Yes... In case anyone was wondering, Microsoft still sucks in space.

Iran International reporters discovered that their White saviors hate them and are crashing out

A viewer demanded I touch the grass behind me to prove it wasn’t CGI on a green screen.

Our moon. The average US citizen in a nutshell.

Pretty much the end of Russia's once respectable IT industry if these end up broadly implemented. Logical endpoint of one-man rule by a paranoid boomer who has never had either a personal necessity nor the curiosity to use the Internet himself.

The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment. Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law. Netanyahu’s allies in the Knesset just approved a $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United States in January. It is fully within their ability to fund Iron Dome and other defensive systems. Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act.

The worst part of all this with Kristi Noem’s husband is that he’s getting so much free humiliation and ik his jerk sesh is going crazy right about now

This new War on Empathy differs from the zen fascism @cushbomb pointed out from the first Trump admin. This chapter of the War is less about enjoying the bounty of empire and more about the coming scarcity at the end of empire and why you'd be a fool to share with your neighbors

Humans just launched astronauts to the moon and my Twitter algorithm didn't suggest to me a single post about it.

Rural & remote roads/highways costs than $10B per year for maintenance alone. Every single taxpayer would pay $4,000 every 10 years for maintenance alone. Roads generate almost zero direct revenue, and maintenance is an ongoing operating subsidy. Should we end maintenance?

@scottmhayward @dubsndoo We already have a yes. Parliament passed a law deeming the project APPROVED. Where needed, expropriation will be used to build the fast trains and municipality vetoes are gone.

@dubsndoo It's to Quebec City and it's 18-million, which is 44% of the population. There are legitimate criticisms for the cost, but why not propose solutions like a P3 or tax reserve for property owners for their land for the project? Basically, how can we get to "yes" as opposed to "no"?

Look, I get the argument for building high speed rail in a country like Japan where 125 million people are crammed into a country no bigger than Montana, but to build one that would only service a few million people in the Toronto Montreal corridor is clearly insane.

@VirtuaStick @dubsndoo Park and rides are a thing?

@dubsndoo It's even worse than that, you won't be able to park at a high speed rail station. Most people in Toronto and Montreal (and Ottawa) aren't going to bother when they can take a flight for faster and cheaper AND park.

@ErikLindy @dubsndoo Simpsons was great but this episode was 90's brained car propaganda. Simpsons was also guilty of unfairly demonizing nuclear power.

@dubsndoo It worked for Springfield. Why not Canada?

@dubsndoo The current extent of the Shinkansen is around 2300km built across difficult terrains and extremely earthquake prone regions. Meanwhile mediocre Canadians find it difficult to lay down train tracks in the flattest part of the world with practically no seismic activity

@lgsshedden @dubsndoo Love how people never demand business use cases for roads or military spending.

@dubsndoo There is insufficient business case for a high speed line to be economically sustainable and there are significant barriers to location of both the line + terminals. It is simply a white elephant, worse than the California boondoggle.

@xomoc @dubsndoo This is how China got it done. Sorry, not sorry. Enjoy your fair market compensation for your land for progress.

Lets not forget Bill C-15 It gives the Crown corp Alto, or VIA HFR sweeping powers: skips normal Canadian Transportation Agency reviews, streamlines land grabs through expropriation without full hearings, lets ’em slap notices on properties to lock ’em down early, and declares the whole thing a “general advantage of Canada” so Ottawa calls the shots.

you’re watching telly and playing a computer game are you? that’s really impressive

😭😭😭😭😭😭

@hecubian_devil you people take a screen for the whole world

@meganysta @hecubian_devil Yeah this is very much generalizing from the particular.

@hecubian_devil Just because individual Gen z feminist say some stupid stuff doesn't mean that one condemns them as a whole- every generation has some individuals saying some dumb stuff. That is a "get off my lawn" level take

This sort of interaction is useful to explain that ‘Gen Z feminism’ basically does not exist—there is no new feminist theory in dialogue with previous forms, because no one reads or writes more than posts. They call porn “a zionist degeneracy” because they absorb right wing content that blames The Jews for porn and promiscuity. At the same time, they claim to love Dworkin (who was a Zionist) because they’ve never read more than excerpts of her that got reposted on instagram or tumblr. It’s all the same thing: the ideologically incoherent consequence of being fed slop (including human-produced slop) that social media algorithms tune to deliver only that which validates your instincts and emotions. They call themselves feminists because they’ve internalized that’s a good thing to be, and because they’ve found a way to act out “feminism” that’s also like “hyper femininity” which they deeply want to express. It goes in with a constellation of other markers like coquettish aesthetics, chastity, melancholy, thinness, etc, as proof of their exquisite femininity. Their “feminism” is an exercise in personal branding, in negating Maleness as thoroughly as possible, as marking themselves Female as much as possible. That’s why it’s incoherent, because it’s a feminism fundamentally uninterested in the *liberation of women* but rather in the social position and aesthetic of individual women trying to embody their idealized form of gender roles. So it’s not really a theory of “feminism” in the sense of analysis and action concerned with the liberation of women from patriarchy. It’s just been reduced to individual aesthetic expression.
