"... and it's closed again"

POV: You're the midwit

I'm fine with blocking Iron Dome funding like I'm fine with blocking Dresden air defence funding.

The purpose of Iron Dome is to protect Israel from consequences. It's to draw out the bloodshed.

HS2 blew billions - here's how and why How did HS2 manage to go so far over its original budget?

I know my principles are libertarian, but I'm increasingly getting authoritarian against obstructions to public infrastructure.

Just fucking eminent domain the property in the way of the high speed rail project with propert compensation. Get it out of the way and stop rising costs and delays.

"Farmland, village greens and city parks have nothing to do with nature. They are all manmade spaces just as surely as a building is."

It's an okay lager I suppose?

I'd drink a lot of others over it though.

So then the project drags, becomes increasingly expensive and helps prove the detractors right "Well golly gee! We told you it wouldn't be worth it, so let's just cancel the project!"

When if they just shut the fuck up, it would have been done a decade ago and we'd all be better off for it.

You know when they talk about "environmental review" in regards to a project (especially high speed rail), it's not actually about the environment, protecting wildlife, national beauty or historical woodlands, it's about empty fields and running up the cost to force cost hikes and time delays.

A green desert. A literal environmental dead zone that is doing nothing for humanity nor wildlife.

"Hmm yes, it would be a disaster to scar our beautiful wilderness with a solar farm"

The wilderness in question:

NOOO! My pristine wilderness!

"No we can't build that, it disrupts the pristine wilderness of our beautiful countryside!" - It's an empty field, what the fuck are you talking about?

We're not talking about an old-growth woodland, we're talking about an empty field that's already an environmental dead zone.

'Industrial scale' solar farms attacked by Norfolk's Green The county council's Green leader says solar panels should be locally owned and put on roofs.

The Greens have to do something about the scourge of NIMBYism in their ranks.

The idea of a Green party opposing a solar project in an empty field, one of the cleanest and effective sources of energy is insane to me. Modern solar is insane. We might even get free energy in the summer it's so good.

Something, something, glass houses...

This, but with drones and AI data centres.

It's been in the 30s for a while.

36 I believe is the aggregate of credible pollsters, removing the right wing Trafalgar slop.

Ah yes, the Chinese Robot look.

the tension with clavicular doing mainstream interviews is he genuinely sees himself as some sort of self health influencer philosopher but the average person generally looks at him like he’s an animal in a zoo to be studied

The box, the box!

We are trying to wrap up our big MrBeast video.

MrBeast, famously, starts with title and thumbnail.

Ironically these have been difficult for us because MrBeast at a surface level is uninteresting. He's blunt, obvious. How do you convince someone scrolling by that you have something new to say?

bro the anecdote about the failure to understand why chocolate bars have break lines in them had me staring at a wall internalizing the white noise of the sea to symbolize contemplating the vast emptiness of the abyss

which I guess is the exact feeling Dan had making this video, well done

Is Pope Leo XIV the right person to lead the Catholic Church? We asked four evangelicals at a megachurch outside of Nashville.

Ah. That explains a lot.

i bought an extremely complicated board game that i knew no one would play with me just because it includes gameplay-relevant representations of all my favorite obscure solar system objects

Uh oh...

Uh oh!

Looks like some insider trading going on!

i think when you create an ai generated image it should automatically include the prompt you use in the metadata. we have a right to know what they put in there to get this

"but they will leave!"

Ight, I'mma head out.

clavicular? sneako? are we living in a dick tracy comic??

A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating.

A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.

Here is an easy solution:

Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves.

Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled.

Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
