Read this interview this morning and felt I'd post it here for wider reach - some pretty good points about drag shows and how they got turned into a battlefront. Also let's face it - a drag show about Santos is an absolutely brilliant idea.

Short and very insightful video about why Russia's invasion of Ukraine isn't just any war - but the war of private interests, Wagner Group's and Putins's most of all. And sadly, why this means there isn't an end in sight. Reminds me of a discussion I had with a Syrian colleague a few years ago about why he didn't see any end to the Civil War there.

There is a moment, when the sun hits a #wave as it breaks, and creates an incredible flash of turquoise. The water appears like glass, the detail in it's pattern fixed for an instant, before transforming into white horses racing to shore #Shetland #Nature #sea #Scotland

#Russia is forced to sell its Urals #oil at a 50% discount, prices are falling as low as $37.8 per barrel. Diverting the first million barrels per day of oil away from the EU was doable - but diverting the second million barrels per day is much harder.
