Polish farmers protesting. The video is well worth watching. I wish them well. If enough of us kick and make trouble, perhaps we can avert the dystopia that the globalist elites and the climate alarmista have planned for us. God willing, we'll manage it before any serious economic disruption has come to pass.
It's enough to break my brain as well, that as loudly as the EU professes to see Russia as a terrible menace, they are more than willing to destroy their agricultural sector through cheap imports and over-regulation. If war does break out, you're going to see starvation in Europe.

I've finally managed to acquire a set of those beautiful gem-soloured anodized aluminium tumblers! When I was a child, those looked *so* Space Age to me, and now they still have that cachet, but now are Mid-Contury as well. I think those originally came out in the mid to late 50s ( AMNH concurs). I wanted some so badly as a child in the 60s, but we never got any (they were "tacky", that irrefutable complaint). By the time I was old enough to afford them for myself, they were gone. You'd see damaged and worn sets for sale in Goodwill, but that was it. Now I finally have them!
They're all lovely, but the red is my favourite, called Ruby Red, but in realiry a deep rose madder tint. I noted at the store that Ball (the canning company) now offers slightly squat aluminium tumblers in bare metal. I may get some of those and try to anodize them myself.

The EU have removed their unjust sanctions on Nikita Mazepin, although his career is already ruined.
