Los Angeles is finally opening a subway line beneath Wilshire Boulevard. Here's why it took 65 years: www.latimes.com/california/s... via @jennyja.bsky.social

Why it took 65 years for L.A. to build its most important rail line

Nothing will have me tune out purported socialists' arguments faster than an appeal to "realism" in political debates. Truly unimaginative and lazy move.

They're isn't a war going on our anything, per bluesky

I'm sure the guy who just resigned from the administration is a bad man. I also don't think it matters. What matters is that he wants to stop this war - as should all of us. That's more than can be said for all the "good" people who did fuckall while the US committed a genocide.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Yeah I mean the *2024 exit polls* found 56% support path to legal status for most undocumented versus only 40% deportations. Entire commentariat has pretended not to know this for the last year or so

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social
