Jet Bin Fever - 2014-02-18
I like the music, seems like a fun party. I guess the best part of a revolution is the ability to make giant bonfires and throw furniture in them.
Oh shit, teargas canisters going off and rocks flying everywhere. Holy shit... that changed the mood pretty fast.

baleen - 2014-02-18 Just to understand what is happening:
Thousands of cops are surrounding these people, its the last stand. They've erected a fire all around them. It's a siege to the death, basically. They aren't giving up and I wonder what situation with the supplies is. You can see tents, but they're also throwing their jackets into the fire, which is really extremely moving and intense.
At least 14 confirmed deaths so far. Two armored trucks have been set on fire and two cops killed.
Some are suggesting the casualties are much higher.

baleen - 2014-02-19 I doubt there will be a 100+ hour stream archive up on youtube in one file but there will surely be people capping this and uploading it in segments somewhere online.

For a toady, Yukanovych probably could have chosen to time his crackdown not to distract from Putin's party.

infinite zest - 2014-02-19
Woke up this morning and started watching it again. There's no way to make this like a live feed update, but holy shit. After a series of speeches I could unfortunately not understand, but think I got the gist of, the PA system played something that sounded like Palestrina, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it was silence, and now it's a folk singer and everyone's singing again.

Billy the Poet - 2014-02-19 On the second day there seems to have been an uptick in the on-mic talent. They had a folk singer on this afternoon (US time) who was just haunting.

EvilHomer - 2014-02-19 Yeah, this thing is going totally corporate now. Celebrities and singers; man, I was watching Kiev when that shit was still underground!
OH, WAIT, SOMETHING ELSE JUST BLEW UP.
Something about Russians being greedy bankers with ties to.. Ireland? I don't fucking know anymore.
And there's some nerds blogging away on their computers!
