( looks at harried, sleep-deprived parent wrangling four squawling children into a minivan) “This person fucks.”
- Comment on Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power 5 days ago:
That makes sense. Once nuclear is built, using it is a no-brainer: you’ve already paid for it, so saying no to energy produced at the costs of a few truckloads of fuel a year is purity politics at its most asinine. Building new nuclear plants, with their high capital costs and long lead times, is another question altogether.

He sounds like a useful idiot
- Comment on The Wuppertal Schwebebahn Is Real And It Is My Friend 1 week ago:
“Here I will confess that I was anticipating the Schwebebahn to be a novelty, more of a gimmick than a real transit route, like Los Angeles’s Angels Flight funicular or San Francisco’s cable cars… I was immediately proven incorrect”
Tell me you’re American without saying you’re American.

Soon after this, you start seeing more ads for alcohol, gambling sites and religious cults, as the algorithm flags you as a potentially lucrative prospect.

Any dude with hair plugs or a loud, powerful car would confirm that it is.
- Comment on The government is keeping a list of people who question their policies 2 weeks ago:
If the ORG is designated a terrorist group like Palestine Action, how much of a grace period will existing members have before they get disappeared to Azkaban-in-the-Falklands or wherever all those designated terrorists will need to be contained? Is not renewing your membership enough, does one have to renounce it within 24 hours of the designation, or will the ruling be retroactive, condemning anyone who was a member years ago even if they let it lapse?

- Comment on Goes right over some people's heads, I tell ya 2 weeks ago:
I imagine that, if you’re a 10-year-old boy, fascism can look pretty awesome. Lots of action, badass uniforms and weapons, skulls and stuff, and no icky girls bringing their cooties into your top-sekrit treehouse.

The final boss in “what’s trashy if you’re poor but classy if you’re rich?”
- Comment on Anon's class fails expectations 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that actually running such an experiment properly and bringing home the conclusion of the horrors of fascism would be grossly unethical and impossible to do. (Some university psychology/sociology courses did similar things in the 1960s, though experimental ethics rules back then were flimsy.)
- Comment on Other (non-American?) superhero movie franchises besides Marvel and DC? 2 weeks ago:
Superheroes are an inherently American concept, and this comes through when authors from other countries do them.
Case in point: Britain. They had a few superhero cartoons like Bananaman and Supergran, but they were inherently parodic, stretching the bombast inherent in the concept to breaking point and deriving humour from the juxtaposition between that and the small, shabby details of everyday life in the UK. Though one could argue that the actual British equivalents of American costumed crimefighters would be James Bond and/or Doctor Who, though these don’t fall neatly into the category.

- Comment on Paul Keating says Aukus locking Australia into a US war against China, which it would ‘certainly lose’ 3 weeks ago:
Keating is somewhat dewy-eyed about the CCP. If he had his way, the AFP would be arresting and extraditing Hong Kong democracy activists to order and Xi Jinping Thought would be a compulsory subject in high schools.

AI slop. (The asymmetrical shapes of the adapters, and cables inexplicably appearing/changing colour, give it away.)

- Comment on We're thinking Urethra or Diphteria if it's a girl 4 weeks ago:
Ham is actually a veritable biblical name (as in Ham, Shem and Japhet), and was more common in puritanical times. A chimpanzee sent into space by NASA was named Ham, probably after the scriptural figure rather than importentiously the meat.
