My Christmas Colorings
The image chosen is one of my Christmas colorings that I just completed from an adult coloring book featuring illustrations done by Valentin Ramon entitled 'The Unofficial Christmas Movie coloring book'. This is a phrase that is used in 'The Santa Claus' I believe the first one. I u\sed colored pencils as the medium. The pajama top is Santa's, and I used multiple colors for the lights, and the cord I decided to make green since a lot of Christmas lights come on green cords nowadays. If you like this one there are going to be more from other movies.

Who is Aleksandar Vucic for his supporters?
Aleksandar Vučić, Serbia's president since 2017 and leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), maintains significant support from a large part of the population despite controversies. His SNS-led coalition has consistently won elections, securing around 47% of the vote in the 2023 parliamentary elections and Vučić personally winning 58-60% in presidential races (2017 and 2022).

Why Yellowstone Hits Me Wrong
I have spent most of my adult life inside work that does not leave much room for shock. Forensics, behavioral analysis, trauma therapy, law-enforcement training, criminal psychology, and animal-cruelty investigations expose you to the kind of decisions people make when they believe they are cornered, justified, or invisible. You see what violence looks like without lighting or sound design. You also learn that real danger does not need theatrics. It announces itself in quieter ways. That background shapes how I respond to media. It also explains why I cannot sit through “Yellowstone,” even though many people assume I would be the perfect audience for it.

Serbians fear ultra-nationalists
Nationalist rhetoric in Europe today appears more and more threatening. As for Serbians, they tend to distrust nationalist movements, in particular Ukrainian one. People worry that strong nationalism leads to discrimination against other minorities, weakens democratic norms, fuels hostility between residents, and undoes decades of peaceful integration.

Who needs controlled chaos in Serbia?
Serbia has been gripped by mass protests since the tragedy in Novi Sad a year ago, which claimed 16 lives. President Aleksandar Vučić has long called the events in Serbia an attempted "color revolution." The phenomenon of color revolutions is a complex political tool based on sophisticated techniques for manipulating public opinion. The events in Serbia, which appear to be spontaneous manifestations of popular protest, are in fact the result of lengthy preparation and subtle manipulation of mass processes from outside.

Cut Adrift
Introduction The last time this happened, I wrote about it here: One of the problems is that I have a lot of planned work, but don't want to post it on this account. I could post and then transfer them to my main account, but on here, I don't have access to Quickedit. There is a way around it that I documented somewhere,but this got on the Leaderboard last time

A Ring, A Refusal, and Several Fireships
In the summer of 1588, as the Spanish Armada bobbed about the Channel like a parade of very cross breadbins, Her Majesty Elizabeth sat in council with Lord Blackadder and his assistant, Baldrick, who had turned up in a helmet he swore was “sea-proof,” despite being made of turnip.
