Watching del Torro's Pinocchio. Visually this is great! Story is only a bit disjointed. I have, however, never wished for Frank Wildhorn to be the musical director. Until now.

Watching del Torro's Pinocchio. Visually this is great! Story is only a bit disjointed. I have, however, never wished for Frank Wildhorn to be the musical director. Until now.
I'm about halfway through Red Notice and I'm still not sure that it's not a Killing Eve fan-fic with Ryan Renolds' character as the reader.
Anytime YOUR government says that Ukraine is asking too much of the world, remember these things:
1. The world knew the invasion was coming and offered no support other than "yikes you should get your government out of the country"
2. For WEEKS we just watched. WEEKS. Russian soldiers killed and raped and executed and razed Kyiv's surroundings for W E E K S, and all we sent were journalists.
Ukraine fought the Russian war machine alone, drove them out of the capital, provided evidence of Russian war crimes, THEN we sent assistance.
3. We didn't even send anything they actually asked for until we were 99% certain Russia wouldn't be able to get back to Kyiv this year.
We left a country for dead. We said "look, this is what Putin does. Sorry 🤷🏽"
If Ukraine asks us to invent new planes that fly at light speed, let's start the research. If Ukraine says they need 1000 howitzers so they don't have to see another 5000 civilians die, we should send them 1,000,000.
Idc why you think the issue is complex. Idc what you think is wrong with Ukraine. We left them for dead. Hundreds of children's deaths (some under a year old), thousands of other civilian deaths, and at least that many again injured. TENS OF THOUSANDS kidnapped and deported to Russia. And that's just what is internationally confirmed.
We left them for dead. We owe them. You were pro-war throughout the entire middle east US invasion, but now you say we need to scale back war spending? You boast about your country's colonial past and say that Ukraine needs to fend for themselves? Fuck off

Ukrainians being bamfs, issue 2
The State Agency of Automobile Roads of Ukraine asks citizens to help take down road signs so that the invading Russians would have a harder time finding their way around. The post is accompanied by a photoshopped picture of a road sign that says “Fuck off.” “Fuck off again.” “Fuck off all the way to Russia.”
The public decides it’s actually a great idea and installs the updated road signs:
(I hope that the hardworking social media managers of every state agency get a bonus after providing the much needed comic relief.)

A hipstery recycling company hands over their stash of empty bottles for Molotov cocktails:
*
Former Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman posts a DIY-style video explaining how to make a Molotov cocktail:
*
The *fucking police* explaining how to make a Molotov cocktail. That’s the police reform we didn’t know we needed.
*
Ukrainian ambassador at UN security council: “I will ask all of you to dedicate a moment of complete silence to pray, or to meditate if you do not believe in God, for peace. […] And I invite the Russian ambassador to pray for salvation.”

More unarmed civilians blocking tanks. The woman is saying: “Just say that you are for peace. I know you are in the military, but can you say that you are for peace? You don’t want to talk to us, but we are asking you to do that.”
Thanks to everyone checking in. The war caught me outside the country, so I’m safe, just devastated and panicking. I’m going to leave a bunch of videos of Ukrainians being bamfs here, mostly for when I myself need reminders not to lose hope.
Ukrainian soldiers telling a Russian warship to go fuck itself:
(It’s not even the go-fuck-yourself part that gets me, it’s that resigned “Well, that’s it. Should I tell him to go fuck himself?” “Yeah, for good measure.” They know what’s coming. They still do it.
Initial reports said that all the defenders of the island were killed, but there’s still tentative hope that they might have been taken prisoner? I’m praying to every divinity that I don’t even believe in that that’s the case.)
An unarmed lady confronting Russian occupants with this epic putdown: “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when you all fall here.”
In possibly the most surprising plot twist of the season, our president grew a spine and competence:
A bunch of unarmed villagers stopping Russian armored vehicles. Unarmed people seeing armored vehicles on their street and running towards danger, not away from it.
This Ukrainian soldier addressing Russians with absolute manic glee: “Is the Ukrainian night quiet, as the great Ukrainian writer Gogol said?” (attaches a silencer) “What do you think: what’s rustling in the bushes, my guys? What thoughts do you have about that?”, and on and on:

A Ukrainian driver asking the personnel of a Russian tank if he should tow them back to Russia:
If you liked what you saw here and would rather get more videos like this than funereal news about Ukraine falling, you, too, could help to crowdfund Ukrainian army/medical teams/humanitarian relief efforts. Here’s a list of charities doing that. They are all legit, and have been doing good work since Russian aggression began in 2014.
*walks up to the stand and rustles a stack of papers* Ahem…. *pulls the microphone a little too close to my face* Fuck Putin. That is all. Thank you.
stop “shipping” real people society has never had the need to “ship” real people
Reminder to not do either of these things. Like seriously.
Towering Plumes of Volcanic Smoke Mix With Streaks of Lightning in Photographs by Francisco Negroni
Dirty thunderstorm
A dirty thunderstorm (also volcanic lightning, thunder volcano) is a weather phenomenon that is related to the production of lightning in a volcanic plume.
A study in the journal Science indicated that electrical charges are generated when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in a volcanic plume collide and produce static charges, just as ice particles collide in regular thunderstorms.
Volcanic eruptions are sometimes accompanied by flashes of lightning. However, this lightning doesn’t descend from storm clouds in the sky. It is generated within the ash cloud spewing from the volcano, in a process called charge separation.

