IMPORTANT STUDY: “On average, the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in European cities demonstrated a 23%, 37% & 38% reduction in road crashes, fatalities & injuries respectively. Lower speed limits also yielded environmental benefits.”

So it's not weird at all to hear two of the biggest movie stars in the world discussing a concept I came up ages ago as a fan with a message board.

Life is weird but cool.

But not as cool as @VancityReynolds and @RealHughJackman.

On a less sarcastic note, I agree with the anti-doomerists who are going around telling people to snap out of it. We have to decide what we believe in--not what we tell ourselves we believe in, but what we are willing to act upon.

Tired of the casual abelism in "Joe Biden has dementia." Are you a physician? Are you even a mental health professional? You have NO expertise. Plus, dementia is real and devastating, not the butt of a shitty joke that's already been made. Shut your damn mouth and fix your heart.

The term perfidious Albion is first recorded in documents from the 13th century. It's a far stronger factor in our international reputation than the fairy tales we like to tell ourselves. But those who have managed to achieve a state of denial are desperate to protect it.
