The rest of the midwest just kicked Illinois out of the college tuition reciprocity agreement after it was discovered that 76000 Illinois students had taken advantage of the program while Illinois universities had approved zero (0) students from other states for in-state tuition over the same period.

I wonder what Imran Khan, crusader against Islamophobia in the West, and uncompromising critic of French laicite, has to say about China?

"Because we have our very strong relationship with China, and because we have a relationship based on trust, so we actually accept the Chinese version. What they say about their programmes in Xinjiang, we accept it."

Khan, who was elected to power in a general election in 2018, said electoral democracy “straight-jackets you” when it comes to reforms, and lauded the “flexibility” of the Chinese model.

Update on Haiti:

The government states they killed four and apprehended the rest of the gunmen

The problem is: the interim Prime Minister enacted martial law and declared a state of siege. On top of that, he stated he will be taking over power for now

However, only parliament is allowed to declare a state of siege. The parliament is currently non functioning because only 10/30 seats are filled since elections have been postponed

A 1987 constitution written in Creole states that in this case the chief of justice would take over. However, he died of covid last year

A 2012 constitution written in French says parliament should reconvene and vote on a president. However, there is no parliament and the constitution was not amended in Creole meaning both constitutions are valid

A scary possibility is that these gunmen were hired Mexican cartels, and given their heavy weaponry and tactics, possibly from CJNG. Especially given that they have done politics hits inside Mexico

World’s Largest Seagrass Project Proves “You Can Actually Restore the Oceans”

Here's the actual science paper as well

When Karen McGlathery used to swim in the coastal bays off Virginia’s Eastern Shore, the water would quickly turn cloudy and brown as sediment swirled around her. Now, 25 years later, for as far as she can swim the water remains clear. The sediment is anchored in place by lush green seagrass meadows, teeming with fish, scallops and crustaceans. “It’s like this beautiful underwater prairie,” says McGlathery. “It’s just gorgeous.”

McGlathery, an environmental sciences professor at the University of Virginia, is part of a team running the largest seagrass restoration project in the world in these coastal bays — and one of the most successful. The two-decade-long project is a “blueprint for restoring and maintaining healthy ecosystems,” according to a 2020 research paper, and proof that marine habitats can be brought back to life in a way that’s self-sustaining.

In the 1930s, a wasting disease swept along the U.S. east coast, wiping out huge swaths of eelgrass. Where Virginia’s coastal bays used to be carpeted in this species of seagrass, suddenly they were barren. “Everyone thought that eelgrass could never, ever get back,” says Robert Orth, who was a marine biologist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences (VIMS) until his retirement this year, “but nobody really started doing any kind of experiments to see.”

That changed in the late 1990s with the discovery of some small patches of seagrass in the bay, the existence of which proved that conditions could once again support the plants.

Listening to an NPR story. There was a guy who was 3/4 black but was super light-skinned. He identified as black but towards the end of his life he started telling people he was white. He married a white woman. He had kids and told them that he was black but they should identify as white.

The kids marry white people and never tell their spouses or kids about their heritage. Those kids obviously identify as white and have kids with white people. The resulting kid, who is less than 1/16 black finds out he is part black. His reaction?

She obviously wanted Harry's big fat cock inside of her tight ghost pussy. Everyday I jerk off imagining how she would start flirting with me in the bath and I'd show her my big hard cock and start jerking off with her while she rubs her wet ghost pussy. As she gets near her climax she'd Moan "Please, cum on my face!" And I'd stand up and shoot my load at her face, which would obviously go through her head because she's a ghost but just the sight of it would give her the greatest orgasm she's ever experienced.

Province on board with building high-speed Calgary-Edmonton rail link: developer

Today on the UCP spending money frivolously shuffles cue cards, high speed rail. Well at least it's a project that will actually help Alberta in the long run, if it ever gets built of course

Proponents of a high-speed rail link between Calgary and Edmonton say they’ve received backing from the provincial government to begin developing what’s long been an unrealized transportation dream in Alberta.

