And hear people are complaining about how much the high-speed rail costs. Fuckers won’t bad an eye about how much this costs. And yes, I know that the total CAHSR cost is astronomical but it covers the entire state (ish). THIS??? πŸ˜‘

Pittsburgh is more culturally northeastern than Midwestern, at least when it comes to the city itself.

The real dividing line between the north east and the Midwest I believe is Youngstown, Ohio.

I’d make some minor adjustments for this, but this is pretty accurate

I think people are just underwhelmed. I like most of it.

I think the artist herself is more of the Target of people’s ire right now.

I don’t know what hurts more… that I lost my biggest male-role model aside from my father or that I lost the last actual friend I had in my home state aside from my parents.

I haven’t felt *this* empty in a long time.

And all this AI will cost Americans just 100% increase in electricity and water bills every year. Also, this increase in energy costs means an increase in literally everything else.

Everything is downstream of energy and water, food, and energy production all form a nexus.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

100% This. And my anger and disappointment on this is why in conjunction with everything else I now hate this country and wish to abandon it.

A Popular Front of Memory As the right begins to revise their view of Hitler, we must revive the example Churchill set in that era.

"Churchill rallied a broad front against fascism. He set the table for the postwar liberal settlement. He even, in the fight against fascism, made choices that would doom the future viability of his beloved British Empire." www.liberalcurrents.com/a-popular-fr...

Dear USA
I am not on here for politics. But each morning on the other side of the world i read the news from various sources (not from MAGA USA state media tho) about what is happening there. It does my head in. I’m no historian or expert on these things but your country is a joke

Thank you for speaking frankly about your foreign view of us. It’s refreshing in a sick way.

I am working on my finances in an attempt to leave. I’ve lost all patriotism and I have no hope for this place. I am a demographic that may be targeted for ethnic cleansing in the future & I fear for that.

I’m an American who has always hated the Republican Party (which is functionally dead - it’s just Nazis now). I didn’t vote for this or want this. A slight majority of us didn’t, but we couldn’t all solidify behind Harris and even if we had, we’d have been usurped by the electoral college.

I really love being told out of the blue that one of the few good railfan friends I know who is NOT an evil, low-tier cuntservative Nazi had a stroke…

I have to wonder why this kind of thing can’t happen to bad railfans like Jon Leese or James Byberg. Tired of good people unfairly getting hurt.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

I don’t think I’ve heard Volcel. But I think I know what it means.

Not since Continental ended ther Heathrow flight in 2009.

Cleveland has 51 PEWD to/from LHR. That’s higher than most of the nearby airports. Yet two of those, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, have service from BA. Maddening.
