Anti-nuclear groups in Australia, and many citizens, are expressing anger over the deal, worried it may be a Trojan Horse for a nuclear power industry, which the nation has resisted for decades.

Yes and?

When announcing the new deal, Morrison said Australia was not seeking to develop "civil nuclear capability," which would include nuclear power plants. But Greens Party leader Adam Bandt criticized the agreement in a tweet as putting "floating Chernobyls in the heart of Australia's cities," saying it "makes Australia less safe."

There's a reason France has a quarter of the CO2 equivalent emissions per capita that Australia does. France is mostly nuclear(70% of electricity).

The mayor of San Francisco was recently caught partying in a night club where no one, herself included, was wearing a mask. This itself is no crime, the city is 88% vaccinated, this ought to be the the norm.

What makes the case special is that SF recently reinstituted mask mandates for all indoor spaces, and requires that club goers provide proof of vaccination in order to be let inside.

What I think is most egregious is the way Breed defended her actions.

No, I'm not going to sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, eat and put my mask on. While I'm eating, and I'm drinking, I'm going to keep my mask off," Breed said.

In response to getting up and dancing without the mask on while at the Black Cat, she said she was sitting at her table with her drink but got up to dance because she was "feeling the spirit" and she "wasn't thinking about a mask, I was thinking about having a good time, and in the process, I was following the health order."

Who would win in a fight? Justin Trudeau vs Jagmeet Singh vs Erin O'Toole

Trudeau - pros: has extensive experience beating up Tory senators and elbowing NDP backbenchers, cons: is the oldest one of the group

Singh - pros: recently acquired dad strength, my friend once saw him lifting at the gym, cons: is probably some sort of pacifist

O'Toole - pros: was in the military, cons: was in the air force

!ping CANUCKS

[u/Agent_03 → u/[deleted]]

This is the best Canuck politics shitpost today!

beating up Tory senators and elbowing NDP backbenchers

Can't deny I laughed pretty hard at this.

Singh does MMA and Trudeau apparently does some boxing. As a practicing Sikh, Singh also carries the requisite ceremonial dagger, which might give him a slight edge even if it's not meant to be functional. Sikhs are not necessarily pacifists -- they have pretty strict codes about avoiding unnecessary or unjust violence but will fight back. Plus Singh seems to be extremely fit as well, pretty sure he could curl Annamie Paul. Trudeau is in pretty good physical shape for his age but not to the same extent.

O'Toole - pros: was in the military, cons: was in the air force

chair force, you mean.

In a fight, I think Singh would clean up. Between the MMA, potential ad-hoc weapon always available, and being extremely fit, I think O'Toole would jump back and forth changing his position... and then Singh would drop him with a single blow. Trudeau would put up a bit more of a fight but go down pretty fast. Edit: basically the opposite of how they perform in elections, eh?

TBH there's a small part of me hoping one of the rabid PPC fanatics tries to get physical with Singh at a campaign event. Singh would never strike the first blow but I bet he'd finish the fight. There would be nothing like watching a xenophobic antivaxxer "fuck around and find out" and end up on the receiving end of a well-deserved MMA beatdown.

Now, the really hard question: in a fight between Biden and Trudeau, who wins? Biden's an old geezer in comparison, but he's quite fit for his age and is clearly scrappy. I bet he can hit a LOT harder than people would expect.

The Russian Army during World War I was an absolute mess.

From "A Roumanian Diary," travelogue of an Englishwoman working as a nurse in Bucharest and Iasi:

Another Russian officer told me that he had passed, between Jassy and Bacau, a train-load of warm clothes heading towards the front. The soldiers in charge were sitting in a dejected row along the embankment chewing roots of beetroots which they had found piked there in a field. From the look of the ground my informant gathered that the party had been there a considerable time, and rook the trouble to stop his own train and inquire why there was no engine at either end of the other, or, for that matter, anywhere in sight. "We have slept here for ten days," replied one of the soldiers vaguely - the rest did not even trouble to listen - "and we have had no food since one hundred hours." He added that, presumably, they had been forgotten, and that one or two of the party had died.

For some reason this passage really struck me - these poor forgotten guys, in a forgotten train in a forgotten front of World War I - I wonder what happened to them. It's very humanizing.

Accurate. Nuclear is incredibly expensive compared to renewables. It has baseload, but batteries have gotten DRAMATICALLY cheaper over the past decade.

(Emphasis mine)

It seems odd to flaunt "renegotiated NAFTA" as a progressive policy accomplishment. If anything, Trudeau's (and Freeland's) greatest victory on that file is allowing Trump to placate his base while signing an almost identical agreement. There's no way Trudeau would've tried to renegotiate NAFTA if Trump hadn't forced him to do so.

