RIP kbin

She has openly aspired to be like Margaret Thatcher, the first woman to become British prime minister – known as the “Iron Lady,” a nickname that has since been used for Takaichi herself.

She burninated all the people

That being said, if you go back 100 years, Japan has only had 7 or so prime ministers that lasted 3 or more years. Most last 1-2 years or less. I’m not sure how much she can change, but its worth watching what new coalitions form with the LDP and also the rise of Sanseito (MAGA inspired Japanese-First party) in future elections.

Cynical view: neoliberals are in bed with republicans, gotta follow the money and lobbyists.

A kinder take: The dems definitely have a messaging problem.

Bernie and AOC will tell it to you straight.

Business climate would be better under Vance, at least he won’t throw tariff tantrums and we know what to expect. Companies might actually start hiring again. Trump is so volatile that companies are hesitant to do anything right now, its just low hire, low fire wait it out for the next 3 years.

Edit: I would be surprised if Trump gets removed under the 25th amendment or impeached. The rules state the VP and majority of the cabinet would need to declare him unfit, then President could challenge, then you need a super-majority of two-thirds votes in both houses for it to stand. Very unlikely sequence of events. Unless something drastically changes in the midterm elections, I think its more likely for Trump to stay on as a puppet if he really has dementia or mental decline.

They’re at a turning point, and coal is on a downward trend as a % of their total energy usage, even if energy produced by coal increased.

Yes Fap November, let’s goooo

After living in D for half my life, the lack of decent Mexican food makes me a G person too.

I’ll argue that C has a pretty solid showing. Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, the rest of the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Northern China, Central Asia, Mongolia, Northern Japan. There’s a lot going on there.

Based on the 2024 H1B numbers, that translates to roughly 35,000 NEW H1B applications for 2025 Q4 that will be affected.

Over the next year the expected impact is 85,000 jobs (the cap of 65,000 plus 20K advanced degree holders) and $8.5B in salaries to US workers, assuming that no company is willing to pay the fee, that no role is outsourced, and that the job vacancy is actually filled by a US worker.

I’m not sure what renewals look like if they are also affected by the $100K fee or included in the 85K cap.

Just put a car battery in the wagon, all set.

I’m not sure if its common, but definitely sensible.

Shoes by the bed for broken glass Helmet to protect from falling furniture Loud emergency whistle in your day bag and at another home. Respirator so you don’t breathe in volcanic glass if there’s an eruption.

I’ve seen some people recommend a prybar like this and a battery-powered cutting tool in case you need to free yourself from inside the building. Door and window frames could shift and might get stuck, even if the building is still standing.

What’s it like being married to a nevernude?

Living in the Ring of Fire my whole life, keep the shoes, helmet, and emergency bag by the bed too so you can run quickly in case of earthquake/tsunami/ edit: volcanic eruption

How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary

There’s some great documentaries about stenophylla, resdiscovering a forgotten strain of coffee that’s resistant to heat.

Coffee and climate change: rediscovering stenophylla

In the video Dr Aaron Davis describes coffee as the “canary in the coalmine, as the litmus for climate change, particularly for woody crops like coffee, cocoa, tea, wine. Crops that have to stay in the ground a long time. And what we’re seeing is that the issues facing coffee also affect many other woody perennial crops”

We’ll probably see some issues with stonefruit too:

A couple of years ago, no stone fruits grew in New England. Peach, nectarine, plum, and apricot trees in the region had been fooled into flowering in February because of record warm weather. When winter resumed for another few weeks, the buds died, ruining the harvest.
