There’s a difference between appreciating your country and idolizing it.

Patriotism invites accountability. Nationalism shuts it down.

EndeavourOS is arch with a nice installer. Lots of good DE options out of the box. Pick one you like the look of, or switch to any in the arch or aur repos after install. Personally, I like hyprland, but it needs a bit of configuration.

It genuinely blows my mind just how unforgiving our cities are.

Too infirm to make it make it to the other end of the pedestrian crossing before the timer runs out?

Boom, you’re now playing real life frogger, and if you get squished by a semi-truck it’s your fault.

How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness A car is often essential in the US but while owning a vehicle is better than not for life satisfaction, a study has found, having to drive too much sends happiness plummeting

“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs & neglected public transport, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.”

A Google translated screenshot of my Prime Video account page after cancelling my subscription. The pertinent text reads, "Your membership will expire on June 12, 2025."

Hey @primevideo.bsky.social, since you didn't ask, your decision to cancel #TheWheelOfTime is why I cancelled you 😘

When you design residential streets to accommodate semi-trucks, people die.

"No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States] shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

Maybe some parts of the Constitution are fuzzy or ambiguous.

If only someone would explain it to you. 😆

If you are going to read and watch, be prepared for the experiences to mess with each other. The show is fantastic, but it's a streamlined and rewoven tapestry. Those who can see it as another turning tend to enjoy it more than those trying to fit it into their existing pattern.

What an ending. How can they not renew this gem? #WoTsky #WoTskies

Surely he means Jeanine Caide tried a moment before?

Apparently Kate Fleetwood, who plays Liandrin, has it in her heritage and suggested the accent as something she could slip back into when going home to a port city. I think it grew from there to other characters.

Good news! It's the final song of the season 3 soundtrack!

It's been one of the catchiest on the OST since it came out, but I, like Elayne, did not realize what it was about until she started singing it.

Opinion | Canada, May I Introduce You to Ukraine? (Gift Article) We already know what happens when great powers feel entitled to their zones of control, and the strong try to dominate the weak.

A modified still from episode 4 of season 3, showing a large white sphere (the Sharom) floating in the sky above a golden wheat field. Several da'shain aiel wearing wide-brimmed hats are working the field. The image has been altered to include a cartoon blue whale and a small bowl petunias, both appearing to float in the sky near the sphere. At the bottom of the image, text reads "all will be well..." This edited image combines elements from "The Wheel of Time" (the Sharom sphere and field scene) with a reference to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the whale and bowl of petunias that famously materialize and fall from the sky). This suggests of impending catastrophe for the everyone and everything in this still. All, in fact, will not be well :(

this is not for everyone. also, sorry 😔

Abandoning Ukraine will be a permanent stain on our history, and it will give Putin encouragement to try to conquer more of the world. The Senator understands that, and so should Musk.

Trump’s Policies Have Shaken a Once-Solid Economic Outlook (Gift Article) Economic forecasts have deteriorated in recent weeks, reflecting the upheaval from federal layoffs, tariff moves and immigration roundups.

Trump inherited an economy that was firing on all cylinders. Now, just weeks into his tenure, the outlook is far gloomier -- and the sudden deterioration is due almost entirely to his policies and the uncertainty they have created.

Very few Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are among the safest streets on earth. Why?

They understand it’s more beneficial to calm motor traffic, build dedicated infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable users to armour up.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Facts: Putin is a dictator and murderer. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for their lives. America used to stand up against tyrants. This is not who we are as a nation. Disgraceful.

Congestion Pricing Reduced Traffic. Now It’s Hitting Revenue Goals. (Gift Article) Revenue figures from the Manhattan tolling plan showed that the program is on track to raise billions for mass transit repairs.

New York's congestion pricing toll has reduced traffic and sped up commutes. Now it's also hitting its revenue goals: $48 million raised in its first month. President Trump still wants to kill it. Free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/n...

This early release song by Dirt Poor Robins sure seems to capture how a lot of the world feels right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwPZ...

Remember the Bucha Massacre? Putin was responsible for this atrocity and now the United States is making nice with him? While extorting Ukraine for minerals and threatening to cut off Starlink access? Instead of standing up to Putin we are trying to force Ukraine to surrender. Fucking disgraceful.
