It will never cease to suprise me the speed in which the DPRK builds towns:
February/July
So jealous. Here in the Netherlands they are planning a neighborhood in Utrecht, where they will only start building in 2035.
Thank you! This went viral on twitter and I found the name of the project, it’s the ragwon offshore fishing farm. With this I was able to find more pictures, going to see about making a page for it on prolewiki
There’s a LOT more pictures on google but I won’t saturate the grad’s server with them lol
non-editors can edit content pages or even create them now on ProleWiki (it just logs your IP), however you can’t upload pictures but you can use them if they’re already uploaded. I just need to get around to uploading a bunch of pictures about it on PW and then anyone will be able to add to the page. If you google ragwon county offshore farm a lot of information comes up so there’s plenty of sources to pick from.
I guess DPRK is rapidly catching up to counter RFA narrative
Had the honor to create a garden for a friend this weekend. It was my first garden I have done for someone else. I made a border with native bee friendly plants. I go to the gym quite often but there are some muscles that the gym can’t train that only manual labor seems to target lol. My forearms are sore as fuck from removing grass, lifting tiles and stuff.
Political wise things seemed to have died down a bit for some reason. Maybe because of the holiday but then again life goes on and things can be done. Bit of a bummer.
We managed to stop a weapons shipment going through our port. Even a judge has now ruled it illegal. A while ago one did go through and we increased pressure, with success.
Shipment to Israel* forgot to add
Thank you so much.
“Enemies of the people”
Nice
Bonito de ver, camarada!

At this point anyone who supports AOC is an open fascist in my view. No nuances, no buts, no ifs. Death to America and death to Israel.
well said 👍
“b-but the Jews need the Iron Dome defens-”
Social fascism in action. And people once dismissed stalin’s correct assessment as “hyperbolic” and “sectarian”
Liberals don’t exist. They are just self deluding fascists, or unradicalized comrades.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too comrade 😊

You too comrade!
I hope you have a nice week too! :-D
I finally figured out why these images wouldn’t load. I had to add an exception for lemmygrad.ml because pbs.twimg.com is on the no-no list. It seems that domain is a x/Twitter thing.
Well, that may explain why people are unable to see content that I post from the DPRK/China like the following:
I could solve this restriction by downloading the pictures and then uploading it to Lemmygrad. However, the videos can’t be processed this way due to it being heavier. 🤔
The way I got to them before was to click “view source,” copy the twimg.com link, and open it in its own window.
That is certainly not ideal 🫠 Having extra clicks may discourage people from reaching some fabulous content.
I gotta make it easier for folks with these restrictions somehow. 🤔
Maybe include the URL so it’s easy to click on? Still not ideal, but it’s something.
Ok, will do that. Thanks Davel!
Good article, thanks!
Yours?
No 😔
dayum…
With me living in the Benelux, it amazes how little I hear and know about Luxembourg. I feel like as someone living in the Netherlands I feel like I still don’t know enough about the country, even though I was there for a couple of days last summer
A tax haven full of french speaking germans. The left-wing movement died once the steel industry went kaput.
do they even have culture of their own? i always seen them as a belgium larping as another state for tax haven reasons.
They speak their own language called Luxembourgish which developed from a German dialect but it seems they speak French more. When I was in Luxembourg I heard more French. Kind of a shame.
Luxembourgish is basically the dialect they speak in trier but with more french loanwords mixed in - it was constructed post-ww2 for obvious reasons. French is more popular due to the large Portuguese, french and belgian diaspora/commuters, so luxembourgish is only prioritized by like the local right-wing culture war people.
Fun fact its also spoken in Arlon in belgium but is practically extinct there.
Really? I actually know a Luxembourgish song about how refugees should be accepted into Luxembourg. It doesn’t seem like it is only prioritized by right wingers
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Local people speak it of course, its not as politicized as Ukrainian for example, but its losing ground to French which is spoken by more people. So, the culture war types usually want to enforce it as the sole national language, as the large Portuguese and francophone population refuses to learn it. Similar to how flemish speakers in belgium usally know french better than francophones do dutch/flemish.
I mean it’s a country with a population the size of Rotterdam only most of them are living pretty comfortable, so no real outrageous shit happens there.
Last I heard they do have free public transport though. Good hiking trails too.
Also: Belgium has a part of Luxemburg too. Nothing ever happens there either. Just small villages in between rolling hills.
Austrian neo nazi Felix Baumgartner, famous for jumping from high altitudes, died today doing what he loved. Jumping from high altitudes.
Rest in piss.
leave paragliders to the pros Felix
Wait he was a nazi?
Yeah he as a misogystic shit who simped for dictators and endorsed neo nazi orgs
heh heh heh. Stupid games stupid prizes.
So the main stage of a festival nearby burned down just now (Tomorrowland, huge festival). Not only are people treating it like some 9/11 (festival didn’t start, nobody hurt), the media were spreading fake AI images of a burned down stage as well. Scary stuff. Guess that happens when you need to be the first to get the clicks.
