I've talked to an AfD supporter and they affectionately called the AfD the Nazi party. They just won about 20% of the vote in Germany. WTF is happening over there?

General reminder, SpaceX was supposed to land Starship on the moon this year in an uncrewed lunar demo.
Instead they sent a banana to the Indian ocean where the ship burned in flames. So far SpaceX burned $3 billion of government money to do this.
And we expect Musk to head the department of government efficiency?

It's amazing how quickly Trump's cabinet is being filled with Wall Street financiers, bankers, and the Libertairian tech elite. Bessent as a pick is particularly funny because a lot of Trump's supporters have conspiracy theories around Soros which of course Bessent is close to.

It's amazing how quickly MSM started writing pro-Trump articles. Bunch of cowards.

Not everything that is new is better.
The idea of illegal immigration is new. Prior to WWI, Passports were not a thing. For most of human history, people could travel and work freely across borders..
Closed borders are a recent experiment in human history. It's hard to argue because everyone alive can't imagine what a world like that loos like and it feels 'natural' that we have closed borders. It's not natural. I would argue makes a less free world.

Why am I not impressed with SpaceX catching their rocket with giant arms? Because they were supposed to fly to the moon this year according to their contract with NASA and that's clearly not going to happen. They are way behind.

We have lost 73% of wildlife between 1970 and 2020 according to the Living Planet Index. Mourning the loss of nature is also mourning the loss of ourselves.

Does anyone else feel like a helpless component in a global system. A system that has a rigid logic that we are powerless to change?
