@jon-nyc said in Paul Graham on the origin of wokeness: One thing I liked is the way he said that a proper explanation of its origins would account for why it happened when it did and not a decade sooner or later.

Very nice pictures!!!

With all due respect to Prof Ferguson, experiencing the peak Trump phenomenon is wholly dependent upon where you happen to reside.

It will take months of resolute and patriotic determination to refreshen the air here as a result.

I use that site a few times each week. It's updated really quickly, too.

@Mik said in The future of the car market...not good...: Can they meet American safety standards? Will Americans be willing to drive econoboxes? This. RIght now, the answer is no. Seems like US people really like big vehicles.

Is that Trump’s tiny hand on the column? [image: 1736867310862-img_2384.png]
