The ONE thing that place was good at was breaking global news. But not now.
See everyone here tonight.

The key statement for me is this one:
“The Russian colonization of Siberia and conquest of its indigenous peoples has been compared to the European colonization of the Americas and its natives, with similar negative impacts on the natives and the appropriation of their land."
And then the author adds:
"I hate ALL imperialism: American imperialism and Russian imperialism.”
Me too!

The status as of today is that in 2025, the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF 2025) is to be held in #Russia. If this country, ruled by ((already officially prosecuted)) #war #criminals , has just assumed the presidency of the #UNSC then I guess there is nothing inappropriate for it to host such a forum, right ?

Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.
(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

Tver of course has the other side too. Most of the malls seem to be half-deserted. This one is right in front of the train station - it even has McDonalds! But it clearly had better days. I am not sure if pandemic is to blame or it is general stagnation in smaller cities.
Children playgrounds look just like I remember them - covered in wild grass. In Moscow and Saint-Petersburg the most of them are paved with rubber or gravel and structures are made of soulless bright plastic.
Like many other smaller cities Tver got rid of the tram system because "trams got in the way of cars". Of course it backfired and now they are planning to restore it. For a few years there is no success.
Marriage Hall. It shares the building with apartment block which is kind of telling newlyweds what kind of future awaits them here.
This is Tver. I went there on the last day of long May holidays just to see how it was there. Here is view of Volga river which splits the city in two parts.
For some strange reason some of views reminded me of Vienna - although these two cities have very very little in common in every imaginable aspect.
The city was mostly quiet and empty, the center looking very pristine.
Again reminding me of some European cities I visited in the past.
I honestly don't know, Mattew. It puzzles me for years now. I mean there isn't much dissent even, let alone industry resistance. Some don't care, some think it won't touch them, some are all about "this too shall pass".
The peak of resistance was when they dropped PlayStation network by mistake while trying to block Telegram and teenagers joined the protest. It was good while it lasted and it had some results but it tells us something when you see kids coming out while adults (including professionals who literally depend on this sector) are sitting with dicks in their mouths.
Tomorrow Moscow closes seven central subway stations in anticipation of "illegal" protests. Also parts of city centre will be blocked for pedestrian access and surface transit will be diverted. Cafes and malls in the area will be shut down. Various government agencies keep warning that anyone joining protest action will be considered participating in public disorder.
Interesting day is coming...
leftists don’t actually have dumb conspiracies that are mainstreamUmm…the claim that #Trump colluded with #Russia? Masks and lockdowns combine effectively stop the spread of #COVID? #JoeBiden won the 2020 election? Three MASSIVE left wing conspiracy theories that are mainstream, and those were just the past four years.
