Man hoards McDonald’s burgers as company closes stores in Russia

Mar 10 2022

Just this week, McDonald’s announced that they will be temporarily closing all of their Russian restaurants as part of the many sanctions imposed on the country.

However, upon hearing the news, many Russian citizens decided they were not ready to give up on Big Macs and other products by the fast food giant.

One man in particular made it his absolute mission to stockpile the beloved burgers into one massive collection which is set to last him a long time.

A man took to Reddit to post the snapshot, captioning the photo ‘McDonald’s is closing in Russia so here is my friend’s stash.’ The photograph shows a fridge full of burgers by the fast food outlet, alongside pineapples, orange juice and other essentials.

Given how long the McDonald’s sandwiches are known to last, the man could be set for a very long time. However, if the burgers remain edible is another story entirely.

McDonald’s announced the closure of around 850 restaurants in Putin’s Russia on Tuesday 8th, following the country’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine. Despite it being a weird site to behold, it’s still somewhat sad considering why the hoard was created in the first place.

Bernard Grech proposes a halt to electoral campaign to support Ukraine

Mar 10 2022

During the University political debate, Opposition leader Bernard Grech suggested that political leaders halt the electoral campaign to show respects to Ukraine during the invasion.

The PN leader suggested that on Saturday, the electoral campaigns are halted and instead, politicians from either party demonstrate peacefully and march in favour of the Ukrainian people.

As of yet, Prime Minister Robert Abela has refused to stop the electoral campaign as more events are planned for throughout the weekend.

During the debate, Grech insisted that it is important Malta has a prime minister who adheres to values and does not do this when the public opinion turns against him. This is in reference to the refusal to halt sale of Maltese passports to Russian elites.

The stopping of this scheme was initially refused by Maltese authorities, but they then decided to stop it following public opinion. Meanwhile, activists are protesting in support of Ukraine all over the world, with local demonstrators taking to the doorstep of the Russian Embassy.

Elon Musk welcomes second child named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk

Mar 10 2022

Elon Musk and Grimes have secretly and officially welcomed their second child into the world, and the child’s name is as weird as their previous kid.

The first baby boy was born back in May 2020, and was called X Æ A-12, which the parents pronounce as X A.I. Archangel or X for short.

The second child born to the billionaire philanthropist and Tesla CEO was named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, otherwise known as ‘Y’…

The child is apparently named after a supercomputing term exaFLOPS, which is apparently the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second. Don’t ask, we don’t get it either.

The baby name’s ‘Dark’ element is a nod to the unknown, and Grimes said that people fear without knowing that it’s simply the absence of photons. ‘Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.’

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, used a surrogate when it came to her second child’s birth, and this allowed the couple to keep their daughter a secret. This comes after the pair seemingly broke up last year.

Musk revealed that she considers Musk her boyfriend, but they live in separate houses and see each other all the time. ‘We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.’

Grimes also revealed that the couple always wanted around three or four children, and with the birth of ‘Y’, it seems they are already halfway there.

Mar 10 2022

The first half of the game was very close between both teams. Real Madrid had a sense of urgency to find their needed goals, whilst PSG’s aim was to try and control the match, score a goal and keep an important clean sheet. Both teams had various chances to open the scoresheet, but it was PSG that got the first goal of the game in the 39th minute when French superstar Kylian Mbappe managed to score a tidy strike.

The second half was all Real Madrid. They looked hungrier and more motivated to find goals and create chances. PSG looked tired out but were still able to create many chances due to their talent up top with players like Neymar Jr, Messi and Mbappe. Madrid scored their much awaited first goal of the tie in the 61st minute with a clinical finish. The Spanish team and specifically Karim Benzema then went on a crazy 20 minute run where the Frenchman scored another two goals in the 76th and 78th minute to send PSG out of the Champions League.
