Clueless US media understand Trump's shut down of Atlantic coast wind farms as just some vague national security thing about radar or as Trump's weird ideas about alternative energy. But in Denmark, this is immediately understood for what it is: a shakedown against two large Danish companies,

Horrible headline aside, Vance not taking sides as the GOP consumes itself is fascinating to watch. You've got racism & bigotry going every direction from every direction. That's not sustainable. Assuming he really is Trump's heir, that is incredibly stupid politics.
This is NYT headline morning after JD’s grotesque hot blast of white supremacist nativism at Turning Point’s hate-fest?!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

I guess to me, it simply isn't cool unless it's real. Not for moral reasons but because its coolness hinges on the unlikeliness of it and the way it lets me contemplate a real bird's inner state that enabled this to happen.
Fiction is cool too! But I judge it by a different set of standards.

Visited the UK for the first time with my wife this past week and finally got to visit Anfield for the #LFC match against Madrid. What an insane experience - the crowd never stops singing, they pay attention to every second of play. It went above and beyond what I was hoping it to be. #YNWA

So how about this: instead of the entire establishment trying to browbeat "woke" college kids into shutting up about racism & sexism, why don't they browbeat the older, wealthier, more powerful NIMBYs in their midst to shut the fuck up about "neighborhood character"?

Are there protests yet at the single, small road link from the Coast Guard island to the rest of the Bay?
This almost seems like inviting a long-term protest there.
