As someone whose job involves walking through literally that exact type of very similar but slightly more modern infrastructure: Meh.

You know what actually maybe we should just ban cinemas. They are an obsolete institution that’s propped up by the fact that the movie industry is weird about awards.

No it’s because of UlyssesT’s legacy

My local cinema program for the rest of this month are children’s movies, opera, and a lecture on seaweed. Not a single horror movie. Horror is literally not even a category on their website.

How does this spam filter manage to filter literally just my messages from the hospital. Literally. Only. That.

I’m as certain that he is going to do that that I’m certain that the tax authorities are going to come after him if he doesn’t.

I don’t know is this is sarcasm, because this is the guy who just straight up stole money, got convicted of stealing, and then had a retrial where all the witnesses suddenly changed their stories

In Denmark it has officially been ruled in court that yes you can call a racist a racist in public. You can say “X person is racist and they have supported Y policy” if they are a racist who has supported that policy.

Kjeld. A character from the old Danish(/Norwegian) film series “Olsen Banden”. I am also named after him ,but I forgor about the silent J

They were also prolific oligarchs (That’s what we call rich people from that part of the world) in the late Russian empire. For instance they all but had a monopoly on oil in the country through their company Branobel. They sold their part in that company in 1920 (Yes)

“He invented dynamite -> Saw his obituary and it said he caused deaths -> Nobel prize to launder his reputation” is the story the Nobel family wants you to hear. And it’s not wrong that the Nobel prizes are for reputation laundering, and it is remarkable that they just out and admit that.
But the Nobels were prolific weapons dealers, their name is still on an arms manufacturer. He ran Bofors, nobel dynamite and a Scottish explosive company. His dad made his fortune selling sea mines to the Russian empire.

So wait is it a trans man they are respecting the gender identity of, or are they being transphobic about the shooter?

Sadly his cells are metastatic

… Listen, I needed pressure socks for a school thing. That doesnt count.

But i do this and im a boy?!?!?!?

Those are all valid thoughts concerning motherhood. And i think it would be great if you could have met your biological mother.

I don’t really know how to give useful feedback or talk about this deep subject meaningfully. So all I can say is that babies are the best.

As written on the walls of a nazi concentration camp

Wenn es einen Gott gibt muß er mich um Verzeihung bitten

Or in English

If there is a god he will have to beg my forgiveness

NP. I really like non-social realist soviet art so it’s cool to see other appreciator.

There’s like different schools of soviet lacquer art, pelekh is just one of them (Although IIRC it’s the one with typically the wildest stuff on it). Some of them are more into doing like miniature landscapes or scenes from fairy tales.

It was basically a form of maintaining the icon painting tradition as religion became less of a dominant force. People needed less icons painted, but people still needed little boxes of stuff.

Wait. Sorry. I’m being boring. I’ll stop there

I mean I think sometimes a diaspora can create versions of traditional foods that are very good, or make fusions of local food with their own cooking culture to create something really cool (Like Irish spice bags). You also sometimes have a culture adopt a type of food and make adjustments to it in ways that create a very nice dish (Like bahn mi being very good sandwiches, Japanese curry being its own whole culinary tradition, or how you don’t even think of vindaloo as a Portuguese thing).

The closest direct example I can think of is probably Italian pizza being incredibly overrated. (I FUCKING SAID IT COME AT ME FOOD FASCISTS)

I could imagine there being something like that in some European country. But definitely not Israel.

I know the etiquette is if you see someone shoplifting, no you didn’t., But what if they’re really bad at stealing? Like what if they’re being super obvious about it right next to a camera. Is giving some pointers ok? Or should I just stick to blocking the camera view?

boris and kaleria kurkuliev. They’re palekh artists so this likely went on cigarette cases or boxes, make up cases or as cutouts in magazines. (For the purpose of dyi decorating stuff like cigarette or makeup cases)
