Now I know which 4 chords I should learn first

I always had a feeling that all stuff on the radio sounds terribly familiar:

I thought I was getting old-e... No, it actually IS terribly similar.

Люди низкого положения полагают, что путь офис-самурая это его путь в офис. Следует со снисхождением относиться к их незнанию. Люди выского положения полагают, что путь офис-самурая это путь карьеры. Следует с сочувствием относиться к их заблуждениям.
Путем долгих размышлений я постиг, что путь офис-самуая это путь увольнения.

Bombing in Moscow subway

Two explosions in subway during peak hours, right after trains arrived to stations, 35 dead, more wounded. Terrible tragedy, yet another meaningless slaughter. Rule number one, though: do not talk about terrorism - you are helping them to spread the word. So this post is not about the bombing. It is about public media.

In civilized world we sort of got used to various bustards killing civilians for whatever reason they feel appropriate. However, recent 10 years of "media-lang" added a dangerous twist: we do not call them "bustards" anymore. I definitely recognize a threat of those killings becoming a valid political response in our crazy society.

For example, above we can see that "chechen rebels" thing from CNN again, accompanied by "militant groups in the North Caucasus region" from BBC. Therefore I would like to make a statement:

Dearest CNN, BBC and such!

Please get a grip on the language. People who blow trains up are terrorists (spelled with double R in the middle, no quotes). If you do not trust me, please consult Webster dictionary. It says "rebels - opposing or taking arms against a government or ruler". This is different from "terrorist - the systematic use of terror especially as means of coercion". They are not "militant groups" either. I fail to believe that whoever is in charge of CNN/BBC editing is not aware of difference, so I would take that for undisguised support of international terrorism.

I realize international news agency wants to stay clear of taking sides. In this particular example your "not taking sides" went really wrong. You are using terms which assume there is a terrorist government somewhere that is recognized internationally and acts according to international convention, that they are in the state of war with Russia and other countries and fight Russian army. Please understand the following:

1. There is no such thing as terrorists government. 
2. They are killing civilians, not fighting the army. 
3. They have no land or civilian population. 
4. They do not support international conventions. 
5. They fund and are funded by organized crime.

Please stop kissing devil's ass. You are given power to shape public's vision. You are helping to promote a twisted interpretation, which makes these attacks meaningful for terrorists and lays down the path for further killings and attacks. Please stop doing it.

Dan

15 "most unusual" beers by drinktime.ru via Exler

Drinktime.ru came up with their version of 15 most unusual beers. Not much to add. Unusual - check. Beer - check. I wonder which of these worth trying... I'd probably skip the dog beer that smells like meat. See for yourself, anyways:
