Nazaj naj ga pošljejo! Tam so hoteli s petimi zvezdicami, zagotovo mu bodo pripravili kaj dobrega za pojest. Tudi mehko posteljo bodo ponudili vsem tistim, ki so se pritožili, ker so eno noč morali prespati na letališču.

Vacancy for a fully funded 4-year PhD at @uvahumanities.bsky.social on the key roles played by social science, demography, and nutritional science during the blockades of the First and Second World Wars, especially where they related to food.
Gówno w pozłotku is a very accurate description of His Dementedness, the Great Satan (with tiny hands).
I am looking at this picture and thinking ... these walls could use more kitschy gold-plated decorations!
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

She finished high school in Slovenia, which means she had English as her first foreign language for eight years and watched numerous TV shows and movies in English growing up. She has been living in the US for decades. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain her horrible English to me.
Troops of the 1st Ukrainian Division (possibly) marching through a major town in Ukraine.
Anniversary: 1 March 1918. German forces capture Kyiv.
Wolfram Dornik & Peter Lieb interpret this occupation as a "political and economical fiasco". They analyze how strategic overstretch in the Ukrainian "failing state" accelerated the collapse of the Central Powers.

In Trump’s video about the American soldiers who have died you can see the exact moment where he stops reading the script. It’s his ‘that’s the way it is…’ line delivered with a weird riff and half smirk. A man who has always thought dead soldiers are losers who get nothing for dying.
I'm curious if Polymarket would be open to a bet on that. Because I am ready to bet serious money that they did!
Two scientists look at a monitor attached to a large apparatus consisting of pipes, tanks, vessels and hoses. The first scientist says "I don't get it. The reaction is running perfectly, but we can't account for 7% of the heat." The other says "Have you Asked the Professor?" The first replies "We're not supposed To disturb him when He's in his office." On the other side of the apparatus, one of the pipes goes through a wall into another room where it warms the water for a hot tub in which the professor relaxes.

You never know when the Prussians might come back. :)
Mene "hrvatenje" ne moti, če hočejo ljudje biti Hrvati in Hrvatice je to povem legitimna izbira. No, za slovenske superpatriote je vseeno nekoliko nenavadna.
Me pa moti koketiranje z radikalnim nacionalizmom in fašistoidnimi tipi vseh sort. Cf. Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán...
