It takes 40 years to build fucking trains or do universal healthcare programs here and the rest of the world looks at us (correctly) like a child with a knife.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

This is the Bridge of Tears in County Donegal This small bridge provides a harsh and tragic counterpoint to the grandeur of the nearby Glenveagh Castle. It was here where many took their farewells from their families before crossing the bridge as a first step towards emigration.

Gather, my friends, and you shall learn the esoteric history of fridge magnets, and how they function as tacky little references for human memory:

Fridge magnets are more than tacky souvenirs. They're vessels for our memories.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

It's a beautiful spring day so I decided to go for my first run of the year. I made it a half-mile. Everything hurts but nothing I can pinpoint. I injured my soul I think?

For my ninth birthday, my parents got me a BMX bike and also took my three siblings and me to Disney World. It must have been a good year financially for my parents or maybe it was the year they got their first credit card.

"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc. Which implies that to chortLE is to repeatedly do something called a chort.

I would love to live in a society where saying (and pursuing) things like this destroyed your company, got you fired made you an unemployable pariah, instead of this society, which will reward this with more money and government grants to make it happen.

Already a land of boundless wealth, [America] can at one stroke treble its wealth, treble the productivity of its social labour, and thereby guarantee to all working-class families a decent standard of living worthy of intelligent human beings, and a not excessively long working day of six hours.
