the thing that cracked me up about that is that WV primary voters did the same thing in 2008, voting for hilary to stick it to the party, and the PUMAs misread it the exact same way.
one thing hyperloop did succeed at is eroding elite support for high-speed rail by handing them a vaporware project to fawn over instead.
immigrants get pulled to hot economies, same as citizen workers from other communities. if there isn't already a housing surplus, rates go up.
airBnB doesn't help, but mismatch of supply and demand is the core driver.
it is getting to be a serious problem in most suburbs and a lot of small towns. basically anywhere with positive population growth and a hot economy. we're seeing the early stages of it—and the inevitable anti-growth homeowner movement—in small town SC.
i'm still partial to the fox from the disney version, but wesley is definitely up there.
even more the 80s, but generally yeah.
the ottomans never controlled iran, the border between them and the safavids was remarkably similar to the present-day iran/iraq border.
with so many different things, trump is just going back to obsessing over shit from the 80s in his dementia.
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

You know who does believe in Rules of Engagement? Ukraine Does.
You know who does not? Putin's Russia.
Guess who the USA is now modelling itself on?
GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
we may get there yet
As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:
Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.
Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
which is kind of incredible given that 9/11 happened right after said coming of age, as an indelible example of The News Happening To Them.
hence, the psychotic break most of this country had in response to it. but still, still kind of amazing the hard lesson rolled off so many of these idiots.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
i am really excited to see what the electrification of transportation does in loud/polluted asian cities. last year when i was in taiwan, there were a ton of electric scooters on the road, and the drop in exhaust/noise was dramatic. i heard the company (gogoro) was setting up in india.
Look, I am going to need speakerphone to go away. Don't tell me you have no idea how ear buds or headphones work. If you use speakerphone out loud, people hate you. Same with keyboard clicky clacks. Are you a fictional cow trying to get heated blankets in the barn at the farm? Turn that shit off
First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
"100% on target."

wait, the dad's british? that certainly adds an interesting wrinkle to the story. an aspirational texan, apparently.
people's real grudge is against winter being dark. it's all so dumb.
that was a different montana GOP pol, greg gianforte.
We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.
Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.
But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤
