A Casualty 0
Over the years, I’ve posted a number of images from a site named “All Things Amazing” (always attributing the source), a site based in Russia (the URL was a *.ru URL). I appreciated the webmaster’s love for the outre and the impish.
Today, this came into my rss feed. Note that, by the time you read this, the link may not work, or, at least, may not work fully.

“ATTENTION
On 10.03.2022, the site radikal.ru ceases to work.
From this date, videos and pictures will not be available.
To avoid losing your content, save it to your disk.”this will be the end of the legendary retro_dome and adski_kafeteri, because 90% of images in these communities were uploaded and stored on this photo-host.
if you don’t know who to thank for the holes instead of images in this community, write a collective letter of gratitude to Putin and his war.
but the holes in this community are incalculably easier to survive, than the holes instead of the windows of Ukrainian residential buildings, hospitals and schools.

It’s not much, but it is a straw at which to grasp in these troubled times.

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.
Once again, “responsible gun owner” is proven an oxymoron.

Methinks one can make a convincing argument that the new motto of Florida Republicans is “Do mo’ harm.”
“Great Caesar’s Ghost!” 0
I always associated that phrase with the old Superman television show starring George Reeves, in which it was often uttered by Perry White, Clark Kent’s editor at The Daily Planet.
I don’t know the origin of that phrase, but I just learned that it is much older than the 1950s, as it occurs in Mary Roberts Rinehart’s More Tish, which Rinehart wrote a century ago after her stint as a war correspondent in WWI.

Fly the fiendly skies and be sure to do so politely.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
If you can’t remember that you are packing heat, you’re too stupid to pack heat.
Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Thom talks with Kelly Weill about why persons are susceptible to conspiracy theories.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:
Only really weak, insecure, pathetic, or painfully obsequious individuals like Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump would admire and praise Vladimir Putin, a coward who hides from his own people, while sending troops to carry out bloody attacks on citizens of a friendly neighboring country. Such a person is not “manly”, but merely a sociopathic madman. The weaklings that admire him only do so because they believe they are powerful by association.
