Fast Trains in Hot Weather Can Spark Fires. Why Are Speed Limits Secret? | The Tyee Ottawa requires trains to slow in high temps. But feds and rail giants are mum on key details.

They are some of Canada’s most important speed limits. They are also secret. 🚂

We are fucking pissed off, and we are also watching our neighbour and frankly, our best ally and protector, trash itself, hollow out its democracy, and become a mafia fascist state with no visible bottom to how bad it can get. So yeah.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

I grew up believing the news media sought truth, and not ways to soft-frame fascist corruption. Man, was I ever duped.

This Trump Tower thing is code for $1.5B bribe.

Though I bet the price has gone up since Michael Cohen fielded it ten years ago.

RFK Jr. in interview with Scripps News: ‘Trusting the experts is not science’ HHS Secretary RFK Jr. sat down with Scripps News for a wide-ranging interview, discussing mRNA vaccine funding policy changes and a recent shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.

I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Just like the immigration and economy “emergencies,” the case for federalization of DC policing is exactly the opposite of one

Fascism before your eyes, and the media won't report it as such.

So basically your average 4x4 Bro?

Man, the 4x4 facebook groups are crazy. They're currently sharing information on how to get to a certain beach on a lake in the Chilliwack area that involves fording a fish bearing creek.

The only advice is "don't get caught", not "don't fuck up the fish habitat"

A Statement from Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America: Gold will not be Tariffed!

if "bigballs attacked by two 15 year olds" is our Reichstag fire then i officially declare an end to history because we don't want anybody reading that shit later

A useful thought exercise is to consider the question of which hypothetical outrages could be shocking enough for any of the big bad men of this era to face real consequences for their actions, and then write down what you think up so you can keep an ongoing checklist of all the ways you were wrong.

Deleting a post about Israel “accidentally” killing international journalists because I missed that they had declared them terrorists.

Everyone involved in this genocide needs to be sent to The Hague

Pete Hegseth's mother begged him to The denomination's leader argues men

As Pete Hegseth inches closer to admittedly publicly what he obviously believes — that women shouldn't have a right to vote — I want to re-up the article I wrote about this in December.

It's about Hegseth's church and how radical they are.

If only there were a 4-star army senior leader who was *literally there* on the day in question and could say something like “Flo Groberg saved my life that day, he is an American hero and the Army won’t apologize for recognizing that”

This is disgusting and the Secretary of the Army should demand an immediate retraction and apology. I have zero confidence that he or General George or any Army senior leader will do this, however.

Is the coming American line going to be that Russia "earned" the parts of Ukraine they stole via an illegal invasion?

A Small European Nation Has a Big Explosions Problem

Well unfortunately it’s a case of the lesser of two evils.

It's not just that he's deeply corrupt, he's also unbelievably tacky.

Absolutely incredible accomplishment for such a meaningful cause.
