Scholten voted for the Laken Riley Act, which is directly responsible for 18k detentions in the past year

there’s no way this doesn’t conclude with a tremendous PRC tech manufacturing boom

PG&E would never allow that

Dont stop on [interstate 5] north of Vancouver at night if your black or visibly trans

I’m pretty fucking white but anecdotally that area is a land of contradictions. I stopped at a gas station there once and people tried giving me cash because I looked homeless (they weren’t wrong). But I also know right-wingers move there when they’re too racist to live in portland

you’re married to a lurker? horrifying

No it’s authoritarian when the average person has economic rights. Don’t you like how capitalists plan cities and everything they choose to invest in?

how will shen yun continue operating if they can use these instead of abusing women

Pretty sure he said that to larp as the 21st century hitler

Your california envy is unfounded until the state proves itself to be better. Until the track is laid CAHSR can’t be proven to be more than a complex corruption scheme. It won’t be until the late 2030s/2040s until SF to LA is built assuming they find funding and start planning the tunnel out of the bay area ASAP. LA to SD isn’t even in the planning phase, hopefully we’re alive to see it.

And walkable LA and SD could only happen with mass land reform (likely post-revolution) and post-reconstruction. SF has decent walkability but NIMBYs are trying to gut the BART system so it might get worse

California could be incredible though for sure. If they manage to navigate insane wildfires, biblical flooding, the colorado river dying, and the crises of capitalism, in 100 years it could be a paradise

Although this is true, can you imagine how annoying he must be in person? His parents hate him. This is what the customs people had to deal with

Fuck charters, what a vile way to keep teachers out of unions

how tf did they get samples of bro

I think it’s good to be afraid of guns. Armories to hold onto guns until they’re needed are a good invention

ZA/UM is coming out with a demo for their next game Zero Parades on the 23rd. Looks like a DE clone aesthetically. I don’t want to play it but I am curious how badly they’ll fuck up the politics

at least they’re dangling it for you

straight doing 100% the work of the level above me for at least the past year with no chance of a promotion

last night I dreamt xi came to my house and complemented my cooking

what does this mean

Was Biden even for gay marriage? He definitely wasn’t in the 90s. He could have enforced it in a bill, but like abortion which he was VERY against, didn’t

Did they get her semen in time

I’ve read mixed things on whether any of the planted trees are native. If they purely selected trees for fast growth, nothing native to the ecosystem will find its niche and grow. Even if they are native and its a monoculture, that doesn’t guarantee that other native plants will find their way into it

I’m more familiar with forestry practices in the US, but in forests where a single tree is replanted the regular species do not return in significant numbers

the hundreds of settlers who marched through a few days ago should have been abducted
