It’s interesting that the word “sanctions” isn’t mentioned even once. Working in a financial institution I’ve seen first hand the insane the lengths USA goes to force everyone to fuck over this poor country. North Korea has it better but I guess that’s because of the nukes.

Must be that evil socialism that caused so much human suffering, eh, The Atlantic?

Sequel sucked though.

It’s been a terrible time to be a Star Trek fan for years now but this just sucks. At least he’s seen it all* and therefore can rest in peace.

Small Prophets made me watch The Detectorists. Man, what a blast. Barely anything of significance happens, the stakes are low, yet you understand why things are big deal for the characters and you root for them as if it was a football match where your team is playing. It’s kind of like a Ghibli film in a way there’s no real villains, which is always interesting as a way to create stories.
