A friend of mine sent me this ! There is a coffee chain in Singapore called Cafe Yugoslavia and it already has 3 locations and just has portraits of Tito on the wall and Play Yugoslav and partisan songs while serving coffee! 😀 I'll go get a cup on my next layover there 😁

But once that breakdown started, it was hard to stop. So yeah, there was a moment where better leadership and clearer heads could've changed everything, but instead short-term anger and tribal thinking won out. Pretty tragic when you look at what could've been.

I asked Claude, my AI friendly assistant, about what if Yugoslavia had stayed together, what would be a possible outcome. Claude:
“Yugoslavia in the seventies was punching above its weight-that per capita income ahead of Italy, the world-class shipbuilding…

People chose conflict over compromise, and everyone paid the price-economically, socially, in lost lives. The irony is that Yugoslavia had already proven it could navigate difference, right? It existed for decades as a multi-ethnic state.

Just got invited to a party on June 14, a day featuring no less than 5 World Cup matches, and I immediately had to think of this amazing comedy bit.

Corrió 50 metros con pelota dominada en tan solo 14 segundos y dejó a 5 rivales desparramados en el camino, incluido al arquero.

Hoy se cumplen 19 AÑOS del mejor gol en toda la historia del Barça, según los hinchas.

Sólo él, Lionel Andrés Messi. 🇦🇷🐐

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakenng after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11. His response was awesome:

"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played brefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me.

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.

@EH_MosHer @FrajlaCajka Kad god je - ne mak’o se s mjesta ako lažem - preminuo neki od istaknutih YU političara - išao je Saša. Kao neki ritual. Za mene, kad GOD čujem Saša, pomislim na sigurnost koju smo imali.
