken says Bugs Bunny is one of his favorite actors. He told Ben Stiller that "A lot of times I’ve played roles as if I was Bugs Bunny... but nobody knew"

My dad had one of these at work (in Czechoslovakia) and I took it a few times as a child. Gave me nightmares.

I'll stop with these soon, I promise. But their words are nice.

The so-called self-esteem movement of the 1980s and 1990s largely backfired. It aimed to cultivate healthy confidence in children but often ended up encouraging narcissism instead. Rather than teaching kids to associate self-worth with effort and achievement, it showered them

This sort of outrage—as rational as it sounds & as much as I share its frustration—fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the police. Like every business, police have both revenues & costs: 1. Stupid tickets are revenues. 2. Solving real crimes is an expense. Catching a

There is a hilarious thread where russians are talking with Grok about Ukraine. It's so funny that I want to share it with a wider audience. It is in russian, of course so I will put screenshots from it here. Enjoy 😊 🧵 1/
