Book a week challenge 2025:
Week 1 (I started late but will catch up.)
Honestly, incredible writing. Invented a lot of modern SciFi ideas. I feel like the politics of the book is a bit deeper than some of the criticism of it I've read. (It's clearly a bad society imo.)

EV Sales Growth Is Slowing. Are Hybrids the Solution?
EV Sales Growth Is Slowing. Are Hybrids the Solution?
A global shift toward zero-emission vehicles is taking longer than expected, complicating efforts to decarbonize road transport and alleviate urban pollution. The car industry is pushing a stopgap solution: hybrid vehicles that combine a traditional internal combustion engine with batteries and electric motors.

Fully agree. I hope more sporting organizations and businesses follow Skate Canada’s leadership. We all must stand up and speak out against discrimination.

What I love about these articles is you give these maladjusted psycho paths just enough rope.
Yeah you sound like a great mom, turning a personal fight over years into content. Really cool and balanced shit. You and your psycho brigade are the normal ones.
Also this author is dogshit.

Please comeback to twitter, nothing's been fixed, the nazi who owns the site is even more delusional, and it's clearly cooking the centrists who remain on the platforms brain. Noah Smith alone has shed 75 IQ, how he's still alive is honestly incredible.

To hear the back story to this one, just look up "Rod Dreher Primitive Root."
One more example of "the Woke Right" narrative, where the right tries to frame members who have gone too far as actually sort of leftist. In Fuentes case, it is the overt nature of the anti-semitism. Dreher has no problem working for a govt whose leader (Orban) engages in dog-whistle anti-semitism.
