I don’t think slowing climate change is the motivation… More like to reduce dependence on fossil and become a leader in renewable techs.

Trump broke the law and nothing happened? A tale as old as time…

That looks comfortable. I guess I’ve reached the “envious of a mushroom” stage of dystopia

So much for the tolerant left /s

In terms of social culture, I think the two are closer than what most westerners would be comfortable admitting. In terms of military capability… Well Russia is a few years into its “three day special military operation” so not much else needs to be said.

“The gap between 25,000 and 339 speaks volumes” wow that’s a blatant lie. 339 children returned woth a delegation, adding to a previous ~1200. There are databases of thousands: that was just one occurrence of some being returned.

If the writer is that disingenuous, there’s no point listening to the rest.

The only people in the west who fear Russia are boomers who got swept up in USSR cold-war propaganda. Most well-informed people in the US for example, don’t even see Russia as a near peer.

Uuuuugh

Bingo. These are the same people who will say that most political violence comes from the left while removing a study showing the opposite: a study about a statistical trend that has been well known and documented for longer than I’ve been alive.

They don’t care. Their beliefs shape shift to fit whatever is most expedient in the moment. They will openly lie to your face, without even trying to hide that it’s a lie while they smile and say they’re being honest. The people who gaslit the nation about project 2025 only to have cabinet members gleeposting about implementing it on social media.

Truth is irrelevant and reality is an inconvenience. Hypocrisy is as dead to them as the corpse of civility they prop up whenever it suits their narrative.

Same reason why tankies don’t just move to China, or why some Canadians had Trump bumperstickers: the point is to take over and wield authority as a weapon. Of course they try to invade and pollute every space they can and muddy waters wherever possible.

You’d think legislatures would care more about elder care given the fact that they’re all fucking ancient but I guess 1) theyre rich so fuck the poors and 2) ghouls don’t care about discomfort anyways

JXL is the rightful heir to the throne and none of these treasonous corporate usurpers in the court can convince me otherwise. I’ll never bow to the Webp or Avif factions. While it looks bleak, I pray the crown finds its way to the head of the true king. Long live the Jpeg bloodline!

But really, webp was pushed because it supports DRM and avif is an implementation detail turned feature afterthought just because webp adoption sucked as much as the format does. I love AV1 for video but avif isn’t fit for purpose and webp is garbo. I really wish they didn’t take jpegxl out behind the shed for no good reason… It has some awesome engineering.

Performative civility. The dems would hold a vigil for Hitler if their consultants said it would appeal to uncommitted moderate voters.

I get it’s trying to be timely clickbait but why the FUCK would i want to read anything he else he’s said? I heard enough thanks. Tons of people are glad he’s dead just for the very fact we don’t have to hear his constant bullshit anymode; why would I click to read more?

Unless he texted “ugh this sucks, I wish someone would shoot me rn” I really don’t care.

By the time the international community recognizes a Palestinian state, there won’t be any Palestinians in it

Putin’s bitch

But the shareholders (tourists?)

Well, I skimmed it…

This is all because Obama wore a tan suit

Compelling findings, but we’ve known for a long time now that their climate models fail to account for one crucial factor that changes the whole equation: the shareholders would jump off a cliff if you promised them above-market returns the whole way down.

I struggle to see it too, but I think I’d rather her lose than newsom win. I’ve always been a “harm reduction” sort, but I see NO way out through the dem establishment: a third senile trump term would probably be better in the long run than watching the ratchet click yet again. America needs change and leadership that actually believes in something positive enough to fight for it.
