No, what a ridiculous thing to say. Wasn't something like this posted months ago? China will be the world's first electro state. Until it becomes an e-fuel exporter, this comparison is really unwarranted.

How would that be possible? Dialectics is the first thing they throw away, and Engels is always the fall guy when these sorts of opportunists seek to distort Marx's thinking so thoroughly.

There has also been work done on supersonic planes that produce shockwaves that make much less noise.

The old ban was for flight faster than Mach 1, yet was ostensibly put in place due to outcry over sonic booms. Well, if it's sonic booms that people care about, that is an issue of (loud) shock waves. The executive order instead asks for an interim regulation based on noise, the actual part of sonic booms that people take issue with and which is actually fixable. So, it's good!

The other issue is the energetics of supersonic flight. It takes more fuel, and thus pollutes and costs more, and is thus also for the rich only. All true. The only way to address the environmental factor is to bring down the cost of synthetic aviation fuel by greatly increasing green energy production. By the time a supersonic airliner is ready to fly in a couple decades, China will probably be able to do this assuming the administration(s) in Northern America are willing to import.

Can you post the article text? It's paywalled and the archives don't have the full version.

Hmm I don't actually recall anything other than having brought it in... Another time we did an early colonial play and my mom made my pilgrim costume. It was not black and white. I was made fun of by my idiot classmates.

All of these are good but most sacrifice snackability due to their larger size so I'll just go with the classic

Actually I consider this graphic to be eugenics of the highest order, an appeal to "natural instinct," and an assault to socialist values. Prey/predators engage in role reversal during play in the wild—the frog was not especially stupid!

 

Deputy government spokesman Anukool Pruksanusak said the ministry is supporting the government's policy on marriage equality by emphasising not only physical health care but also mental health protection for sexually diverse individuals.

During its budget planning for 2025, the National Health Security Board has approved 145.63 million baht to provide health services, including hormone therapy, for transgender citizens. This allocation aims to provide care for about 200,000 transgender patients.

I do wonder what the process is like for getting your HRT funded, though.

US federalism is hilarious because you will have nationalists circlejerking about "laboratories of democracy" and then immediately introduce federal legislation to prevent any deviation from average state policy.

Warning for anyone aspiring to do sewer socialism in the US again.

 
 

Some excerpts:

In total, 37 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and three Independents voted in favor of the bill.

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) led efforts to remove the anti-trans language from the NDAA by introducing Amendment 3332, which aimed to strike the discriminatory provisions. The amendment garnered support from 24 of her Senate colleagues. However, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at some point requested the amendment be withdrawn, opting not to bring it to a vote unless certain of its passage.

Addendum:

Great work transgender NGO, a third of your trans equality champions are restricting transition. Lol.

 

Excerpts:

China’s biggest oil refiner said the country’s gasoline demand had peaked last year and declines would accelerate as the shift to electric vehicles gathers pace.

The institute reiterated a forecast from last year that China’s overall oil demand would top out at around 800 million tons a year no later than 2027.

Chinese diesel demand, which peaked in 2019 and then plateaued, would fall by more than 5% this year, Sinopec said. However, aviation fuel consumption would keep rising through 2040, it said.

 

Another super creative track from them. Not to be confused with the (easier to find!) 10th anniversary version which is also super cool but totally different. What do you think about the way it fades out and then completely changes vibes in the second half?

 

beautiful, beautiful shoegaze cri

 

yeonmi-park In America, self-censorship has become so ubiquitous that the ruling class does not even need to marshal state resources to suppress speech that opposes the ruling class's interests
