  1. Anime and japanese films drip with sentimentality and nostalgia. This is spot on.
  2. https://www.politico.eu/article/coronavirus-berlin-protest/?fbclid=IwAR18VRVmn92rwQLxxCRgfWj2sMw1yr3P1hj6Y1ATIwZ_ZLObJ1obrgNynek Even the Germans!
  3. Nice looking boat though.
  4. People going to peaceful parks to do badly performed exercise while blasting shit dance music Grinds my gears
  5. Above article references this dude: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-york-times-stunningly-false-deceptive-hit-piece-preserve-lomborg
  6. Exactly. Who is saying that though? Tech to remove C02 doesn't exist so it has to be govts - energy companies. Perhaps more devastating drops in gdp as we have seen in the u.s will have a silver lining despite inflicting other devastating harm.
  7. Doesn't Covid show that global action can be mobilized if there is enough of an immediate / felt threat? i.e. climate change impacts could be addressed overnight if there was the elusive political will? Whether models ultimately work or not - chances are that shit is going to get ugly and so we should prepare asap. Shouldn't we follow the worst case models as a better safe than sorry policy even if it's speculation? I think when people refer to MNCs and climate change they are generally referring to energy / fossil fuel companies. I really can't see the market fixing this issue - got to be government and global org effort. Just doesn't sit right listening to hair brained schemes of burying carbon, solar shades etc.
  8. Jesus. Wanna see Trump responding to this.
  9. Absolutely mental. Will go to supreme court and get rejected if he pushes it.
  10. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-29/almost-30-million-in-u-s-didn-t-have-enough-to-eat-last-week
  11. I'll take those contributions. What will he do with foreign policy? More war? Obviously against medicare for all which I consider an inevitability at some point. How will he deal with inequalities and structural racism plus the cops? Will he continue the terrible immigration policies of Obama and Trump? Shame he destroyed any posirive legacy of metoo with his blanket dismissal of all his accusers setting yet more precedent for people like Trump and Kavanaugh. His voting history is terrible. His previous views on social security, the Clarence Thomas disaster...crime, welfare reform, glass-steagall, affirmative action, abortion, collective bargaining rights etc I think you're too easy on him Caze.
  12. This is great https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/28/trump-president-diplomats-ambassadors seriously though other than wanting trump the fuck out why would we be enthusiastic about Biden?
  13. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/meet-the-american-wolf-self-appointed-peacekeeper-of-the-pacific-northwest/2020/07/28/62892ff1-b64b-48dc-99df-d84b6693f4cb_video.html
  14. Thought this was nice sum up: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/26/trump-us-president-white-supremacy

  16. Very difficult to be enthusiastic about an incoherent senile old man tied up completely with decades old dem establishment - the policies of which can be arguably blamed for the rise of another obviously far worse incoherent senile old man.
  17. I dont argue with their experience, just their hyper conventional blob stance is quite predictable. The deep state radio one and real clear politics also quite similar. As far as this genre of politics IR pod goes cfr and csis ones are my favourite.
  18. Man these guys are soooo beltway uppity wasp. Less tight ass than Lawfare but nearly there - occasionally informative nonetheless.
