I was in SF this past week and took Caltrain down to Redwood City and back. I rode one of the express Baby Bullets, which is as fast as the diesel-electrics go. (The electric trains were sitting there at 4th and King, mocking me.) Let me tell you, I do not know how they think they can run HSR on this track in the state that it's in. This is far and away the bumpiest ride I've ever had on Caltrain, and I used to commute on it twice a day for two years. I'm actually concerned about the state of the track. It's great that they've run the wire, but I anticipate strict speed limits if they ever get the high speed rolling stock up from LA.

If traffic gets bad enough people will make different decisions.

lol and his soft stance on Brexit was part of why pundits said Corbyn lost. Talking out both sides of their mouths. Party full of fuckin' snakes.

For context: In the US, CBP can search your phone without a warrant if you live within 100 miles of a border or coast (2/3rds of the population).

The average American commutes 20.5 miles each way to work 🙃

What do Japanese homophobes even thump as the basis of their hate, if they're not christian? Is there some foundational Buddhist or Shinto text I don't know about that says gay sex is gross?

You're super letting the CIA off the hook here. Operation Gladio killed a generation of leftists and leftist resistance in Italy.

They'll do the Japanese thing and allow slightly more Filipino nurses to immigrate to take care of all their geriatrics and nothing else.

Japan and South Korea are gonna ride their xenophobia until the wheels fall off.

It's gotta be this one if they've got any sense.

You think the US isn't funding Ukraine to advance its own imperial interests?

You truly think we're just doing it because we just love "democracy" so much, or something like that?

Buddy, an imperial power is winning either way.
