A couple of years ago a modern Dutch train got stuck after the overhead lines broke.
Luckily an 1922 steam train from a nearby museum came to the rescue and pulled the modern train home.
What a glorious photo.

"Obviously, swords are male."
The swordmaster gave the student a tired look. "No."
"But sheaths must be fema-"
"Sheaths exist to protect swords from the world, and vice versa. Swords exist to kill and maim."
"Or be pretty," another student said.
"Indeed. And those roles aren't male or female."

Ah nothing like reading the Chief AI Scientist at Meta and a“godfather” of GenAi advocate for the outright pillaging of all of our creative works. Thank you for letting us know our livelihoods and work mean nothing, as long as their dear for profit tech has fodder to train with. 👍

Julius Caesar justified his conquest of England by claiming that the inhabitants were ignorant barbarians on account of the fact that although they had milk, they didn't make cheese.
That might be the most Italian justification of colonialism I've ever heard.
