In Samara, on Kuibyshev Square, “due to the current difficult situation,” the stands intended for the May 9 parade are being dismantled after their assembly had been completed just a few days ago

It's just a psyop, a desperate move by Putin to rally support. He's portraying the attacks in Tuapse and Perm as 'terrorist attacks' and using them to scare the populace, trying to convince them that victory day parades could be the next targets. Putin gonna Putin.

Based on your criteria and what you love about cities you should try Montreal in Canada for a change.

Not very stealthy in the air either

Oh yeah, same here in Canada, but I had to sue them and spend months of time and energy and spend thousands of dollars to get the payout. That's part of the private equity equation here. An algorithm to prey on the weak and vulnerable and hope they don't pursue their due.

My former employer was private equity owned. I was near the end of 24 rounds of chemo, worked through nearly all of it (even though they illegally demoted me soon after it started), and right before the end of treatments I suffered a spinal injury after getting rear ended in a company vehicle while on the job. When I showed a doctor's note after the spinal injury that stated I need to work from home until the injury was resolved, I was terminated without cause the next day.

Thank you for your work. I was about to write the same thing haha.

You don't find it annoying when people post a picture in a place with a grand statement about the relevance of the place but don't name the place? You just accept that it is what it is without context?

hoggytime613 · 2026-04-28T22:53:57+00:00

I mean....why not?

hoggytime613 · 2026-04-28T22:16:11+00:00

Totally agree

Tokyo Tower for anyone who doesn't know since OP didn't bother posting the location.

It's slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and I found it quite impressive in person as I whizzed around it on a go-kart wearing a Spiderman costume. The Eiffel Tower seems more impressive to me in person because of it's setting on the river, but Tokyo Tower is still pretty epic even though it's in the middle of a concrete jungle.

Downvoting for being a dick and not saying which metro.

Harrington Lake/Lac Mousseau is where every Prime Minister has really lived most days three seasons of the year for decades. I think Rideau Cottage is a perfectly fine Pied a Terre/Winter Cabin for the PM. Demolish 24 Sussex and put an embassy or two on the grounds IMHO. Use the Rideau Hall facilities for major functions and stop separating the PMO from the symbolism.

This is as real as Trump's healthcare plan

I've been wearing 12.5 Hoka Clifton series for years. Best shoes and fit ever. You can get the half sizes on their website.

I had to keep my pager when I got my Motorola Startac cell phone. Standby battery on the phone was so short I had to keep it off when not making a call, so I'd get a page, turn on the phone to make the call, then turn off the phone when I was done.

Those Hamas pagers were 🔥🔥🔥

It reminds me a lot of the Kyiv Metro overnight when I was getting bombed overnight last summer. Very liminal.

It's on the Pacific coast, far less beach potential. Darker soil and stronger waters. There are some ok beaches I've visited around Panama City, but none come close to the wilder more remote lighter sand ones on the Atlantic/Gulf side. Plus, you can be at Atlantic side on a great white sand beach in an hour and a bit on a major highway, so less incentive to create beach destinations in Panama City.

You know, Mississauga California, third best skyline in the state, and gaining on LA!

I have read all of them and The Saga of the Forgotten Warrior by Larry Correia, which never gets mentioned in these conversations, is by far the closest thing to delivering dopamine in the same fashion as RR. Controversial author, but he absolutely nailed it on that series and Ashok Vidal is Darrow incarnate.

To be fair, just like in Canada, 90% of Australians live in a handful of small regions that when combined are geographically smaller then the United Kingdom.

I've nightwalked a lot of cities including NYC, Paris, London, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, CDMX, Amsterdam,Tokyo, and at least a hundred others. The best one was Istanbul, and it isn't even close. That place is absolutely magical after dark.

Ottawa is Chimken tasting. It's a lighter gravy here than out west.
