I think that on some level people sorta assume that someone like Jeffrey Sachs - neoliberal economist at the vanguard of pillaging the USSR - had the perfect redemption arc. You can easily imagine a true believer in neoliberal economics, but also politically reasonable in a way that he'd make suggestions that the dismantling of the USSR would never abide. It makes sense to, because that's kinda like how Jeffrey memorializes himself. Then that person lived long enough to see China's ascension and the US' insanity disprove all of their fundamental beliefs in life.

The cherry on top is that same Jeffrey Sachs goes onto debate against someone like Mearsheimer on the notion that China is inevitably going to behave in the same pattern as the US and the European empires did, fundamentally on the belief that current China treasures peace more than any western elite group ever did.

Would the Administration reach across the aisle and re-rename the comm to TrueFibs?

hypothesis one: pinterest was flooded with AI art and now so is google search

hypothesis two: your boss wants you to use AI. having AI write your article and then having AI make the image makes for two uses out of the 50 in your production quotas.

We basically can't. Both in terms of expertise and in terms of financing. And it would be bad business besides, since China is a main beneficiary of these projects they also have an interest in their completion. It doesn't make sense for Perú and Brazil to finance this themselves.

The cool thing about that quote is that wherever I go I find an absolute consensus around building railworks. Right wingers, left wing developmentists, communists and boomers alike all think Brazil should massively develop rail. There are always naysayers in news like these but in this case they are in the fringes. And the coolest thing is that China being involved seems to dispel most of the cliché pessimism.

Biden couldn't even get an American Pope. This is the real humiliation right there.

the way online indian news seems to react to, well, everything i'd expect them to have a tough choice ahead. either this is ww3 or nothing has ever happened, ever. nothing in between.

I assume both sides got what they wanted, which is to shore up support at home.

the antisemitism awareness act is about raising awareness of antisemitism and everyone already knows that the evangelical christian nationalists are antisemitic so of course there's an exception just for them. checkmate empathy sinners
