I think I am going to download TikTok and dive down a Russian rabbit hole. These kids are incredible: both smart and fearless. And they have known nothing else than Putin’s Russia.

Omg it’s amazing. First one: how to pretend you are an American tourist when the police try to arrest you on Saturday:

Dressing warmly with amazing eye makeup

And this beautiful, philosophical one with quotes from Tolstoy, 1907

My generation explaining how shit everything was before Putin and crediting him with economic stability. Interesting. She did get 10k likes.

Last one. No surprise the Kremlin is scrambling to block TikTok but news flash: can’t shut down the internet forever. Telegram ban anyone? Remember that?

Sorry one more. Tips on what to do / how to dress on Sat. These kids are pros.

73.5 million views on the hashtag and counting. Incredible.

Two weeks ago on this very spot we heard “It’s a revolution! We’re storming the Capitol!” while Elizabeth from Knoxville, Tennessee held an onion to induce tears in a blue tea towel.

Images matter.

Love Dr Biden’s outfit #Inauguration2021

Trump's helicopter now landing as loudspeakers blast Gloria as his corrupt family stands waiting.

The 80s soundtrack is so weird. Now Journey's Don't Stop Believing.

I am having flashbacks to swim meets and mix tapes in Walkmans when I was 13.

Oh god he is talking now. Says he loves all of us.

"People have no idea how hard this family worked. And they worked for you! They could have had a much easier life."

"Our First Lady has been a woman of great grace and beauty and dignity."

Melania now talking (briefly).

@rzd_official

I just got on the @rzd_official No. 2 train from #moscow to #vladivostok. This #transsiberian route is over 9200km, the longest single train ride in the world. It will take 6 days and change in one direction. THREAD (I’ll add throughout the journey):

Tonight we will stop in Vladimir in the night and be in Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga before sunrise. My coupe while not fancy is certainly comfortable. We are passing through the Moscow suburbs. It’s midnight. That’s a full commuter train we just whizzed by.

This is my coupe. There is a mini TV (peak Russia) and a plug to charge phones in the hallway. Haven’t dared ask the shower question yet as not all trains have them. The lady in charge of our “wagon” is very nice and will go all the way to Vladivostok (and back!). Shared WCs.
