A blowhard obfuscating a very simple and commonly understood message: clothes matter. They communicate your status, ideology, and alignments. The recent fiasco in the White House where Zelenskyy was criticized for not wearing a suit coupled with the protest image depicted above strongly suggests a commonly heard refrain around these parts:

This is a war between classes. Oligarchs/Plutocrats vs Workers.

And consequently Zelenskyy identifying with the working class is the real reason Trump is withdrawing support.

There's more to it I'm sure, but frankly, I can't be bothered when people vomit word salads instead of just saying what they mean. It is more important for them to 'sound' intelligent, than communicate their message so I give them what they want :P

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has firmly stated that Ukraine should be allowed to conduct long-range strikes inside Russian territory, despite threats from Moscow.

This stance comes in the wake of Ukrainian forces occupying parts of Russian territory for the first time since World War II, and Ukrainian officialls asking Western partners to remove restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons so that Ukraine can degrade Russia’s logistics and airfields in the rear and bring the war to an end faster.

“Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia’s continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war,” Trudeau declared at a news conference in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.

So, as was walking my two English Setters as I normally do when one of them decided to take a dump in my neighbours grass. They are young and not as well behaved as I'd like, but, did sit when I commanded so I went about fishing out the bags from my pocket. So happy was I that they had the sense to relieve themselves so close to home that I failed to appreciate why they were both fixated in the same direction.

Had I simply taken the time to see what they were looking at I'd have realized there was a new pair of dogs being walked around the corner across the street and had my guard up. Just as I stooped down to pick up their mess they both simultaneously launched themselves at full force to go meet the newcomers, taking me with them... No, seriously I was like a bobsled being dragged behind a team of huskies only instead of snow it was cement I was sliding over.

I let go of the leashes, yelled for them to come back (which they of course ignored) and got up to give chase. By the time I limped up to them they had happily made 4 new friends (2 of whom I thanked for grabbing their leashes). Went back and cleaned up the original mess and hobbled right back home to clean myself up.

Both my kneecaps are entirely covered in scab and the underside of my entire right forearm/palm had to be bandaged by Nurses and wrapped.

I am in so much pain right now.
