I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

it remains utterly baffling to me that a party whose leadership is historically unpopular with its base gets a generational political talent who is actually resonating with people and instead of thanking their lucky stars they’re like WE MUST STOP THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

All of your candidates failed to generate excitement in the base and lost, except for the one who did, but then flipped on everything immediately.

the current shinkansen go around 200mph and sometimes u can stand in a train station as one goes by without stopping and it is just incredible how fast it is moving even though they probably even slow down a bit to go thru the station
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️
