Look, people are hating on this but if your family has women in it and you don't want to see them but still want pictures for your credenza so the people you're suckering on a 100 month 14.5% APR car loan think you're a family man there's nothing better than an AI Christmas memory.

One thing I'm very grateful for is how clear-eyed the Federal government has been about how badly deteriorated American "leadership" has become.
Got my gripes with the Libs but I think this would be much muddier with the Cons at the helm in very dangerous ways.

China's High Speed Rail network has now surpassed 50,000 KM in length after opening 4 new lines. The country plans to hit 60,000 KM by 2030.
Spain is the #2 country in HSR length, with approx 5,000 KM.
Map below is a year out of date but shows how the network has evolved since 2008.

Worth remembering that both Russia *and the United States* signed the Budapest Memo guaranteeing Ukrainian security. Both countries are in violation of their commitments.
I am grateful to Ukrainian defenders for stopping the russian aggressors and doing the job NATO was supposed to do.
I condemn Western political leaders for their stupidity and cowardice – and failure to do their duty – over more than a decade of russia's war.

Now? A grudging apology doesn't excuse her behavior. But ex-MAGA like this will be important.
Our best strategy is to allow them back. They influence others.
