中西 圭三 - Woman
Nakanishi Keizō - Woman
(Japanese; my Japanese only good enough to catch a few snippets)
One I came to love because the guy in the room next to me when I lived in Japan kept playing it over and over until I did. Also featured in my first (and last!) attempt at doing karaoke in front of Japanese people.

Время и Стекло - Тролль

The Ukrainian crunk equivalent of “No Scrubs”? (IIRC read an article explaining how the song is about terrible men hitting on her)

Tabou Combo - Konpa Mania

From “No racism” to “No “no racism””: America’s great again!!!

I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

Both from the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.

I’m fairly sure this is less “pro-Russia” and more “anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie”.

While Law & Justice’s [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin’s a lot, IIRC they’ve been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it’s a personal beef now since the party boss’s brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.

TFA:

Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father

Arrested Development wiki on the Milford School:

Children should be neither seen nor heard.

Every time the Milford school is mentioned in the show, there’s a shot of Milford alumnus Buster Bluth exercising the skill he learnt there of avoiding being seen.

I’m in the middle of an AD rewatch, noticed the school’s name and made a quick, crappy joke on that.

Obviously the situation is actually horrible for the kid in the article and in no way his fault.

“Oh, but he won’t do that to me .”

Should have paid more attention in school

Exporting (Trump’s idea of) American free speech around the world!
