    @[email protected] I’d just like to say thanks for all the great content. Realizing recently that you probably have a bigger positive impact on my Lemmy feed than any other single poster, and I’m always glad to see your posts. Place wouldn’t be the same without you, cheers!

        Japan was completing its high speed rail in 1964, a year before the civil rights act was passed. Not that Japan doesn’t have racism, indeed much of the east is only now starting to grapple with internal racial diversity more than historically, but it still always sticks out to me as a measure of priorities and how backassward the US is and what a drain on progress in other areas these reptiles are.

      They tried to avert that - smashed the camera of the local journalist that took this picture. The FBI recovered the film from the remains afterwards.
