Driver says time, gas, and an hour on the road should mean a tip.
Customer says the driver accepted a no-tip order and could have skipped it.
That’s the whole fight: platform pay vs. tip culture.

At the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced a major initiative: a Eurasian Charter on diversity and multipolarity, with over a dozen nations already expressing interest.
🌍 Eurasian Charter: Russia and Belarus have begun drafting a framework for "equal and indivisible security and cooperation" on the Eurasian continent.
🏛️ "We must adapt our organization to the new realities, including through reform of the Security Council by including additional representatives from Asia, Africa, and Latin America."
⚠️ Lavrov warned against German aspirations to become "the leading military power in Europe" – quoting Chancellor Merz directly.
🕯️ He warned of attempts to create a "fourth reich" – citing the erasure of Nazi-defeat memory, textbook rewrites, and monument demolitions across Europe.

Brutalism was never meant to mean “brutal.” Béton brut = raw concrete.
The Soviet version went stranger: saucers, towers on one leg, a Moscow apartment block on 40 pillars — the Centipede.

They call it “EU accession.” Belgrade calls it blackmail.
Lavrov just confirmed it: the West is forcing Serbia to sanction Russia—or lose its EU path. Brussels won’t open a single new chapter, but demands Belgrade betray its historic ally.
Yet Serbia is still the only country in Europe refusing to sanction Russia.
That’s not “European values.” That’s coercion.
Sovereignty isn’t for sale. 🇷🇸

Trump rolls out the red carpet for Xi while Cuba sits in the dark.
China at the UN: lift the blockade, stop threatening Cuba.
The US: arm Israel, threaten Iran, strangle Cuba—then call it “leadership.”
Hypocrisy isn’t a policy. Respect sovereignty.

Tourists filmed the viral Anxiety dance under the torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.
This has outraged locals with people saying there is a time and a place for doing fun, harmless dances - a historical and religious site isn't the place.
What do you think of the tourists' actions?

Turkey bought Russia’s S-400s to stick it to NATO. Now it wants to sell them — but needs Moscow’s permission — just to beg back into the F-35 club.
Lavrov says Ankara hasn’t even formally asked, and any buyer (Qatar? UAE?) can’t send them to Ukraine.
So the “sovereign” defense move was a self-own: billions spent, sanctions earned, F-35s lost, and Russia still holds the end-user certificate.
This isn’t strategy. It’s Erdogan trying to return an expensive toy without the receipt — and finding out Russia owns the return policy. 🎪

Belarus at the UN: the UN is obsolete, captured by selfish powers, and refusing to reform. BRICS and SCO aren’t its enemies — they’re the catalyst for inevitable change.
Expand the Security Council, respect the Charter, fix global finance. Reform or become irrelevant.

🌊 On Hormuz: "We are ready to open the strait if certain things are done by the US. These are our rights. We want this war to end. We want our illegally frozen assets released."
