The proposed CDN High Speed Rail will cost every taxpayer $7,800 for every single ticket sold, during the lifetime of its operation

It's grotesque how American political culture turns absolutely everything (TV shows, hobbies, religion, other countries, etc.) into fodder for an endless Schmittian political trench war.
Canada is designated "left". Therefore, American conservatives must performatively hate everything about Canada while American liberals must performatively praise everything about it. Neither view Canada as a real place with real people, but just a political theme park. It's either the Disney Castle or the Haunted Mansion depending on their ideology.
Obviously, the reality of Canada doesn't reflect either of these cartoonish hyperreal images. However, this serves as the axiom for most political discourse on the country. It has gotten to the point that Canadians now view their own country through this distorted Americanized lens.

Nuclear energy can be a mass-production industry.
Normally, I don't speak ill of the dead but: rest in piss. Paul Ehrlich's work wasn't "premature," it was wrong, completely so, and evil: his recommendations resulted in many hundreds of thousands of coerced sterilizations and abortions among the world's most vulnerable people.
it hurts to see bands like bad omens and sleep token touring full arenas while bands like deafheaven and loathe and counterparts and dying wish and better lovers get so much less attention
Your wedding is not the fucking opening ceremony of the olympics, it's not fucking paris fashion week, it's not the met gala, it's a bunch of people getting together in a church or a garden or whatever and smiling and clapping and having some dinner and drinks. literally relax
Cannot wrap my head around people who have childless weddings. "no children please". You are a sick person. You are a twisted, disgusting fuck. Get your head out of your stupid sex & the city, corny AI cursive writing, over-themed wedding ass, and just enjoy some chaos and whimsy
formula 1 sucks man, we could have had 1700 horsepower V12s revving to 30,000 rpms, instead we get to watch a bunch of hormonal teenagers drive priuses around a desert