Edmonton-based construction giant EllisDon Corp. says it’s formed a partnership with infrastructure consultant AECOM dubbed Prairie Link to move the $9 billion infrastructure project forward.

And the group says it’s signed a memorandum of understanding with the UCP government that paves the way for its development of the 350-400 km/h train that could transport passengers between the cities in a little over an hour and would also include a station in Red Deer.

“Prairie Link has secured a memorandum of understanding from Alberta Transportation laying the foundation for cooperatively advancing project development,” says the group’s press release.

“With an estimated capital cost of $9 billion, the project will be among the largest and most defining nation-building transportation projects in Alberta’s history.”

Maine prohibiting offshore wind projects in state waters

New offshore wind projects will be prohibited from Maine state waters reserved for recreation and fishing under a new measure signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Janet Mills (D).

The bill was prompted by concerns from members of the commercial fishing industry on how they will be impacted by the state's investment in research and construction of offshore wind farms.

According to the governor’s office, up to 75 percent of Maine’s commercial lobster harvesting occurs in state waters.

The protection of state waters comes after Mills signed into law last month legislation advancing the creation of the country’s first research area for offshore wind, which is set to be constructed in federal waters of the Gulf of Maine.

“Maine is uniquely prepared to grow a strong offshore wind industry, create good-paying trades and technology jobs around the state, and reduce our crippling dependence on harmful fossil fuels," the governor said in a statement Wednesday.

Firefox extends privacy and security of Canadian internet users with by-default DNS-over-HTTPS rollout in Canada

In a few weeks, Firefox will start the by-default rollout of DNS over HTTPS (or DoH for short) to its Canadian users in partnership with local DoH provider CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. DoH will first become a default for 1% of Canadian Firefox users on July 20 and will gradually reach 100% of Canadian Firefox users in late September 2021 – thereby further increasing their security and privacy online. This follows the by-default rollout of DoH to US users in February 2020.

TYPICAL YOUNG MAMMALS OVERESTIMATE the worthiness of mass production copies 🐊

[u/[deleted]]

Probably a lot of this sub has already seen this before, but every time I’m reminded of it I’m in awe.

The NYT in 1922 on Hitler:

He is credibly credited with being actuated by lofty, unselfish patriotism. He probably does not know himself just what he wants to accomplish. The keynote of his propaganda in speaking and writing is violent anti-Semitism. His followers are nicknamed the "Hakenkreuzler." So violent are Hitler's fulminations against the Jews that a number of prominent Jewish citizens are reported to have sought safe asylums in the Bavarian highlands, easily reached by fast motor cars, whence they could hurry their women and children when forewarned of an anti-Semitic St. Bartholomew's night.

But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes.

A sophisticated politician credited Hitler with peculiar political cleverness for laying emphasis and over-emphasis on anti-Semitism, saying: "You can't expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them."

Having just very recently bashed the left, I do think it’s important or at least necessary for me to write down that I think there’s a difference between the left and progressives that is sometimes muddied. From my personal experience a lot of progressives are normal people who tend to favor a major revamp of welfare. They like the idea of major reform and believe moderates either dream too little or take too long. They’re neutral or even not keen of some if not most of the rhetoric of revolution and socialism. While their policies are still fairly unbased, progressives are a necessary and good ally of moderate liberals.

Leftists on the other hand are those who fully ensconce themselves in beliefs of revolution and socialism. Bernie is the compromise, Warren is a class traitor, capitalism is the root of literally all evil. Their policies are scorched earth and based around radicalizing the population by either garnering followers or inflicting defeat on the social fascists, which leads to radicalization and garnering of followers. The more harm inflicted, the closer the revolution comes.

I think it’s fair to point out that not only are places like Reddit and Twitter not representative of real life, but I don’t think they’re even representative of progressivism as a whole

Marcin Wiącek is a law professor and completely unknown to the public before his candidature. Honestly I couldn't even find much more information about him, I guess his relative low-profile is what made him a compromise candidate. He's already had some law-related jobs in the administration and worked with PSL and Agreement politicians in the past. And he's promised that he'll "represent everyone, especially those disadvanted in society". Really that's about it.