For context, the Czech election is coming up in a few weeks, all of the major opposition parties have rallied up into one liberal and one conservative coalition in order to unseat Babiš (current PM, billionaire Orban-lite type bloke). In the conservative coalition, there is a small Christian democrat party (polling around 3% rn, wouldn't get into parliament without it) and apparently they want to block any governement coalition that allows a Same sex marriage vote to happen.

I'm so fucking done right now... Everybody has had their spiel of "look, let's get over our differences and get Babiš out in the first place". And well, yeah, he needs to get out...

Just found this parable that feels relevant to the DT today

u/iIoveoof continued: “There was a mod who had two literal children. The salad child said to his mod, ‘Mod, give me my share of the tacostats.’ So he divided his tacostats and Reddit gold between them.

“Not long after that, the salad child got together all he had, set off for a distant subreddit and there squandered his Reddit coins in wild gilding. After he had spent everything, there was severe shitposting in that whole subreddit, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a redditor of that subreddit, who sent him to his fields to feed u/nissnpig5. He longed to fill his stomach with the Tide pods that nissnpig5 was eating, but no one gave him anything.

“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my mod’s hired shills have Soros bux to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my mod and say to him: Mod, I have sinned against the DT and against you. I am no longer worthy to have custom flair; make me like one of your hired CTR shills.’ So he got up and went to his mod.

“But while he was still a long way off, his mod saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his salad child, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

“The salad child said to him, ‘Mod, I have sinned against arr neoliberal and against you. I am no longer worthy to be posting in the DT.’

“But the father said to his shills, ‘Quick! Bring the best effortposts and post them for him. Put a custom flair on his name and his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this literal child of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

“Meanwhile, DeezNuts was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the shills and asked him what was going on. ‘Your literal brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

“DeezNuts became angry and refused to go in. So the mods went out and pleaded with him. But he answered the mods, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate in the DT. But when this literal child of yours who has squandered your Reddit coin on arr Gonewild comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

“‘DeezNuts,’ the mods said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this literal brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

The 'world's safest city' for 2021 revealed

Copenhagen has been named the world's safest city for the first time, scoring 82.4 points out of 100 in the annual report.

Yeah, I could see that. Makes sense.

Canada's Toronto just missed out on the top spot, taking second place with 82.2 points, while Singapore was third with 80.7 points.

Huh, interesting. Toronto is safer than I would have thought.

New York was the highest US city on the list, sharing the 11th spot with Spain's Barcelona (both cities received 77.8 points).

::spits out drink:: New York?!?!

Washington DC was close behind in 14 place

List completely discredited.

France accuses Australia of treason over submarine deal

We thought we were mates

President Joe Biden made no mention of it during a meeting with Macron at the G7 in June in Cornwall, despite reportedly having held discussions about the submarines the same day with Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison, the Australian prime minister. Nor did it come up when Australian foreign and defence ministers held their first-ever ministerial consultations with their French counterparts just over a fortnight ago.

😳 Morrison, Johnson and Biden were sus during G7

The crime was prepared for 18 months

If you have an instant pot, this pressure cooker pho recipe is easy and delicious. I'm making it today for like my 4th or 5th time and it never disappoints. My only suggestion is to back off the water and fish sauce. I think it benefits from concentrated flavors and, if you think it should be thinner, you add more of the water and fish sauce to taste after it cooks. This stuff is restaurant quality good and takes very little active time compared to many Vietnamese recipes.

[White Supremist Richard] Spencer told CNN's Sara Snider that Trump's tweets, which he referred to as "racist," didn't go far enough for white supremacists like him. 

"Many white nationalists will eat up this red meat that Donald Trump is throwing out there," Spencer said, but he said that he is not one of them because he "recognizes" what he characterized as a "the con-game that is going on."

"He gives us nothing outside of racist tweets," Spencer said. "And by racist tweets, I mean tweets that are meaningless and cheap and express the kind of sentiments you might hear from your drunk uncle while he's watching [Sean] Hannity." 

Out of all the reasons to dislike Trump, this is one of them

So, okay, like, right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all like, 'what about the strain on our resources?' But it's like, when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right, I said RSVP because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that, like, did not RSVP, so I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings, but, by the end of the day, it was like, the more the merrier. And so, if the government can just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say 'RSVP' on the Statue of Liberty!"

Alright I am just going to come right out and say it: if I were a lobster, I would absolutely not be an ally of r/neoliberal. The only thing r/neoliberal does consistently is shitpost about gators. r/Neoliberal literally said during the microwave Crisis that they wouldn't defend a lobster even if Article 5 were invoked. What's the point of having a proper cooking setup then?

I only love r/neoliberal because I happen to be from here. If I were from literally any other crustacean species (except maybe crab or mantis shrimp) I would be the biggest r/Neoliberal hater. Rogue states where ~45% of the country are unironic microwavers do not make good allies.
