Today I found out that I'm not a tankie 😭
I believe that the opinions of oil tanker drivers have less weight than the opinions of those who have TOR🅱️EDO
- wake up
- log into TankAffinity
- commission a drawing of my tanksona
- be sad about not being able to afford a tank that I could drive to tankie conventions
- read T-34 fanfiction
- go back to sleep
- just an average day as a tankie
Translation:
Left side:
1917
Monarchist, cadet, S.R. ("social revolutionary"), menshevik: Soviet power will last two weeks!!!
Right side:
1932
5 [years of the 5-year-plan] in 4
15 years
The USSR ultimately consolidated itself on the socialist road.
Nitter is dead, right? How should I go about accessing Twitter now?
Funny how the Death To America school has an American flag next to the teacher's desk (left edge of the picture). Did the cartoonist not think about it for even a second while drawing?
Very good news. It genuinely makes me happy that the DPRK is able to produce ICBMs. U.S. only speak the language of force, this is the way to go if you want to keep them out of your country.
I haven't seen, please send link?
Just typed a post complaining about personal life, but then I clicked the wrong button and now the post is gone. No energy to type again. I don't feel well and I really need more sleep. Much work tomorrow. I wish students were allowed to take days off. Impatiently counting time towards the winter holidays cuz I really need a break.
At least I am enjoying this song by the Moranbong Band. Very beautiful singing and lyrics. (The video that I linked has subtitles in several languages.)
What was making them consider living in July? Before the start of the operation? I thought most settlers felt pretty safe back then.
Listening to some beautiful patriotic music from the DPRK.
Thinking of how the west has never forgiven these people for building a life for themselves and refusing to submit to US imperialism. Sanctions are still in place. Average westerner doesn't see them as human at all. US bombing killed 20% of their population in 1950--1953. They (the west) would gladly do the same again. We all are witnessing the massacre that the US puppet is committing in Palestine. The pictures are burned into my brain now. Can't imagine what it's like to actually have to live through the horrors. While the world looks on and does nothing. They would gladly do the same to every other country that dares to oppose them. The kids from this video? US army would murder them and not even blink an eye.
I am incredibly glad the DPRK has nuclear weapons. International law is a joke. Death to America.
Sorry for incoherent rambling. I'm really bad at writing.
Does anyone here know the name of the song?
Thank you as well! 
The search feature is quite convenient.
Any of the comrades on here can send me the BDS list? I saw it a while ago, but forgot to bookmark. Am too tired to sift through search engine results, which seem to have gotten way worse over the last year or two.
And of course they use it on a three-year-old post by one of the Lemmygrad admins. The post itself is a based picture: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8886
The UN’s World Food Program has provided food aid to 8,000 families in Gaza suffering from food insecurity, but is now suspending support due to budget cuts. As a result, many families in Gaza will go hungry.

I know nothing about this, but it came up on my Mastodon timeline and it sounds very concerning. Unless someone took over the Matrix servers or the account, mastodon.matrix.org seems to be indeed their official instance... Any opinion from the comrades on here who use Matrix?
From the description: > This video clip shows HVO geologist Tim Orr sampling lava from an active pāhoehoe breakout on the episode 61g lava flow. The chemistry of these lava samples provides information on the magma plumbing system. Sampling has been a regular part of monitoring Kīlauea Volcano's ongoing Pu‘u‘ō‘ō eruption.
Today I learned that this is what that looks like. Very impressive.
I'd like to try Matrix, but I still don't know of a good client. I don't want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried nheko, but I didn't like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option).
So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.
The two programs involved are toilet and lolcat.
toilet is a program that takes text as input, and turns it into fancy multi-line letters. It has different "fonts" available for this purpose; all the available fonts are stored in the /usr/share/figlet directory. Here are just some examples:
Actually, toilet also has a built-in option to colour it, but it doesn't look very nice IMO, as the colour changes are too sudden:
lolcat is a program that takes some text, and prints the same text, but rainbow-coloured. Note that you need a terminal with 256-colour support (rather than just 16) for the desired effect. It can colour any text in rainbow:
(The wrapping at 80 characters is so that the lines don't get longer than the terminal width. lolcat starts looking weird when they do.
And now, by combining these two, we can get fancy rainbow-coloured text!
Enjoy! :)
