Watching Top Gun: Maverick While Planning a Censored Angry Pages Archive

9:45 p.m.

I'm watching Top Gun Maverick.

Again. 2nd time. 4K.

I'm keen on my new Angry Pages website.

Most likely we're going to censor off anything that's too mean-spirited.

But it's there.

As the big thing is that it's a historical record and so, it's never going to be changed from its original writing.

Only some parts of it will be blacked off for political sensitivity. As they are very offensive. But it's still there in original form on here, and also if you buy a copy of that week.

For like $3.50 bucks.

Hehehe

Must be 1,000s of pages.

The image is a video frame depicting an older person wearing glasses, a dark jacket, and a light-colored scarf.

The individual's expression is contemplative, with slightly pursed lips, giving an impression of deep thought or reflection. The lighting is warm and focused on the person, highlighting their features against the darker background. The composition centers the individual, capturing them from the shoulders up, while a wooden chair is partially visible. The mood conveyed is introspective, possibly indicating an interview or personal conversation. The frame does not contain any visible text or branding, keeping the focus on the subject's expression and attire.

Condemning Bandula’s Poverty Claims and Russia’s Conduct in Ukraine

1:30 a.m.

(b)

This Bandula guy infamously claimed families in SL should live on Rs 4,000 or 6,000 or I dunno, Rs 10,000 per month. Ridiculous. Only time Thilanga disagreed, saying they need Rs 20,000 -- for which Rajapaksa gave him flak.

When I asked Nimal Perera's kid Harshana, as Nimal is casino-boss Dhammika Perera's business partner, , he reasoned, maybe yeah in a far off, rural area.

This guy is now apologizing for "arresting aircraft" on Twitter, to the Russians when we just learn now that Ukraine has rescued 7 Sri Lankan nationals who were students being held captive hostages in a basement by the Russian military.

It's really shameful. Shameless really. Terrible.

The Russians or the Russian Government, they have a strategy of paying a lot of money, very expensively, to afford patrons in public officials or decision makers with authority over determining tenders and approving budgets.
