I'm office building neighbors with Raytheon, always wondered what they were up to, just up there designing rockets on the forth floor?

makes sense if they are running payroll and whatnot lol

Put the hydrogen fuel cells on the freight ships not the freight trains, I say 😅

it was the golden age of fansubs

anyone who says american culture was at its best in the early 2000s needs to have their head examined for severe injuries

one of the first things I did on this site was repost it here

Jarvis got his start in politics in the John Birch Society and pioneered effective organizing in the burbs and the modern conservative movement. It speaks to everything going on today.

plus it's about LA, great academy award bait.

The people demand more Howard Jarvis content

Reagan isn't interesting. A blind idiot God, an empty front-man for grifters and jesus freaks who've taken over of country. We need more Nixon movies.

Trends can stop and it didn't.

In Japanese folklore when your house cat grows old it might grow a second tail, turn into a nekomata and start running scams

Adam Smith talks about this common practice in The Wealth of Nations. Well it sounded more like you'd pay your tuition directly to your prof.

Kids can get CHIP, there are also other buckets of money for birth control

Don't we know why, it's a combo of long acting reversible contraceptive technology and the public policy to fund it

Power will get so cheap that people are going to think of new things to use daytime electricity on and hopefully it won't all be holding the Texas grid hostage with your BTC mining operation.

Nothing but respect for FT-reading leftists

I do think organized boycotts could be effective action, but I mostly hear about divestment of publicly traded companies. In general people are so sure that Israel has no agency as a US client state, so they treat this like it's a US war and call for military-industrial divestment.

Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New World are both stuck with too-short seasons, but without the curse of Season Long Plot, and are great for it.

Same genre as tax fraud i reckon

Passing yet-another-CEQA reform, yet another tweak is the state religion of California. There's a handful literally every year. Look where it has gotten us. Maybe we need laws that don't assume the current built environment is perfect. CARB doesn't!

What

I hope senators are asking *why* he is lying. Does he think a SCOTUS judge supporting an insurrection might be problematic for the judge?

we need a slightly scummy superpac to fund sending targeted mailers about how RFK Jr wants to honor the confederacy

😅

I just mean I can't trust it, even/especially if it's telling me something I want to believe.

Wish this wasn't a NY Post article 😅

To do a boycott you gotta engage with and care about the details. You could imagine* a boycott of Israeli-cut diamonds, which would require recommending artificial diamonds or figuring out who has the Indian-cut diamonds. Which isn't very anti-capitalist.

*Why is this in the land of imaginations!?

Yeah really the issue might be the leaderless movement, nobody can say "guys knock it off with Starbucks boycott, it makes no sense"

I like this idea, just to better establish a taboo on public photography.

On paper it seems fine but in reality I don't think you can run a BDS movement with a bunch of anti-capitalists. Or maybe the current moment of "no ethical consumption under capitalism" makes it impossible.

well other nations really are doing not-great, so there's no disconnect 😅

so you can't just say "inflation" or whatever and be done with it, because we've had inflation before, and this didn't happen. it also doesn't explain why this phenomenon is happening almost exclusively in the united states.

It's an illegal thing to say anyways. Academia is kinda bonkers.

Everyone was too busy with their PTSD in the 1920s

It's a manga called "Who Wants to Marry a Billionaire?"

She's from a sci-fi game where she destroys a bunch of robots

Hahaha

0% chance Alito was avoiding other social gatherings

She literally anticipates all this in the video 😆

You probably do, it's so watchable

How are these contracts legal ha

they need to be introduced to the slice of life genre, where the main antagonist is miscommunication 😅

I grew up in Columbia, Missouri, the blue dot in the middle of Missouri, but can't think of anything distinctive enough about it to make a joke

feels like actually paying out the stock will be damaging in ways that will become obvious. But I agree the stock market won't price this in.

We need to grow more food in vats, so yeah going out of our way to grow fuel in the ground does seem illogical lol

Thinking about how Tampere Finland bike infrastructure is so enviable 😅

I think reversing a veto requires a special session and ruining everyone's November in California, maybe that's all it is lol

Not the important thing but just thinking how this almost never happens in California. I'm guessing the overall dynamic of single party rule is pretty similar to Oklahoma.

California's eastern border was drawn to include all the best resources. Nevada and Arizona are rejected California. So it following natural contours makes sense.

Its clearly intended that you elect 12 weekends instead 😅 it doesn't sound like such a bad idea tbh, it's funny to call it national service

It's just ole San Andreas, off the coast
