"We have decided to give them a medal!"

And yet the reporting on this protest is how I heard about the drilling leases.

Think globally. Act locally.

Anne Hidalgo does some very cool stuff.

They'll do the Japanese thing and allow slightly more Filipino nurses to immigrate to take care of all their geriatrics and nothing else.

Japan and South Korea are gonna ride their xenophobia until the wheels fall off.

I did read the article. You tell me how they're not the dog that caught the car. These reactionary Asian parents got what they wanted and now there will be fewer black kids admitted to top universities, but they're still driving their own kids to ever higher suicide rates. Paying even more for private tutors. Demanding even more extracurriculars, even more cram schools. Asian-American parents are prisoners-dilemma-ing their children into misery with little to show for it because in their effort to dismantle one of the few policies that was working to reduce the systemic racial education gap in our society, they never once noticed that the systemic racism that also affects them is the same reason their kids still aren't going to be CEOs or senators.

Well yeah, now they don't have a scapegoat for if they fail.

The dog that caught the car.

Ah yes. In order to solve the problems created by forced relocation and forced annexation, simply do more forced relocation and forced annexation.

Don't they always surround Gaza City on 3 sides? The sea to the west, north, and east?

Depends on how bad the US wants that lithium.

The gist of the article is mainly: there isn't any evidence China is actually subsidizing green tech, it's just that land, labor, and materials are cheaper there and they've massively scaled production. The US and its allies claim that because their prices are so low they must be cheating, but there's little evidence to support this, and retaliatory tariffs are kneecapping the West's efforts to decarbonize.

You know the US does have groups of people cordoned off in New Mexico? We have similar situations all over the US. They're called Indian Reservations and we did regularly massacre the people that lived there (Wounded Knee being the most famous example).

But at least by 1924 we gave Native Americans citizenship and therefore the right of free movement. It only took about 150 years but they at least got basic rights eventually, even if the discrimination and violence continues.

Israel can't even meet the standards of decency that America, a continuously not-decent country figured out for itself before Israel even existed.

I didn't know there were non-Oregon residents here.

Ouch I just stubbed my toe. Better bomb Iran about it. I burnt my mouth on my pizza rolls. Time to bomb Iran.

Believe it or not, Cal-Oregon State was pretty close in the first half as well.

For a while, Facebook was going to be putting some money into rebuilding the Dumbarton Rail Bridge and having a stop at its campus (pictured) on a route between Redwood City and Hayward, but with remote work and interest rates being what they are now it seems unlikely it'll ever go anywhere.

I am similarly skeptical of this. No doubt there is some congressional funding mandate to maintain some level of readiness. I've also been told that the arms going to Ukraine were things we were going to be replacing anyway, so that it is apparently leaving the US armed forces undersupplied kind of makes that sound like it was a lie.

One of the goals mentioned in the article is a re-privatization of a formerly Russian-owned bank that was nationalized. That just seems to be the US strategy of "if it's done by the private sector it can't be corruption".

I refuse to believe that the US Armed Forces are running low on funding for anything.
