The Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum of 2026 (SPIEF 2026) in Russia has started with a very fiery keynote speech by the Ukrainian surprise guests.
@IsaiahLCarter@criticalurban I'm not remotely a communist, I just like less expensive infrastructure that does more for us. It's shitty government laws that robbed us of walkable mixed use neighborhoods like our ancestors (from every inhabited continent) built for thousands of years.
@bibliographing@criticalurban This makes absolutely zero sense. I've encountered plent of people not paying attention waling, never had the slightest bit of difficulty. And what do you mean refusing to yield the right of way? Walkers haven't got right of way to yield to each other.
@criticalurban Is it closed for a block party? I've done those. They take hours to set up, they have to be closed before you start and you don't want anyone there until you're done. So empty is on plan.
@Benedicta_Bee You do realize that an actress is supposed to act too, right? Her IMDB is two parts where she was barely more than an extra and one where she had a couple lines. Nyong'o has been on plenty of magazine covers and has dozens of awards for acting well on other big budget projects.
@criticalurban China is awful big. Most of the flights in the US are just over the eastern ~40% of the country, which has many times the population of the UK. LGA>ORD, LAX>SFO, LAX>LAS, ATL>MCO all have 3 million passengers a year and would be faster by high speed rail once you check in.
@jarberwok@ICDEB@drawandstrike Why does it sound like that? Please quote me with one screenshot where I said it was bad or that I was angry about it? I am annoyed at the color change to the reflecting pool and angry about it being a no bid contract to his friend when there is clearly plenty of time for a bids.
@BraultMcMlarmn@drawandstrike If he didn't want to face so many impeachment charges he shouldn't have broken so many laws. He had plenty of time to golf. Maybe it was a matter of his priorities.
@ICDEB@drawandstrike That part is fine, you can take the position that it's good for the country to take care of these issues. The part that isn't is the recrimination of Biden for not doing what Trump hadn't done either. That's just hypocrisy.
@RationalMale They divorced 16 years ago, I don't think it's a slight to him for her to get married to a different man on a schedule they no doubt decided before he died.
@JDVance Trumps kids with no experience in drones joined the board of a drone manufacturer and all of the sudden that company got tens of millions in our tax dollars.
