I. 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇱🇻

Piekrītu, man tik ļoti patika, ka aizgāju uz kino divreiz, vispirms Anglijā, tad Latvijā. Abās reizēs kinozāle bija tukša (likās nereāli sēdēt vienai pašai Odeon IMAX zālē). Filma labāka, nekā cilvēki domā. Man jo īpaši patīk britu aktieris Deivids Hārbors, ļoti talantīgs, un te arī viņš bija super.

Make sure to select the country in your app profile! Next time they release statistics, Latvia should be on the map!! We can do this.

UNITED24 - Apps on Google Play Support Ukrainian defenders and get exclusive content from the units you help

Let's put 🇱🇻 on the map! At present, Latvia isn't even among the top twenty countries for donation activity; I'm sure we can do better than that. Let's go!

Go From Donor to a Real Frontline Ally UNITED24 app lets you join Ukraine’s drone forces right where it matters. Pick one of 5 drone units backing the frontline, fund it directly, and see your support hit the enemy where it hurts. It’s not...

Just discovered through a recent r/Ukraine post that it is now possible to donate directly to Ukrainian troops via their newly launched app 🇺🇦✨

I checked their official website, and it's confirmed legitimate.

I'm about to download it now myself, and just wanted to spread the word.

"The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other is at the heart of what it means to be a free people," the Writers Guild of America wrote in a blistering statement. "It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice."

Jimmy Kimmel will return to TV after highly criticized suspension Late-night host reinstated after brief suspension related to comments on Maga and Charlie Kirk that Disney called ‘insensitive’

Well, well, well... 😄

Disney: "It's a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We've spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

"Reports suggest Washington is planning to reduce security assistance to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, which share a border with Russia."

Rinkēvičs added: "Russia is doing just enough to make it seem like it is not going too far. But, knowing both the logic of thinking in Russia and the frequent incompetence at various levels, this [a conflict] could happen. The responsibility will lie with the Kremlin."

"Posting on Facebook, Latvia's president, Edgars Rinkēvičs, said there was a risk of "serious conflict" if Russia continued in the coming weeks to provoke Nato. European governments did not want a wider war but had no choice but to respond, he said."

The art reminds me of that botched Jesus fresco restoration that I'm too lazy to find and post 🤭 Same vibes.

"This weekend, as we honour the heroism of the Battle of Britain generation, it is especially poignant that RAF pilots and crew are once again standing shoulder to shoulder with Poland 🇵🇱 in defence of our shared security – making us secure at home and strong abroad." John Healey, Defence Secretary

UK fighter jets begin NATO air defence missions to bolster European security Royal Air Force Typhoon patrolled the skies over Poland as part of NATO's Eastern Sentry mission

🇺🇦 Two RAF Typhoons from Coningsby – just over half an hour's drive from me – flew to Poland 🇵🇱 Friday night to help deter Russian aerial threats, returning early this morning. More below.

"Yet they have become the norm. To have a world, we must be physically present in it. We must be able to relate to and communicate with it. We must be able to touch and taste it. [..] To be at home in the world requires a connection with it that artificial intelligence can never have."

Are we living in a simulation? Two decades ago, the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom asked whether the universe is a simulation. Should an advanced civilisation somewhere have the technology to create a simulation of one universe, he theorised, they would also, in all probability, have created our own. Tech billionaires Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman reckon this is possibly true, and science writer Neil deGrasse Tyson gave it a 50% chance. This year, a physicist claimed to have found proof. We might dismiss this as Silicon Valley’s solipsistic fantasy were the simulated world not becoming a reality.

"[I]ncreased use of digital media correlates with feelings of what psychologists call "depersonalisation" or "derealisation" – a sense of being estranged or detached from oneself and reality. The sense that the world is not real. These are symptoms typically associated with schizophrenia."

Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions: I've reviewed every prophecy on the Antichrist, and what I read blew my mind. (Updated with new signs, 6/10/2020)

This 2019 article by Benjamin L. Corey is 🔥. With hindsight, it feels even more accurate. He didn't mean it as serious, but come on…

If this shows up in your feed, read it! At the very least, it's entertaining. But "prophetic" also fits.

Book math is showing up an hour early to pick up your preorder on release day just so you can take it home and let it cure like a prosciutto for eight months

It's really eye-opening. Wow. They are all reading from the same script. It's a scourge.

And today we highly appreciate the genuine solidarity of the Baltic states, in the face of dumb Russian imperialism. Just as you have, we are defending the right of our state and our people to independent life, and against the Russian attempt to subjugate us.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy: We remember the longing for freedom that Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian people demonstrated with the Baltic Way. We honor the unity these nations showed in defending their right to freedom and independence.

My Best Advice for the Productivity-Challenged This post is intended for a certain segment of the population, and after a few paragraphs you’ll know if it’s you (or someone you know). Historically, I’ve had spectacular trouble getting normal, ever...

"A 3x improvement might sound crazy [..] but for the type of person I'm talking about – a catastrophically unproductive person who may currently only get ninety minutes of actual, intentional work done per day – a full tripling of personal productivity, even much more, is certainly feasible."

14/14 ...an artist who's owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief.

(See Jack White's post on Instagram.

This was cathartic to read! Pure poetry.)

13/14 ...White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who Trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves.

And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm...

12/14 ...of thousands of deaths from his inaction to the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars. Being insulted by the actual...

11/14 ...low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of Trump steaks, Trump vodka, Trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds...

10/14 ...idiot agenda.

Wow, he hates who you hate…. good for you, be proud of yourselves, how Christian of you all.

The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you "defend your guy no matter what he does". No intelligent person can defend this...

9/14 So MAGA folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich...

8/14 ...in this country on a daily basis.

And I have "ample time on (my) hands"? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.
