Sounds interesting, but considering how thick hydroelectric dams need to be to hold back a mere lake, how thick are these spheres going to be to hold back an entire ocean?

It's apparently also in Mexico and Canada, so you can still visit matches there.

Would be funny if the stadiums in Mexico and Canada were chock full while those in the US were half empty. You'd hope they'd finally get the message.

Russia will continue fighting as long as they can and Putin is in charge. The only two ways to end the war are to break the Russian ability to attack, or to get rid of Putin. The former is significantly easier than the latter (though it might lead to the latter).

So the EU kicking all Russians out of Ukraine would de-escalate and end the war. Not doing anything means Russia will continue its attacks and find new ways to do even more damage.

Very likely, yes.

I know one example of advertising that I liked: the creators of Penny Arcade had only advertisements for computer games that they liked. And they made those ads in the same art style as their own comic.

Advertisements are good when they're an honest endorsement. Any others are inherently deceptive and often invasive.

Arrest them for corruption, perhaps? (He said hopefully)

Of course not. Only for disagreeing with him or not supporting his illegal crackdown on Americans he doesn't like.

That was fun. Apparently I'm a JetBrains Mono user. Of course it might be simply what I'm used to, because I'm a long time IntelliJ user. It wouldn't surprise me if this is already my font.

So a Jewish women protesting against genocide was harassed by a racist mob chanting pro-genocidal slogans.

Instead of putting him in prison.

Read up on the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. They agreed to divide Poland, invaded together, and also divided the rest of eastern Europe and agreed not to attack each other. Up to the point of the Nazi breach of that pact, they had both been aggressors in WW2.
