Also not much sympathy from EU and Canada after assassination campaign, and fence sitting in the Ukrainian war.

Between not authorising foreign rolling stock, blocking night routes and refusing to sell other companies’ tickets, SNCF is significantly holding back rail travel across all of Europe! This cannot continue.

AI chat bots cannot actually report the news. And I don’t say this on aesthetic grounds - I say this on “they do not exist in 3D space” grounds.

We will soon have no news whatsoever if this continues.

Too many people still either haven’t realized this, or don’t want to believe it, but it’s true.

is there ever a regret phase?
