  • Summer is here

    And that means it is berry season.


    Does anyone have any good recipes for toasted Wildberries? I hear they are popular in Russia these days.

      I've never seen the musical, but that lyric always puzzled me; it's supposed to be about poor black people in the South about a hundred years ago. I was under the impression that "the cotton is high" was not associated with easy living under those circumstances. Just looked it up and, per some probably-untrustworthy bot-written articles, the cotton harvest begins in autumn in most regions. So that lyric would basically be saying, "enjoy it while you can; in like two months this is going to suck so bad." Thanks, sketchy bots!

          They say it's part of the Russian infrastructure/logistics chain which has also certain military uses.

          Dunno if that's the case, but what it certainly is aiming for is to bring the war closer to ordinary Russians without just attacking residential areas at scale directly, which is what Russia has been doing repeatedly.

            It's not just clothing.




            Plus it brings the war home to Russia's richest woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatyana_Kim



            By making the oligarchs unhappy with Putin's war Ukraine may cause internal political pressure on Putin to negotiate an end to the war rather than simply repeating his demands like a demented toddler.
