Let’s not overuse weird, a ton of what he does is super weird but this isn’t really; it’s just racist which is pretty in character for him and his base

This really brings up how fucking mind bogglingly short our attention span and memory seems to be. Donald trump murdered my grandfather, he murdered some of my favorite musicians and artists, he murdered one in 300 Americans, and most of us just fucking moved on and forgot I guess

Sorry that an already painful time was made worse

I mean it explicitly says it’s not Gen Z’s fault they don’t have the requisite training. They want to learn more than the rest of the population, there just aren’t good opportunities to learn the relatively niche skills.

I totally agree the article should have been written way better, and I question why it focuses on just gen z when a lack of sustainable talent seems like a multigenerational problem, but improving training being most critical for gen Z as they will be taking over more and more of the workforce in the oncoming years (critically during the window of opportunity to reverse more of the effects of climate change) makes sense to me

What?? The whole reason for this is because the US is too focused on their issues at home and have abdicated their self imposed role as defenders of democracy in Europe. That Poland feels they need to build up their own military to absolutely insane levels and forge deeper defense alliances within Europe is not at all kowtowing to either Putin or America, it’s finally building up the sovereign resources that they and the rest of Europe should have been working on for decades to void the need to bend over and spread it for their preferred superpower.

Let’s go Denmark, hopefully you can convince more of Europe that freedom, democracy, and the right to self determination are worth fighting and making sacrifices for

A friend who worked at Tesla for a little while swore Elon was told by the engineering team that the window would break if he tried that and he just didn’t believe them. Not sure if it’s true, but if it is that’s honestly worse than poor testing imo

What an impressively bad take, I’m almost impressed. The UN is bad for not stopping the war and is warmongering by supplying weapons to Ukraine, but of course we shouldn’t criticize Russia for… oh I don’t know… starting the fucking war or continuing it for over a year for no defensible reason?
