Putin Meets With Commanders as Zelenskyy Speaks of ‘Fair Peace’ [Bloomberg] I am eager to witness Ukraine’s victory in the region, and pushing Russian Forces back towards Russia. Unfortunately, flying drones into buildings within Russia will infuriate Putin in a matter where he might use nuclear weapons. I suggest, you simply work on a peace process and end the conflict, because while Russia seems weak, you know full well that Putin could literally push a button and immediately pulverize the entire Ukrainian country. Therefore, let both sides stop their #MilitaryIndustrialComplex fluffing, and focus on preventing another 20 year conflict in the Middle East, placing both East and West on upset behavior. #Diplomacy #Backchannels #UnitedNationsSpeaking

Russia launches massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, Kyiv says [Reuters] unfortunately, this is an expected response due to the calamity of a few berserk Ukrainian soldiers. Instead of celebrating their 33rd anniversary, Putin is going to escalate the conflict. This is very unfortunate. Both sides needed to calm down for #UkraineWarDay911, and they did not.

FBI informant’s book predicts far-right violence: ‘we should be afraid’ [The Guardian] told y’all the #MAGAcult was a KKK front. Now they’re all facing decade or more years in prison because one of their most dangerous member got 20 years in prison. Thank God the Federal Bureau of Investigation finally took their dangerous activities seriously, it was time to act.

Our galaxy might crash into Andromeda. What would happen to us? [Mashable] this was my question in Astronomy Class back in University all those years ago, everybody laughed and rolled their eyes, do not worry, we won’t face this for another 4 billion years. Thankfully, someday, I will find time to enjoy MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA, until the next iteration, will ought to include Multiplayer and CO-OP. Because nobody wants to let us play together.

Around the World in 45 Hours [Air & Space Force Forces Magazine] please understand, 45 hours is endurance. 45 hours does not equate Trump 45, quite possibly the worst President the United States ever faced. To be a Commander-in-Chief, you need to be alert and read your Intelligence Briefings, just like 44, and 46, and for 47 (VP Harris, assuming she wins her election in November 2024, if people don’t vote, America will NOT survive another Trump experiment).

So Long Cheap Supra: The 2025 Toyota GR Supra Drops 4-Cylinder Option [Motortrend] #SUPERSTREET this is really sad, the price increased, and the 4-door version still does not exist.

PS. NEVER BE UPSET THAT MOTORTREND/SUPERSTREET IS THE LAST ARTICLE WHEN IT COMES TO THE HUGE CONTENT-CURATION LIST. THE REASON BEING, “STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE.” AS I AWAIT BUYING OR RECEIVING AS A DONATION MY VERY FIRST NEW VEHICLE AFTER WORKING FOR 25 FUCKING YEARS INCLUDING PAST 6 YEARS UNPAID, WITH A COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY EDUCATION, 2 CERTIFICATES IN SQL & PROJECT MANAGEMENT, 12 YEARS OF CORPORATE EXPERIENCE, AND 7 YEARS RETAIL. RETAIL, “KATE.” RETAIL (GIVE US THE TRILOGY, NICOLAS & TEA).

PPS. I don’t want that fucking WSJ subscription. I want my “Le Monde” subscription back. How much money you guys are all making over my misery sickens me. All I wanted was a German-Engineering vehicle. JDM will probably win due to your insults.

What’s up, everybody! Shoutout to the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening Crowds! Listen up! Blinken is exhausted because of Netanyahu’s stupidity, go into the future (present for me) and watch my latest YouTube video. We need that Ceasefire. A war between Israel and Lebanon will create a giant quagmire in the entire Middle East region. I have already used Quantum Mechanics to explain to you what could go wrong if someone tries to do something stupid from either sides, with Missile SILOs in both Israel and Iran. Diffuse the situation. Tell Netanyahu to stop escalating the situation. The goal was a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Tell the United Nations I will do another live-coverage translation for what they’re saying at the UN Security Council, playing Dragon Ball Z or God of War. You do not want to keep acting like a bunch of children, you idiots almost destroyed the planet time and time again, I will ask “Supreme Kai” to tell all of y’all to calm the fuck down, we lost 18,000,000 to COVID19, do you want to see the statistics for Africa if they don’t vaccinate the continent from MONKEYPOX? Stop pissing MSF off. Make the vaccine patent-free, and help out the WORLD: Planet Earth. No more fresh water in 20 years at the rate we’re going by the way.

I’m starting to realize that people really really really want me to tell everybody to FUCK OFF and play MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION and livestream it. I understand y’all, N7 is calling, and I have to answer the call. #CommanderShepard.

Until Next Time!
