Perhaps Putin abandoning his people in Moscow to a rabid mercenary will push them to revolt and join Prigozhin, out of immediate fear if nothing else

There's always the remarkable story of Rasputin's death. He was an advisor to Nicholas II of Russia, and refused to die after being poisoned, shot, and beat.
"The would-be killers first gave the monk food and wine laced with cyanide, however, when Rasputin seemingly failed to respond to the poison, they shot him at close range and left him for dead. In spite of these murderous measures, Rasputin revived shortly thereafter and made an attempt to flee the palace grounds, only to be intercepted by his assailants who shot him again and viciously beat him. They then bound Rasputin, who was remarkably still alive, and threw him into the freezing Neva River. His battered body was found several days later and it was reported that there was water in his lungs, indicating that he finally died by drowning."
I will also add, it's pretty neat that Ernest Shackleton's famed lost ship, the Endurance, was found 100 years to the day that Ernest was buried.
Very sad. Here's a source for this if anyone's curious:
And Prigohzin is responsible for some of the bloodiest fights in Ukraine.
Does Lost count here? That's my favorite, otherwise Farscape or Star Trek in general. I started watching the Expanse, it's really amazing, and I see why people like it, but I like the quirkiness of some of the other shows. Farscape is an extremely fun show to watch.
Perfect 👌
I would add Bluetooth to this as well.
American Prometheus, the Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
I wanted to check it out before the movie comes out, and I highly recommend it for a very in depth view of his life.
I also recently finished On the Origin of Time, by Thomas Hertog, which I also recommend. It's about Stephen Hawking's final ideas and theories, told by one of his closest proteges. There are some incredible ideas in this book that I had never heard of before, and I'm a cosmology nerd.
It has since been reported that Suleman Dawood was actually very excited about going on the sub, and had been previously disappointed when he couldn't go the first time the dive was scheduled because he was only 17, so his mother was going to go instead. That dive was cancelled, he turned 18, and you know the rest.
I'm going to make my first post! I'm really happy to be apart of this community!
The Noss family treasure, featured in the documentary "Gold, Lies, & Videotape."
More than any other case, and I'm very much into mysteries, I would like to see resolution for this in my lifetime. This family deserves answers.
Lol, it reminds me of those awful green tile bathrooms from the 70s
They could make much more money if they only improved their current ad algorithm. I know a lot of people don't, but I actually click on ads and enjoy ads that are targeted to me, especially for clothing. I purchase things from ads on every social media site that I use, except for Reddit, because reddit does not show me ads for things that I like, and this despite me using Reddit more than any other site. For instance, Reddit show me ads for internet packages, instead of the latest book or or dress that I would like to buy.
I'm not sure why this is, Reddit should know my interests better than many of these other sites. If their ads are failing, and they aren't making money, it's their own fault.
Girl, those were some busy nails! I really like the colors though.
This is actually really helpful. I have frequent nighttime awakenings, and it's getting so bad that I want to sleep a lot during the day. Maybe I'll give exercise a go, I haven't tried it as a solution for insomnia yet.
Fingers crossed for full-scale revolt!
thanks for using Leebra!
