I'm guessing the Night Wolves are that biker gang Putin used to be seen with.

But a wine glass, though? Surely there's other non-drinkers in political circles, and surely they don't, like, sip water from a wine glass.

They're better for toasting and they clink nicely against other glasses

Is it not commentary on how Neil treated her?

Yeah I read it as she was callously tossed aside by Neil.

You can't talk about him without posting his first viral stupidity. Like that lady with the nephew ARMY who died three times to tunnels on the USA / Mexico border this was very funny until you realised it wasn't a joke.



That activated alomnds article was about 6 years ago, I wonder what Pete is eating the days? Pseudoscience moves pretty quickly so his diet is probably even weirder now

What compels that screaming? Like I’ve never felt a need to respond to a celebrity being in my vicinity by just screaming at the top of my lungs.

I heard an interview with someone who researched fandom in young girls, and her basic point was that girls at that age are just starting to take an interest in (usually) boys, and a certain kind of non threatening male provides a kind of risk free first relationship for them. They latch on super hard because in a way it's their first love and they aren't used to the new emotions and don't know how to express them

I believe this is the documentary she made

*edit*
Also parasocial relationships with youtube celebrities are really easy to form because they're generally looking and talking right at you personally and they have many hours of content

I really wish this had been made before that bit in Buster Scruggs where the boy being hanged gave the girl in the audience that certain look

So non-threatening with that hemp necklace and the yuge death boner

I have no idea what that means
I have Buster Scruggs on my list, will definitely have to find time to watch it now

Genuinely curious. I don't want birds to go away, but if birdsong disappeared.... meh.

I really like the sound of it and would miss it if it wasn't there

Yeah, maybe it's not so weird as I thought on initial read, but I do think it would introduce an odd dynamic in the relationships between each of the four people involved. I hope things work out for them, it's just always gonna be a bit different than going with an unrelated surrogate.

In Australia IVF legally comes with a bunch of counseling for everyone involved before any procedures take place, obviously some problems can still happen but hopefully everyone involved at least knows what the issues are likely to be
At least in Victoria, not sure about the other states

This had better set a more far-reaching precedent.

Everyone telling musk to gently caress off would be good

It would also be good if insults and swearing became the language of international diplomacy.

Are the tribes still around? If we ever decide to relocate our billionaires I've got a modest proposal...

I'm pretty sure there are tribes in PNG that eat deceased people as part of funeral rites. Sometimes they get scary diseases
