Sot nderojmë veprën e Azem Hajdarit, një hero i vërtetë që sakrifikoi rininë për rrëzimin e regjimit më të egër komunist, dhe për të mbrojtur parimet e lirisë, demokracisë dhe drejtësisë 🇦🇱 Trashëgimia e tij politike na frymëzon për të guxuar dhe luftuar më tepër për këto parime.

Nothing extraordinary. Just a "Cooking girls" competition organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences in the student residence of the National University of Uzbekistan. Well, I have some comments, but today I prefer to think about depletion of social reproduction in 🇺🇿.

Anastasia Ivleeva was fined about $1100 for organizing a "naked party" in Moscow According to the court, she violated public order with her event: there was LGBT propaganda, foul language and naked people in a public place.


I've been taking some time (offline) to enjoy Hannukah and Christmas. This (of course) meant turning down a lot of party invitations & I was really sorry to miss this one. Fair to say Prighozhin was there (in spirit): youtu.be/hoqD_ELpVyg @bneeditor

King Tvrtko is a figure with whom nationalist Serbs and Croats as well as Bosniaks and other pro-BiH Bosnians and Hercegovinians identify. Which makes him a highly unifying figure. So why would anyone condemn the erection of his statue in Sarajevo as 'nationalistic' ? 🤔

The fact that anything is happening at all speaks volumes about the link btwn our values & energy politics. West is not values driven (well, a bit) but self interest driven. Like everyone else. Wouldnt it be better to admit this?

For the same reason US athletes who didn’t denounce iraq libya somalia afghanistan or the sanctioned use of US torture etc etc are allowed to compete Sport is not political. Or shouldnt be. Not every athlete is a soldier

Why are Russians, who have not denounced the invasion, even allowed to compete in international sporting events?

… and the depth of europes exons is what makes them more sensative to sanctions boomerang effects. Low reserves, high debt & high leverage. Works great in peacetime but is a liability in war time. We passed point where sanctions do more harm to EU than they do to Russia.

🇩🇪🇨🇳 - Germany is (by far) the EU economy that would have most to lose from decoupling • Total exports and affiliates' revenues in China represent ~10% of Germany's GDP • By comparison, US's exposure to China is more than half lower, at ~4% of GDP
