@ryanflorence @burkeholland Yes. They could produce something those normies listen. Something more mainstream.

@JanisIesalnieks @VL_TBLNNK Klasiski. Tieši tāpēc Latvija ir tur, kur ir. Ja SK vat būt sarkanā līnija (nevis korupcijas apkarošana, tieslietu sakārtošana, drošība). Sašķelti par sīkumiem. Nožēlojami.

@Lato_Lapsa Citēšu pāris dienas senu tvītu.. "Varbūt Jūs zināt tādu dzīvesgudrību - suņi skatās uz sprunguli, ko viņiem pamet, bet lauva skatās uz to, kurš met sprunguli.
Uz ko skatāties Jūs?"

We tell young people in our society that end of the rainbow is retirement at 65.

We ought to tell them that "there is going to be this short but beautiful golden window from roughly age 3 to roughly age 12 where your kids are not only easy (comparatively to bottles & diapers), but are going to be these beautiful little creatures and it will pain your heart to be away from them for too long. So, prepare in your 20's, financially and career wise, to build that flexibility into that chapter of your life".

You don't get another shot at living the "golden window". And, for me, leaning hard into that golden window has made everything else in my life feel fairly insignificant in comparison. I have made plenty of mistakes as a father, but what I won't have is the regret of having been distracted and absent from these formative years. In some cases, that has required financial sacrifices (declining a particular career opportunity that would have required relocation), but I personally have zero regrets.

I also hear from some ambitious & successful people with a 4 year old that say "I've lost my ambition, I am so immersed in fatherhood". At least for me, and a number of my friends, it comes back. You can't keep an ambitious person down and if you have the fire, hanging at a playground on too many Tuesday afternoons is going to feel like torture after too long.

My three boys are approaching 13, 11 & 9, and it's much different than 7, 5 & 3. This summer, for example, they slept until 11am and I hard an unencumbered 6am-12pm to work (being on PT helps), then got another great window 7-11pm, but was able to be present in the heart of the day, then weeks when they were at basketball camp, etc. It gets easier, your time frees up again (there's a sadness to that too), but I'm back to working as intensely as I did pre-kids just because my day to day presence requires fewer hours than it did before (also, my wife is just superbly wonderful). And that is the beautiful gift of entrepreneurship (or at least my sort of business), the ability to deliver still a high level of output but work that around your life rather than the opposite.

TLDR, grind before, and grind after. Prepare for the golden window.

She was lying there, raped, her neck broken, with a noose around her neck. Beside her hung her 3-year-old son.

When they took him down from the rope, he was blue and no longer breathing.

But then a miracle happened. And what this child said a year later will break your heart.

June 20, 2022. Kherson region, an occupied village. At two in the morning, the wife of a Ukrainian serviceman managed to message her husband that someone was breaking down the door to their home.

His sister arrived an hour later. The gate was locked, so she climbed over the fence.

The door had been ripped from its frame, and a window was smashed. Nothing had been stolen. They had not come to rob them. They had come to kill.

In the room, her sister-in-law was lying on the couch, undressed and brutally beaten. Her head was twisted unnaturally, her neck was broken, and there was a noose around her neck. She was 28.

Beside her hung her three-year-old son. He had also been beaten, with about a dozen cigarette burns on his face. The rope was pulled so tightly around his neck that the woman tore her fingernails bloody trying to untie it.

The child was blue. His head was swollen from edema. He was no longer breathing.

The woman screamed at him: “Breathe! Live! Because I won’t be able to live with this — I’ll lie down beside you and die too.”

She performed CPR on him. She was afraid she would break his ribs — she didn’t. And he began to breathe.

He had watched his mother being killed. And she had watched her child being tortured. The window had been broken — people nearby had heard what was happening, but no one admitted it.

Then came three weeks in occupied Kherson. The woman waited for the burns and the rope mark around the child’s neck to heal.

What had not healed, she covered with makeup so they would not be recognized and killed immediately.

At the hospital, they warned her: “If they try to detain you, run. Half the hospital is occupied by FSB officers.”

To get the boy out, the woman forged documents directly on her phone using Photoshop. She was taking him out as if he were her own son. Thirty checkpoints lay ahead.

At one of them, a rifle was pressed against her temple. One Russian said, “Get rid of these two.” Another replied, “No, I’ve had enough for today.” The first said, “I’m fine with it.”

He was wearing a wedding ring. Perhaps a wife and children were waiting for him at home. And he was perfectly fine with killing a woman and a child sitting in a car.

Three days on the road. The woman pressed the pedals with one leg because the other had become paralyzed.

At a filtration checkpoint, a young officer asked whether anyone in the car had survived torture.

She said: “Yes.”

Is anyone injured? — Yes.

Has anyone been tortured? — Yes.

When she pointed to the three-year-old child, the officer began to cry. He could not continue the conversation.

In Odesa, doctors diagnosed the boy with clinical death, asphyxia, cerebral edema, a damaged wrist joint, a jaw injury, and eight broken teeth.

He stopped speaking — his muscles had atrophied. His speech development was set back by a year.

They now live in Odesa. The boy speaks again, goes swimming, attends kindergarten, and works with a speech therapist.

He knows that his mother is gone. A year after the tragedy, he went outside one evening, pointed his little finger toward the sky, and said:

“Moon, sky, Mommy.”

The boy’s father is a serviceman. When they arrived in Odesa, he met them deeply devastated. He was able to stay with them for two weeks — as long as his command allowed.

“He could have left the military and become his son’s guardian. But he didn’t. Because he is a patriot. Because he continues to fight,” she said.

And after the liberation of the left bank of the Kherson region, there will be many more.

Latvijas Saeima un Ministru kabinets ir tik tālu degradēts, ka Saeimas priekšsēdētājas birojs vai Ministru prezidenta birojs var pieprasīt izdzēst (cenzēt) jebkuru video materiālu, kas oficiāli ierakstīts Saeimas vai MK kamerās, ja tas nepatīk vadībai. 1/2

Happening in Kaunas, Lithuania‼️‼️

Clashes erupted between locals and the immigrant Muslim community. Lithuanians protested public Islamic prayers by shouting "This is Lithuania" while Muslims replied with chants of "Allahu Akbar" and "Takbir".

Unrest has been rising in Kaunas, Lithuania, after an incident earlier this summer, when the immigrant community tried implementing some aspects of Sharia law in the city's central park.

After the Lithuanian government liberalized its immigration policy, the number of Muslims increased from 3,000 in 2021 to over 50,000 in 2026, causing previously unseen tensions in a small Baltic country.
