Greetings, Comrades! The "coup" delayed this for a bit, but here you go. Oz is a friend of ours, he was there on the ground from the very first day the war started, and he's also covered war in Syria. One of the most inspiring - and brave - people I've spoken to, a truly professional war journalist sharing his opinions and perspectives.

Senile man pretending that he’s an actual competent leader talks in a supposedly international economics forum with his own propaganda machine, fails spectaculary.

This is a national rememberance day here in Latvia, and in all the Baltic states. Today we remember the tens of thousands of people, sent to die in Siberia, either in the wilderness or in the GULAG's by the Soviet Union, because Stalin said so. But we, in the Baltics, are ancient peoples that have endured. And now it's our duty to help our friends in Ukraine endure. May this winter be short and merciful.

Greetings, Comrades! I'm working on a news episode as you're reading this, but I wanted a breather episode, so we had a nice talk about architecture and why it matters with David from https://www.livingprocess.net/ - he also was the very first person I ever collaborated with many years ago. This was one of the most interesting and relaxing episodes for me to record, and I hope you'll love it as much as I did - but be prepared to pause frequently and google stuff up. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades! I'm honored to present you an interview recorded yesterday on 05.06 with our newly elected president. We spoke about Latvian internal issues, diaspora problems, cooperation with our NATO allies and Ukraine, how to communicate our issues to the west - and how to deal with the postsoviet mentality that sadly so many of us still have.
