The ruble has collapsed in value and a ruble is currently worth about 2/3 of a penny. My partner has some money in Russia. I wish I had a deep cover crypto twitter just to see if I could con rubes (heh) into BUYING LOW. A week ago it was 80 per USD.

Orville Peck is a great country singer, and also gay. Here's a Youtube comment on his newest video:

Can you still say "flash in the pan, here today and gone tomorrow" if the guy's been around since 2019 and is only getting more popular? :shrug:

(Seriously, Orville Peck is fantastic. Check him out even if country ain't normally your thing.)

Does Orville Peck talk a lot about trans issues, or have chuds just decided that anything LGBT-adjacent must be relentlessly attacked on the basis of TWO GENDERS RAAAGH? Including just being regular-rear end gay?

Not in particular, to my knowledge. Which is made extra funny (jk, it's sad) by the fact that there's plenty of LGB (and sometimes even T, look at Blaire White) folks who also don't believe in nonbinary folks existing.

Like, a cis straight man could holler "THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS" and have a group of gay dudes or lesbians nodding in agreement.

That actually is happening though? Come Back Alive is an organization buying munitions that shows up on a lot of “here’s where to give to Ukraine” roundups like this one: https://www.wrdw.com/2022/02/28/what-tech-heres-where-you-can-donate-help-ukraine/

Ooh, you can also buy weapons from the Czech Republic for the Ukrainian military: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/new-crowdsourcing-campaign-can-help-save-ukraine/

Come Back Alive doesn't send loads of weapons and ammo, it focuses on a lot of things almost none of which are weapons. Including things like psychological counseling for ukrainian soldiers traumatized by their home being invaded, bombed, and shelled while they fight. It's biggest and closest thing to a weapon is crappy, commercially-available night optics and training. Which is still better than none. It's been operating since Russia started the war 8 years ago :)

I have recent in-laws who are russian, dropping poo poo like that knowing goons will not read it or investigate and immediately agree "oh yeah randoes are sending ukraine guns to kill russians" genuinely pisses me off." It's my family that are actually in danger of getting drafter into Putin's war. I still prefer the country defending itself.

The second is a specifically a czech thing and is as much bullshit as the thing it compares itself to, adopting your toddler a gorilla at the zoo. Hun ya didn't do poo poo and the poo poo Ukraine needs isn't loads upon loads of small arms and bullets. The shells are the one good bit. It's pure feel-good "plz donate and love us" by the czechs but of course already got a goon who knows nothing about it going "heheh yeah capitalism getem Putin those fuckin ukrainian nazis" because you know it's at most a skim and people are assuming it's at minimum stingers, javelins and fighters being crowdsourced for capitalism to nefarious purposes, instead of Ukraine begging for and being given them directly by and from governments, mostly excess stores and crap that was being given away anyway. Did you know the US armed nazi Zelenskyy? By giving Poland to-be-replaced old fighters Poland knows how to fly so Ukraine could get old polish MiGs ukrainians know how to fly?

It's even money if any comic about a lady is jerk-off material or not. The sad thing is that in the mid-2010s there was a really good version where she got a nice, classier costume and they even did a nice arc about her becoming a single mother after hooking up with a C-list supervillain.
I never expected that the idiots on social media thread would be where I learned who Bobby Hill's real mom is.
