This is an interesting idea, and I might implement it someday. For now, let me just say that any randomly chosen page of the graphic novel "Watchmen" by Alan Moore surpasses everything Dostoyevsky wrote in his entire life, with all of Tolstoy thrown in. https://t.co/D8AkaaaVTU

Reading @Shteyngart's "Super Sad True Love Story" is terrifying because it portrays the worst kind of futuristic dystopia imaginable, but his description of Russian Jewish immigrant parents is so hilariously on the money, I've stopped responding to my mom's phone calls (7 a day).

A fifth-grader was hauled in by the cops in Moscow because her social media profile pic was blue and yellow. The school's principal called the cops to "study the life of the family and find the reasons for such behavior of the child and her civil position." https://t.co/io8SOSnWJv

It's the first day of August, a perfect day to not start reading XIX century Russian literature. As are the other 364 days. What are you reading today? Slava: "The Name of the Rose" (rereading) "Europe at Midnight" (alt-reality sci-fi) "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen

Like, seriously. A woman gets killed by a motherfucking train. How do you manage to make this scene boring? I fucking dare you! Challenge a 2nd-grader to write it, and they'll do fine . Garth Ennis would turn it into a whole issue of The Boys that would be gross and unforgettable

If Alexander Ovechkin disavows this war, his entire family will be forced to learn Ukrainian by Colonel Major of Zelensky's KGB, Olexiy Shchorshchozhurskyy, while ripping the poems of Pushkin with their bare hands as they spit on the statue of Yuri Gagarin.

A Russian man is facing a criminal probe for passing out free copies of George Orwell's "1984." His crime? "Discrediting armed forces of the Russian Federation." In unrelated news, Russia's national sport is short-distance self-owning. https://t.co/tnmaKkD2gp
