Day 736
State propaganda always sucks
Just DM me if you have any questions about resisting fascistic Russia’s genocidal campaign in Ukraine. You can do that now from a Substack profile, from the Chat tab, or by sharing a post or note. I am not chatty, so don’t be offended if I ignore your message.
Last bicycle pic:
In other news, Maria Tril informs us that LP’s concert in Kaunus is cancelled. Why? Because Laura wore a hoodie sent to her from Russian fans. A bit over the top. Looking on the positive side, LP says she is sorry for trampling on Ukraine’s feelings.
I accept her apology! One unfortunate consequence of the kerfuffle means, however, that adoring fans of Verite will have to travel to a different gig during LP’s tour in Europe, to cities where venue owners are less “politically correct.”
Last time I checked, Poland was among the most homophobic countries on earth, right up there with Russia, Belarus and, er, Ukraine.
The second unintended consequence is Ukraine24.media on Instagram, which brought our attention to Laura’s hoodie in the first place.
What the fuck is wrong with this state-sponsored social media bully?
Ukraine24.media is a Ukrainian government-funded propaganda outlet. No one knows who sits on its permanent editorial board or supervisory board or if these boards even exist. That might explain why there are teams harrassing American pop stars touring Europe.
Stupid, counterproductive, insane. This idiotic intiative reminds me of Telemarafon and TV channels FreeDom and Dim.
Bike looks great. I'd be pissed too. Hey - Patron the dog is agitprop too?
Dead or truly alive and achy like me?
