There used to be a Banksy near where I lived in London.

Pictures dont do them justice. You need to see them in context.

There’s a really weird Banksy in one of the office buildings in downtown Toronto, the people that built the office building had to knock down the original building that the art work was on so they cut out the Banksy and now have it up under glass in the pedestrian walkway in the building.

Banksy art is all kind of “meta” but there is something especially meta about a huge corporate real estate development preserving the Banksy art this way, totally out of context and preserved in glass for the benefit of corporate drones to look at on the way to pick up a Starbucks between meetings.

All these authoritarian nationalists from some reason also like to have pretensions of expanding their nation state boundaries.

So Russia’s self-declared zone of influence now extends to its neighbor’s neighbor’s neighbors.

Russia’s meme technology about in line with what I expected.

They’re already lost about 40% of their active-duty memes. I’ve seen videos of whole columns of memes out in the open on roads just getting lit up by Ukrainian drones.

minutes after NATO parliamentary assembly and European parliament voted to name Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, russian forces launched another rocket barrage, this time 71 rockets of which 20 got through missile defense and knocked out power and water utilities in large cities across ukraine. one rocket hit a hospital and killed a newborn. EU parliament also was subject of an immediate cyberattck.

so yea, still escalating, 9 months into the war

It could be that. It could be nobody wants to end up in history books as the guy who got in the way of an assassin’s bullet meant for the asshole of the century (so far).
