The milkmaid and the loft with the drone coop!
Caraca!

I can see him crying into his kombucha, “G.L.A.S.H.A.!” At least until his wife shows up…
Hahahahah!
The planet of broken hearts!
Probably better than the Libertarian hellscape a few craters over.
Elon Musk eat your heart out.
Absolutely brilliant!
All the … stuff… goes directly to the black hole.
Love it!
Ah, the dystopia…
This is the future anarchists want!
Also someone needs to tell him about the (very much real) embedivet, started by a couple friends of mine. https://www.embedivet.com/

I want a translation of the songs!
I want to know where I can get a recording of the songs!
From my Russian friend:
The folk songs are actually about sad robots and copters with low charge. Hilarious. There are references to old Soviet movie (with the wife), special to Russians.
If you don’t watch the last few seconds of the film you may have missed the caption “Russian Mars Colonization Program.”
“Cyber” makes sense, although the stand-in for “punk” actually seems to be a stereotypical Russian patina of corrosion, damage, questionable design, and ill-maintenance layered on to all the “cyber”. Nikolay’s future can’t escape the present.
