Second season is mostly done too, so I am sure it will pop up on Netflix or Hulu. Hell, maybe Disney+ will package it next to The Orville.

Wife picked up Stick of Truth and some other South Park game bundle on sale. I’m really enjoying it, surprised me. I remember her playing it while she was pregnant with our first kid way back when but not giving it a chance.

It's bizarre because they won't air these shows on TV so most channels are effectively just constant reruns of TV/movies but they still don't have the patience to put them on streaming networks either. Just an absolutely bizarre way of doing business and it's like, no loving wonder the writers are striking.

So the main Russian mercenary group (Wagner group) in Ukraine is either launching a coup attempt against Putin or it's an extremely convincing Ukrainian propaganda attempt at sowing confusion that has led to an arrest warrant for the head of said mercenary company

Yeah I've been following this since last night and the narratives flying around are extremely weird and none of this makes any sense.

The head of the Wagner group (Prigozhin) is beefing with one of the top Russian generals (Valery Gerasimov) apparently who hes blaming for a missile attack on Wagner forces.

-Some media outlets are saying they were hit because of (from a russian perspective) cowardice and don't want to be there.
-The other narrative is that the mercs couldn't advance from their position because they were low on ammunition and other supplies and this general saw it as a chance to hurt the Wagner group and it's leader.
-Russia is saying they didn't strike at the Wagner forces at all and there's rumors it was actually the Ukraine / partner forces that did it.

Then there's
-talk that Wagner wanted to stage a coup
-Wagner didn't try to stage a coup and they wanted a show of force to force Russia's hand and arrest those responsible so they can have "justice"


To be perfectly honest without being a native Russian speaker - it's kind of impossible to parse what the gently caress has actually happened but I find both cases
1. It's a psyop and russia didn't bomb its own aux merc force because sewing confusion and fracture in enemy forces is just a good idea
2. The Russians have generals they can't fully control who hate Wagner leadership who bombed em out of spite/cowardice/whatever and its opened a crazy can of worms

Not that crazy all things considered.

There is some Q conspiracy level stupidity thats saying Russia is pulling the strings and its a fake fight hoping to draw Ukraine forces into over extending in some kind of "trust the plan" bullshit. The real thing is though that the botfarms are firing the gently caress up pushing either one of the two above narratives like crazy today and we probably won't know whats actually going on for a little while.

Edit: Just to be clear though, The Kremlin has said what Prigozhin reportedly said amounts to calling for Mutiny. There's questions over the veracity of the statement from the Wagner leader at all though because the audio of the statement was taken from a loving telegram channel's voice message and can't be properly verified and people are questioning the audio - hence my "without being a native russian speaker" comment, because I could listen to the recording all day and not know what he's saying and or if it fits with how the dude would normally say it.

Edit 2: Even the best news sources at the moment can't verify if there has been movement at all from Wagner forces but they have verified that Moscow has increased the presence of national guard and police and is at a heightened state of readiness but that would make sense for either scenario.

I feel like there's also the exceedingly small possibility that Putin is looking for an excuse to sue for peace with lines more or less where they are now and build his forces back up for a few years.

But really our only sources of information for any of this right now are the Russian Press (which is the Kremlin), the Russian Army, which is not exactly the most reliable source of information, and the leader of the freaking Wagner group. We just don't and can't know anything yet, there's no independent verification of anything so far from what I can tell.

e: beat me to it with your edit. It does appear that something is going on, we just have no idea what and cannot at the moment.

Putin has been pretty one note on his message that he wants the previously negotiated deal to be re established ensuring their security and protection of ethnic Russians.

He even publicised the peace deal Turkey brokered before the invasion that Boris Johnson torpedoed at the 11th hour.

The Russian hegemony argument is never one that made any sense but I see why the western media liked pulling on the reins of "he's literally Hitler!!!!!" Or "he wants to re-establish the USSR" for those member Berry dont question how this conflict got so bad feels.

If Russia had overthrown the Canadian government twice in ten years using neo nazi militias, threatened to kick the united states military off it's bases in Alaska and killed between 5,000 and 20,000 people while pouring weapons, equipment and trainers into the country you wouldn't think the United States military might cross the border and might have a crack at the puppet in charge?
