The *new* lift in my Moscow apartment has never properly worked since it was installed last year Internet barely working. Hot and cold water got switched off today, too. Is Moscow really the greatest city on earth?

I also think it’s an issue of quality? I know Indian restaurants unable/find it much harder and expensive to get ingredients to Moscow restaurants Yes, times are tough, but the main reason I and friends avoid eating out in Moscow is bad quality food, not price
The Moscow Times@MoscowTimes

Restaurant traffic and revenue in Russia have fallen to their lowest levels in 25 years since the start of 2026, an industry group said, as consumers cut back on spending and costs rise. themoscowtimes.com/2026/03/26/rus…

@TurkishAirlines London Heathrow to Istanbul (TK1972) I was given ice cold food from the fridge- beef with rice. Then sachets of butter which were all melted into liquid and went all over my expensive electronics and clothing. Really poor service and disappointing evening

This is common for narcissists: All ends are levelled. A human life. A vote in the House. All enter into a private scale of narcissistic utility. No object in the world is independent of you. Everything is a play thing in your own psychic economy.

Max Dowman was crap by the way. Mykolenko pocketed him at every opportunity. Then Pickford missed a cross, and he scored a goal with no keeper and he’s now the new coming of Messi. Honestly.

@BBCBenTavener I wanted to invite my mother to Moscow. Looks impossible nowadays unless she does a crash course in Russian

Mobile internet still down in central Moscow. Pedestrians, couriers and taxi drivers look lost. People connecting to wifi outside cafés/banks. Vedomosti says sales of pagers, paper maps and landline phones through roof. And now even wifi in the Duma (parliament) reportedly out!

@liz_cookman Look at the other side? Tucker Carlson interviews and the most bizarre mix of “journalists” and other far right freaks masquerading as experts Both sides are plagued with grifters and scam artists

Absolutely wild media strategy here. This man made a career out of Islamophobia and kicking around with Tommy Robinson, before realising he could get more YouTube subs from talking about Ukraine.

“We’re not starting a war, we’re ending one” was a Russian talking point on Ukraine — four years ago.

@jonnytickle In my experience Russians are quite sincere, even naively so, similar to Americans. Russians lack the ability of self-deprecation like the British. They can do it, mock themselves, but their limit is reached much quicker than the British before they feel personally attacked

I always jokingly tell Russians that they’re the same as Americans. Arrogant, self-centred, so big that nobody learns another language (and many people never travel abroad), and all that with a fragile ego that goes straight into defensive mode when a foreigner criticises them

@AbubakerAbedW @s_m_marandi But surely that’s something to praise him for? To constantly invite challenging guests You seem to hate him, yet, by all accounts, routinely watch his show So he must be doing something right?

I honestly can’t understand Piers. He genuinely has no dignity. Imagine inviting a guest three times, and every time, he wipes the floor with you. Professor @s_m_marandi’s interviews are must-study in debate classes in world class schools.

But has deep insider knowledge about Iran’s military/missiles. Just your average guy
