Exactly. They will probably send all the citizens they want to get rid of knowing that they will likely die. It’s a win-win for Rocket Man: he gets to eradicate any ‘inferior’ or ‘disloyal’ peons while ingratiating himself to Putin.

Considering all the ways they’ve been ridiculously incompetent in their invasion of Ukraine, I could actually see this incident being due to ineptitude.

She’s got the crazy eyes for sure.

Russia reminds me of the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He has all his limbs cut off by Arthur, to the point where he’s just a useless torso perched on the ground. But he’s still defiantly insulting Arthur and looking for a fight.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

He’s been listening to his pal Trump too much. But the pro-Russian contingent is less significant in the UK than it is in the US.

Dell announced a new return-to-office initiative earlier this year. In the new plan, workers had to classify themselves as remote or hybrid.

Those who classified themselves as hybrid are subject to a tracking system that ensures they are in a physical office 39 days a quarter, which works out to close to three days per work week.

Alternatively, by classifying themselves as remote, workers agree they can no longer be promoted or hired into new roles within the company.

Holy corporate oppression, Batman! That’s a shitty deal no matter which option you choose.

I’m glad they’ve got themselves into a sticky situation.

Also, this observation was funny (in a sad way):

One person said they’d spoken with colleagues who had chosen to go hybrid, and those colleagues reported doing work in mostly empty offices punctuated with video calls with people who were in other mostly empty offices.

Oh there’s still far too much adulation. All those Tesla bros, for example. Given what an insufferable turd Musk is, and the crumby reputation Teslas have, I don’t understand it. And I don’t think I ever will.

Nope, he can’t manage that. Because he’s an attention-whoring malignant narcissist.

I can’t wait for the bubble of mystique to pop on this arsehole, if only so we don’t have to ever hear from or about him again. Sadly, there are still plenty of rubes in his cult of personality and greedy investors willing to ride his coattails. So I’m not holding my breath.

His whole Western obsession/trope is getting really old. I wish they’d quit with these shitty western movies starring dollar store Eastwood.

Oh he was a total shitheel to so many different people. Very effective wartime leader, but a horrible human being.

That is a very fair point!

There’s already a strong emotional connection between Irish and Palestinian people (as shown by Ireland being one of the first European countries to officially recognize Palestine recently). Now there’s another association - Churchill and Netanyahu’s loathing for their respective people.

Comparing himself to Churchill defending the UK from the Nazis has got to be the shittiest analogy I’ve heard in a long time. You aren’t Churchill in this situation, Netanyahu. You’re the invader hell-bent on wiping out a population.

Awkward crab shuffling commences

A wizard never falls. He departs the stage precisely as he means to.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!

And sending their rusty old fishing boats, err, ‘battleships’… to Cuba.

Amazon really should be a defendant in this case. The counterfeiting situation with them (and some other online retailers) is a huge problem when it comes to products that can impact health and safety. And they need to be held accountable too.

The problem is that too often Amazon just dumps products of the same kind into bins in their fulfillment warehouse without sufficiently checking if some are counterfeit. This means buyers think they are purchasing a legit product, but it’s a coin toss whether they get an authentic one or whether they get a counterfeit item.

In favor of the ceasefire. But more in favor of letting Israel do whatever the fuck they want.

I like your suggestion. Use the psychological products of Western capitalism and the free market to counter the toxicity of the Russian state. I think it would work very well if we get the implementation right. Because right now Russia’s most effective enemy is themselves (more specifically: their self-loathing, self-sabotaging mindset).
