    Heracleum sosnowskyi in Ukraine. Fucking commies decided to start seeding it en-masse for cow feed without even checking whether it would work.

    It bitters the milk, making it unusable as feed. It is poisonous and hybridizes with native edible species. Skin contact results in horrible blisters that tend to not heal cleanly. Its juice is toxic and mutagenic.

    A war crime in plant wrapping.


  • Soviet development that was driven purely by economic considerations tends to have all the issues of modern development. Well, except car centric planning, but we know why that wasn’t a consideration ever.

    Apartment complexes that didn’t focus just on economy, tended to be way better. And that is missing from modern considerations almost always.

    Still, there’s a reason pre-Soviet areas to this day remain some of the most sought out ones.

    First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

    Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

    “We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.
