And:
“'I had a big argument with a lot of people on the left in America, who wouldn’t vote for Kamala Harris in 2024,' he says. 'The idea that if you’re a Democrat, you can swan around as though you’re in some utopia, and are [entitled to the ideal candidate], is madness. Even if you disagree with some of the things they care about, you’ve still gotta vote for them.'”
You privatize everything and thanks to corruption and monopoly, everything sucks. But in Serbia, you have government owned companies and thanks to corruption and monopoly, everything sucks as well. Govt. owned Telekom bought almost all TV and net providers, it's nuts. Now if you want internet or TV, you have 3 companies, that's it. No real competition, offers or service, it all sucks. They will bleed us dry.

So, two things I really value are free trade and open immigration. On reflection, weirdly, it's somewhat easier to make the open borders case to people, even though it's less popular overall. Why? Because to make a case for free trade, you have to argue the period from the mid 70s to Trump, where trade was getting more and more free, was broadly a good time. But that's not people's intuition, and in my experience, people don't usually accept macro stats.
(possibly this is specific to my bubble)

The UK Right-Wing parties are going hard today on how the UK is a Christian country. The thing is we're actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. 30% were brought up in a faith but haven't though about it since they were 10. 20% know what to do in a place of worship, but only ever go for weddings and funerals. Which leaves 10% who are just getting old.
It's not that we're Atheist. We're A-Religious. We're simply not interested and don't care.
I just sent the following to my congressional Representative (Matsui) via Resistbot, formatted as a petition.
To sign this petition, text SIGN PADWIJ to 50409 (or write your own letter to your Rep with Resistbot. It’s free in most circumstances)
“IMPEACH TRUMP IMMEDIATELY
I appreciate the work you have done in the past for our District, but unless you stand up and file for immediate Impeachment of President Trump, I will work for your opponent. This is an illegal war, a corrupt, inept, and amoral administration, and YOU have the power to begin the process. Trump is not fit in any conceivable way for the office he holds. You and all other MOCs must ACT NOW.”
Agroforestry
"Combining trees with crops or livestock is more productive, better for wildlife and healthier for the planet, but only 3% of the UK’s farmland currently practices agroforestry."

What Is Agroforestry? Agroforestry describes farming systems that combine trees and shrubs with agricultural crops or livestock. Agroforestry can be designed in a way that avoids potential trade-offs between food production and other public goods that occur in many modern farming systems.
Time we started charging extortionate rent for these Imperial outposts......
