Our new episode, Fresh Z - Wankery, out now!
theeasternborder.lv/podcast/fres...
I go through telegram posts of various pro-war, pro-Putin public figures, looking at what they write about the recent developments in the war and the so-called ‘peace offer’. There are a lot of booze jokes too.

Yeah, I realized that. It's just that they just changed laws in my country, and folks got agitated. Sorry, this just caught my attention. Not sleeping and being overworked because of the war doesn't help. Best of luck to You, have a nice day!

Philosophy tube? Nice. Will check it out. I'm now starting a philosophy channel in Latvian, besides my journalism work - otherwise, local youngsters here think that Andrew Tate is a stoic. It's horrendous. Besides the usual weirdness, my philosophy degree was the best choice I've made in my life. :)

As long as the doggo is not kept attached to a chain 24/7. That's just inhuman. We made that illegal here in Latvia this year. But yeah, in public places with people around dogs have to be on a leash at all times. Thankfully, I have a pet snake now. And five tarantulas. And stick bugs. 😃

Oof. I'd be happy to, but the war has damaged my PhD process - I had to go to Ukraine to report and then, well, my professor died and now I'm at ground zero. I have a ridiculous amount of empirical data about Russian propaganda and troll methodics, need help with, well, applying to places.

Thanks, responded to this. I need to get my academia in order - worked on my PhD, then the war started, and had to do reporting in Ukraine, then, sadly my professor passed away...might be useful in an application, I think. At this point I want to get my PhD somewhere far away from Latvia anyways.

I can give it a shot. Have places to visit in Rotterdam, and this might look nice when the war ends and I can FINALLY try to get into academia proper again to get that PhD.

In this episode, I went on Quora to answer people’s questions about the war in Ukraine. Some of them were meaningful, but…well, there’s plenty of Putin’s trolls to go around. Enjoy!

Nice! I'm writing an article for them now as well. My aunt went to Russia for the article, so that I could grab some interviews via proxy - since I'm blacklisted and would be arrested instantly there. Journalism requires dedication.

This is my aunt. She went to St. Petersburg, Russia, where this picture was taken, so that I could interview actual Russians for my Foreign Policy Magazine article. We're dedicated to journalism over here. @beijingpalmer.bsky.social

Oh, and this is our merch store. All profits from the sale of Club of Angry Patriots hats (of which I am the trademark holder within EU) go towards helping Ukraine win the war!

...and? Sorry, I'm from Latvia. We have no issues with our cops here, so I am genuinely confused.

The People's Gun. Found on the flags of multiple countries and wielded by every self-respecting armed militia, radical terrorist organisation and revolutionary forces. So easy to use, that a kid can shoot it - and many do! The story of Автомат Калашникова.

This looks amazing, and I really hope they approve my scholarship appplication. Otherwise, the ticket price is 250 eur - which is totally worth it, however, I also need to plan my next Ukraine trip and that's a lot of money :(

Greetings, Comrades! I had given up on Twitter clones, but then I was informed that @beijingpalmer.bsky.social is on this one, so it must be good. Glad to also see other important journalists here as well.
