I actually hadn't. Looks like I blocked all the right communities.

I'll be over here with my mental health, hiding in a corner.

Haven't heard. What's up?

That attention whore Russia found another way to make the news again. I wonder what it will be tomorrow? :-P

Edit: I have no idea why people are jumping to the worst possible explanation as to what I meant and refusing to consider any other possibilities, but fwiw I meant like "Putin invades Crimea", "Putin invades Ukraine", "Putin attempts to assassinate Navalny and fails", now "Putin succeeds in assassination of Navalny".

Hopefully the next headline in the chain will be "Putin found mysteriously dead, investigators blame a vengeful spirit"

At this point I doubt it even matters. Much like Trump vs. DeSantis - he is both a cause that creates its own symptoms, but also a symptom of larger issues himself.

This is why I have a serious account and a meme account. I don't have to see the news all day if I don't want to.

The news is a meme to me at this point.

But why are you subscribed to like 3 generic news feeds?

I'll keep thinking he's been died unless proven otherwise 🀷
