The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.

This should go viral!

This video is savage and she's so right!

Can you even fathom what those innocent babies went through? The absolute terror and having that one person who should cherish you, HURT YOU?!

IT MAKES ME SICK that these pink shirt wearing Karens are crying..CRYING for the mother but say nothing about three innocent souls!

Mike Rowe: “We had $1.1T in outstanding student loans when you and I talked last. Now it’s $1.8T… Meanwhile, we’ve got 400K jobs in construction, twice that many in the defense industrial base. It’s bananas… Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... or an elected official, governors mostly. And they’re freaking out.”

“They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now.”

"The arithmetic is HORRIFYING.”

“[Ford CEO] Jim Farley told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120K a year. He can’t fill them.”

“They’re everywhere.”

Way too many people go to college out of obligation when trade school is sometimes a much better path for a lot of people.

This is the dumbest society to ever occupy the planet.
Is covid so far back in memory? Why the fuck did anyone think that “creating new viruses” with a predictive algorithm that has a history of fallibility was a good idea?

@TheRochaSays 1) Biological males shouldn’t be allowed to compete with biological women. There are too many advantages.

2) She’s also right about the media. She said that in a profile off the court, but they turn every presser into a referendum on her, even for other teams. It’s clickbait.

@YahooSports They don’t give techs when they tackle each other but call techs for talking. Make it make sense.

The REAL White crime rate must be incredibly small:

[Gareth Harney @OptimoPrincipi]

Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:

‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’

Oliver Bearman
Some of those corners which were balls to the wall before are not the case anymore.

Alex Albon
I think what I'm feeling so far this year is that there isn't really any high speed anymore. Because you're arriving so slowly, basically everything is a medium speed corner now.

Charles Leclerc
I honestly can’t stand qualifying, it’s a fking joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for fk’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight

Lando Norris
It hurts your soul seeing your speed dropping so much. 56 kph down the straight.

Fernando Alonso
Maybe 50% of the team members can drive in Suzuka now I think. High-speed corners now are the charging station for the car. So driver skill is not really needed anymore. You just need to back off the throttle or turn down the battery and you charge the thing.

Checo Pérez
I think we need bigger changes because it's a shame, you know, you, you come here and Suzuka is the best circuit in the world and it hasn't been that enjoyable, you know, because we are recharging a lot through sector one and stuff.

So I really hope that in the coming races we are able to figure out something better for qualifying, you know, because at the moment we are too energy dependent and hopefully we can, we can find some good changes.

[Zach Brown @the_zb_]

The race played out exactly as expected. And we really need a fast reaction from the FIA and FOM.

The drivers can’t race in these cars, it’s nothing more than position swaps through battery dumps that then get reversed back to how it was unless a driver does an aggressive barge into the other guy. They’re too energy starved for the drivers to do anything but listen to their battery management engineer on where to lift or brake earlier to try and scour a tad more energy to use the overtake button.

George struggled to get past a 7-8 tenths per lap slower Ferrari, and needed a pit stop sequence. In the best car with the best PU by a mile. That’s where we are at.

I don’t recall a single non-lap-1 true racing move overtake - swapping spots temporarily via battery until the battery also swaps you back is not an “overtake”, and it’s certainly not racing. I’ll have to scour some highlights.

Needless to say, it’s what we thought it would be.

@FakeRomanCoin @CGRTeams I’m an F1 fan, but Indy, WRC, and WEC are all better products than F1 right now.

[Chip Ganassi Racing ⚡️ @CGRTeams]

'super-clipping'
'downshifting on straights'
'battery management' 🥱

Yeah, we don't do that here. We race.

[PhineasPoe @PhineasPoe]

@YankeeOnTheGrid @CGRTeams I thought Indy’s problem with tracks was the France family not allowing them to race on any of their tracks because they don’t want them competing with NASCAR. Is that not the case?

[Stormy³ @StormyMv33]

The first laps between Leclerc and Russell were literally artificial. One was forced to recharge while the other deployed and it swapped every lap. That's why Mercedes double-stacked for clear air, so they could push and build a gap.

Crazy how some are enjoying this slop I don't get it

[PhineasPoe @PhineasPoe]

@TheFishCreates @the_zb_ Yeah, my wife and I have been discussing watching more WEC and Indy. WEC on HBO and Indy on Fox means the presentation is getting better for both. Fox in particular is really pushing Indy. F1 is in danger of going backwards with these regs.

[Zach Brown @the_zb_]

There are some real misunderstandings here about the grumbling surrounding the regulations.

I’ve seen several voices claiming that people upset about the regs are just “sour grapes” because it looks like Mercedes will dominate.

That’s a mistaken take.

People and drivers are aggrieved and extremely disappointed in the inherent NATURE of the regulations, and how the cars must be driven (not driven, as the case may be), and how heinously offensive it is to watch. That will not change no matter what the development trajectory looks like.

The product on track looks offensive. It’s awful. And it’s inherent to the nature of the regs - it’s not changing.

Harvesting for such electrification means a permanent and unchangeable sacrifice of driver differentiation in high speed. That is obvious at this point, the needs of the regulation mandate this. There’s no room to engineer around this, physics is physics.

And that is a damning, heinous thing to watch. It’s so anti-racing and so anti-F1 that it’s an exercise in cognitive dissonance watching an onboard.

I hope to goodness that we all refuse to try and condition ourselves to accept this as “normal” or just “something to get used to”.

It’s not about parity, it’s not about who is in front or behind. You may or may not believe me when I say that, but this product would be no better if Ferrari were 2 seconds ahead of everyone.

This is not F1.

And I hope there is a swift and decisive fix, and a colossal push toward regulatory overhaul by 2029 with turbo V8’s with mild hybrid assist (turbo lag mitigation) and sustainable fuels. That is the solution.

[PhineasPoe @PhineasPoe]

@panic1383 @FM1_3316 They slow down by 40-50kph on the second half of the straights so the system can recover energy. That’s not racing. These regs are horrible. And it’s not just him. A journalist today said pretty much every driver is unhappy. And fans are complaining. This is not what we want.
