🇵🇱 #Poland: Russian artist Robert Kuzovkov, known for his caricatures of political leaders including Vladimir Putin, Alexander Lukashenko and Ramzan Kadyrov, was shot and killed in the city of Biała Podlaska yesterday.
According to investigators, the attacker first shot him in the head. After Kuzovkov fell to the ground, the gunman approached and fired three more shots before fleeing the scene.
Kuzovkov was last seen publicly on June 12th during a protest, where he carried a painting depicting Putin and Joseph Stalin. Two Belarusian nationals have since been detained as part of the investigation, though their role in the shooting remains unclear.

no hate for iDubbbz for doing what he needs to do to avoid financial hardship, but it's unfortunate that Ethan Klein is demonstrating for everybody that abusing legal and support systems to bully your enemies into silence is simply a winning tactic that there are few defenses for
Just because Ethan Klein dropped his lawsuit with Idubbbz it’s not gonna change my mind that he tried to take advantage of a country weak defamation laws, he still a litigious, malicious freak.
Heartwarming:
Normalcy has returned to Syria and it is now a normal third world country given the tears over high school graduation maths exams and parents complaining about how their genius children are being shortchanged by the education board.
The French Marxist theorist, filmmaker, and professional troublemaker who led the Situationist International and wrote The Society of the Spectacle (1967) would see motorcycles flipping in front of the White House for what they are: not rebellion, but the spectacle flattering itself...a high-octane screensaver for a Herrenvolk democracy. The riders risk their necks so cameras can mine clips; the crowd risks nothing and calls it participation, mistaking adrenaline for agency. Power is so relaxed it stages "danger" at its own front door and sells it back as freedom, merch, and content. You walk away with a video instead of improved material conditions, convinced you've seen subversion when all you've really seen is how completely even your urge to rebel has been neutered. This is the movie they show on the Ship of Fools as you literally sail into your misery and destuction...Enjoy.
