Okay, I wrote about how both VP candidates last night showed they didn't actually understand how the First Amendment works, and why that's a problem. www.techdirt.com/2024/10/02/o...

The ghoulish suggestions people move to 'climate havens' remind me of similar proposals during the nuclear age to build belt cities to 'mitigate bomb damage'; essentially abandoning millions to die, a maladaption instead of tackling the man-made problem. #climatechange

Tokaido Shinkansen marks 60th anniversary

The Tokaido Shinkansen marked its 60th anniversary on Tuesday, with a commemorative ceremony at Tokyo Station held by Central Japan Railway (JR Tokai) to send off the first train of the day.

Nine officials, including JR Tokai President Shunsuke Niwa and Stationmaster Katsuyuki Wachi, were in attendance, as crowds of train enthusiasts watched the 6 a.m. departure of the Nozomi No. 1 bound for Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Speaking at the ceremony, Niwa expressed his vision for the bullet train.

“As we look to the future, we aim to make the Tokaido Shinkansen even more beloved by everyone,” he said.

When Wachi raised his right hand to signal the departure, the Nozomi No. 1 gave a resounding horn blast as it set off.

We're still talking about the possibility of setting up another committee to again study the feasibility of Melbourne to Sydney fast rail. As politicians have done many times over the last 60 years.

@QuokkaMocha @HeliaXyana @SJHoodlet This is a great review indeed. So well said what I feel too. And no wonder the cat agrees as well.

1.5 million Ukrainian children at risk of being deported to Russia, ombudsman says byteseu.com/463750/ #Ukraine #Україна


Hey, how about we do something stupid?
I want to design the absolute worst #ttrpg possible.

I'll provide the first line or maybe just one of many, not sure how the order is gonna work out yet and then you provide the rest.

Not sure if the order actually matters this will probably just remain a stupid thing I did on online once.

Who Will Care for Americans Left Behind by #Climate Migration?

#HurricaneHelene was the latest in a generation of storms that are intensifying faster and dumping more rain as the climate warms. It's precisely the kind of event expected to drive more Americans to relocate as climate change gets worse — leaving behind those who are older, poorer and more vulnerable.

and then please extend this question to "Who Will Care for THE REST OF THE PLANET'S POPULATION Left Behind"?! if this is happening to folks who happen to live in the RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, extend the analysis to all those even less able to adapt.

and this is why fighting immigration is so stupid, it's those young immigrants who will revitalize these towns.
