I've been wanting to show this video for a long time, maybe it will open someone's eyes that a special operation is taking place in Ukraine for a reason, they are paying for their sins

I tried to translate the text from the video, but there may be inaccuracies, I will try to explain everything in places where there are questions with the translated text

"There is no fascism"

When they shouted "Russians on gilyak",

Back then, relatively long ago,

And in Kharkov, without announcing an attack on Rymorskaya, they shot at the guys – so prosvita cleaned the "scoundrels"

, It was unclear to you whose retinue this was?

Nothing hurt the elite, but the choice was made and the map was shot down,

You did not regret the opponents of the Maidan who were imprisoned for months, or even for many years, after all.

"THERE IS NO FASCISM"

When people were burned on the second of May, who stood peacefully for their rights,

The sleepy crowd was not outraged, their tails tightly tucked in from fear,

When Lugansk was unexpectedly bombed,

When Donbass was silenced and suppressed,

And it lasted for eight whole years,

Did you believe that there is no fascism in the country,

When they organized marches, under the proud cry of the SS "Galicia",

The country was not shaken by the abomination,

And someone got used to it and became covered with falsehood,

When fascists robbed, tortured,

When someone's wives were raped,

Even if you didn't experience it yourself,

But didn't you understand,

That it was a fascist battalion?

And for the alley of angels in Donetsk, where a child's voice still hovers,

Didn't it hurt you when suddenly,

A brave someone, breaking the circle, decided to stop the fascist infection,

For some reason, you turned pale immediately, rage and fright appeared in you,

We have no fascism – there is no need for salvation!

We didn't drink much poison, for pity's sake, there's no point in invading...

That was your decisive answer,

But sometimes, opening a vein with a knife,

We have to eliminate gangrene,

So that the blackness does not hide the white light.

P.s. Людей, которые поймали пропаганду от украинских СМИ слушать под этим постом не стану, имейте ввиду.

P.s. I will not listen to people who caught propaganda from the Ukrainian media under this post, keep in mind.

2023 / 38 - Brief compromise edition

Aperçu of the Week:

"Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer."

(Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish writer of the Victorian age, author of classics like "Treasure Island" or "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde")

Bad News of the Week:

The classic plot from a scary science fiction movie: an alien species invades your homeland, takes over, and displaces the resident species. Of which only a few remain, because they hide themselves particularly well. Meanwhile, that's exactly what's happening here and now: Invasive species. Which, due to climate change (or stupidity - but let's leave aside those who smuggle in a baby crocodile in their in-flight luggage), are encroaching on biospheres that are surrendering virtually without a fight due to lack of time to adapt. We already have the first ecosystems tipping. The raccoon is one of my all-time favorite animals. But actually, the cute little crook has not to be in Germany. Just as little as the tiger mosquito, the camper crab or the red fire ant. They not only displace native species, but also bring parasites and diseases that we can't handle here. The dengue fever outbreak at Lake Garda could be just the beginning.

Good News of the Week:

Ukraine is making progress in reclaiming its homeland. Although experts (true and self-proclaimed) disagree on whether the long-awaited counteroffensive is going according to plan, one thing to note is that terrain gains have been made only by Ukraine for weeks now. The highlight of the last few days: the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol in the Crimea was severely hit and partially destroyed. Since it is or was the nerve center of the Russian "special operation," this could actually be a turning point.

Personal happy moment of the week:

On Friday evening I was at the "Wiesn" - vulgo Oktoberfest. And it was fun. With colleagues who had fun. Danced on the tables without falling down. Drank a lot but not too much beer. Talked a lot but hardly at all about their work. It's nice to be positively surprised. Thank you.

I couldn't care less...

...that Rupert Murdoch is stepping down. At the age of 92. The Australian mogul has taken the political impact of the media to a new level. Trump or the Brexit would not have been possible without the tendentious continuous fire from his journalistic cannons. It is unlikely that his son who succeeds him will change course or even return to the real roots of serious journalism: critical reporting based on objectivity and neutrality.

As I write this...

...I am dog-tired. Because a special project for the boss is keeping me unexpectedly busy for a long time, I'm currently not only overworked, but also late with my blog. And I have to shorten it, otherwise it won't work out at all this week. Sorry.

Post Scriptum

In less than two weeks there will be an election in Bavaria. That the government will continue to be led by the conservative CSU (Christian Social Union) is no question. The only thing that will be interesting is how it performs - especially in comparison to its previous and designated coalition partner, the Free Voters. Prime Minister Markus Söder has never left any doubt that he wants to continue in this "bourgeois coalition." And he is fighting primarily against the Greens, whom he ruled out early and definitively as a potential partner. The party proves him right: with 96.6%, he was re-elected as party chairman on Saturday. That can be seen as a deliberate manifestation of the status quo. Without any vision. And aligned with the supposed will of the voters, who see migration as a four times bigger problem than climate change. Well, every nation gets the government it deserves. One day we will have to look at ourselves in the mirror. And admit that we have made it too easy for ourselves.

*an in-game contradiction between Gortash and Durge. See: ‘Test Mission with Gortash’ and ‘Memoir Notes with Recent Addenda’. I’ve placed it after, but there’s also a legitimate argument to be made that Gortash and Durge met and became allies much earlier, possibly around the same time as Gortash’s betrayal of Karlach

Ballet versus Brutality

There are, I would posit, few who not only love ballet but also appreciate its art form. I was among those who knew little or cared less for such beauty and art as I now appreciate it. In my years as a professional photographer, in an industry I was considered to be near its pinnacle, I photographed for a man who in his day had been, not only a top dancer, but had also immersed himself at the…

Something I like a lot in arknights character design is how the Siracusan lupo tend to have these cool, spooky, very brightly colored eyes:

(more visible in her e2 art for Lunacub)

Red, Provence and Horn sooort of have similar looking ones if you look at them right

Texas' family lost them when they moved to Columbia though, i guess. Sad

It's a fun little shared design detail, I like to think that most lupo's eyes like, reflect light in a spooky way. Fun to think about.

#arknights #i sort of wish it was fully universal between all the lupo operators in the game but its cool how many characters share it regardless #a cool little treat for me #i like the thought that what makes the texas family eye color special is that their eyes are just kind of ordinary #compared to what everybody else in siracusa has going on #also i feel like they definitely reflect light the way animals eyes do in like car headlights

Link, Captain of the Royal Navy of Hyrule.

Mer!Wars

Name: Link Mand'el Waræ

Nicknames: Captain, Wars, pretty boy, playboy, Mr scarf, holey pants...

Age: 24

Height: 1,83m (6ft)

Occupation: captain of the ship The Hyrule Warrior

~~~⛴️~~~

Summary

Link Mand'el Waræ, the young captain. Son of the head of the Hyrule port captaincy, link had his name marked in the history of the Hyrule navy for assuming the position of captain at the age of 19.

Because of his affiliation, many doubt his competence, believing that the position was given to him due to political corruption, but Link never lets himself be shaken by such rumors, always willing to prove that he is worthy of the captain position.

~~~⛴️~~~

Personality

- Loves to tease his companions, especially when it comes to women

- He likes to maintain his appearance by always being tidy and formal (legend says it's narcissism...but it's just ocd due to his military position)

- He is proud, self-assured and may sound arrogant but is kind and has a good heart.

- Because of his pride, he doesn't like to be questioned especially when he is acting as captain, but he always pushes down and tries to be open-minded to different opinions.
