Russian propaganda film to dissuade people from abandoning Russia for USA. Portrays USA as gay-loving PC hell where whites literally have to bow down to swaggering black people so they can have all the good stuff. iow sort of a Fox News vignette https://t.co/qCZRbKnW3k

Threads

• Thread discussing a recent NYT article about the problems with the California High Speed Rail project. TL;DR: It's always been a goal of the Governor's office, not the legislature, to complete the project, and the NYT author seems to have an axe to grind about unrelated issues.

One true part of the story is that the French company Caltrans was working with decided to pull out and instead build something in North Africa, which opened in 2018.

• Short summary of Economist article about the expected cost of the green energy transition. TL;DR: We have proven policy levers available to us, and much of it is happening anyway.
