        Oh, uh, prior to this entire god damn shit show, he was primarily known for playing the piano with his penis on TV. It was like a signature bit.

        I don’t have enough context to know if it’s funnier in ukranian, but I can’t imagine he’s had time to play it much recently.

          That whole thing has blown my mind this entire time about how this is going to be covered in the history books. “So yeah, Jimmy Kimmel got elected to the presidency—yeah, the ‘girls jumping on trampolines’ guy, him—and then two years later, the country was invaded. …Oh, by who? Sorry, uh, it was…Satan, yeah.”

          We’ve gone pretty deep into Anime plot territory at this point. The asymmetry of Zelenskyy leading a nation that Putin is invading, and then going on to hold his own for five years, is just astounding.