Nothing says being back working in a theatre quite like cursing at ministrips.
i always give a lazy two finger salute when cars stop for me at a crosswalk and it's devolved so much that at this point I feel like an icon of jesus whenever I cross the street
car: stops for me at a crosswalk
me:
oh blessed art thou automobile for you have served the meek and humble. go on your way knowing your act of kindness has saved me 2 minutes on my trip to the bodega
Thank you kind one for actually obeying the traffic laws and stopping at that red light. Also know if you had gone an inch further into the crosswalk I would have no problem punching your windshield out.
Just a reminder that Texa’s newest abortion law makes no exceptions for any form of rape.
Yes, there should be an organized boycott of Texas.
And yes, we definitely need to acknowledge that in sO many ways, the GOP is as extreme and as dangerous as the Taliban—and we need to recognize this fact without unconsciously resorting to Islamophobia; without whitewashing how dangerously racist and misogynistic American Christian fundamentalism is.
Them: Make me a street lamp with LED tape.
Me: Ok!
Also Me: I will make it capable of being one of THOSE street lamps. 😈
Look at the harnesses on the Nazgûl' horses. Notice the Eye of Sauron? Now, look at the eye motif on Katya's top.
Proof positive of one of three possibilities:
a) Katya is a Nazgûl (and you thought they were all hideous under there)
b) Katya is Sauron in disguise
c) Sauron was Katya in disguise
Does this mean the techno frisbee things are two of the Rings? Where are all the others? Who is in possession of the One Ring? And who among us fan folk is going to write a genre-bending fanfic about it? (Okay, maybe not the fanfic. RPF is dicey territory to stray into. I'd happily write a treatment for a Go_A music video, however.)
Headcanon accepted.
And while we are on the subject of Kateryna-as-an-eldritch-something-or-other, the only reasonable justification of Go_A’s early, frankly horrible video with the other lead singer is if we accept it as Kateryna’s origins story.
Every once in a while, the Lady of the Lake comes out of the depths to save small bands from themselves by making their lead singer fall in love with a random forest dude and promptly taking her place to change the band’s whole aesthetic.
(“Didn’t we use to sing in a completely different style? Wasn’t our frontwoman a blonde?” Taras occasionally asks, trying to shake off the glamour.
“Never you mind,” hisses the Lady of the Lake.)
This isn’t headcanon. It’s straight up canon.
Casts all the lineup changes in an entirely new light though. Did they see through the glamour, thus facing Katya’s icy wrath? What happened to them, Katya? WHAT DID YOU DO??!!
“What did she do?” is one possible question.
“Why?” is another, but as people around the world are already humming an incantation to wake up Shum--siyu-siyu-siyu-siyu, they hum without even realizing it while they go about their daily business and don’t suspect that they are on borrowed time--it might be too late to ask that. Why do we assume Shum is a benevolent spirit of spring and revival? True, we have Kateryna’s word for it, but do you for one moment believe she has our best interests at heart?
So I wouldn’t say “don’t be afraid.” That ship has sailed. I want to wish us all good luck.
Yeah, and about the constantly changing lineup: were they looking for the right people?
Ihor is from a region that’s all bogs and old beliefs. His flute--and I’m not making up this part--is made from the tree under which Lesia Ukrainka, this famous writer from the early 20th century, used to sit. The tree was felled by a storm in the summer before Eurovision. How fortuitous. Now, this is where this gets fun. Lesia Ukrainka’s most famous drama is about a forest sprite that turns into a tree (not only about that, but I’m summarizing the relevant plot point). So yeah, I’m not saying that Ihor’s flute is made of bones of an old forest deity and sings in its voice, but I’m also not not saying it.
Oh, and Ivan is from the mountains, which are their own thing. I always assumed that he’s so quiet at press conferences because he has three young children, so Eurovision was his scheduled quiet time. But then, there are many things in the mountains that are silent.
Would she lie to us? Absolutely. That expression says it all. Now we see it. NOW WE SEE IT.
Why is the current lineup the best? Why do they have such incredible chemistry together? Because, as you so eloquently explained, they have finally assembled the ultimate unholy cryptid quartet, the four points of the eldritch compass, resulting in something grander and more mighty than the sum of its parts. They have magick and alchemy and the Ukrainian media on their side (except Ihor Kondratyuk , because Katya... disposed... of him).
Awww hell, we're in trouble.
Ahhh yes! Kateryna Pavlenko. The Eldritch Being of many voices. And traffic cones. Don't ask. Just put them on your head.
