Rundown stations, glitchy gates, increased “security”, 15-lifespan train cars that are stretched out for 50 years, OD checks that reinforce classicism, premium™️ and priority®️ passenger grades that slow down boarding, unenforced priority over freight rail, state-level administration that means changing carriers over state lines, understaffing, staff underpayment, shit-tier rail construction that is somehow 300% over-budget (private partner fraud), breakdowns at all times because they made the system “efficient” instead of robust, ADA compliance in the most tokenized form, shuts down every budget cycle because it’s somehow federally funded and is a strawman for “bloated” spending, no climate control requirements in stations, immediate rollbacks on coverage when destinations “underperform” (fail to grow indefinitely), stations placed in the most derelict areas that still evict established neighborhoods, “precision-operation” business models that deliver the least comfortable seats and seat arrangements you’ll ever encounter

I wonder how whenever the US gets a comprehensive rail network, if we ever get it, how will manage to make it fucking miserable to use

Benoit Blanc is such a deconstruction of the Impartial Detective and i love it. Most modern day fictional detectives care more about finding "the truth" than actually helping their clients. They are Cold and sometimes Callous cause they are just "too" smart to be tied down by such "ridiculous notions like "feelings".

Blanc isn't like that at all. He picks favorites. He allied himself with the suspected killer because he judged her as too good and kind to be a cold blooded murderer and he was right. He tells his clients/ possible victims to go fuck themselves the moment it's clear they are in the wrong because he doesn't like them as people. He helps the main characters get the truth.

But he also gets them justice. That clearly is what he cares about more.

"I don't normally focus on myself, on Marta. I try to focus on the whole picture, on the collective and what we have been doing together and our evolution. you know what's cool- when i started playing, I did not have an idol - a female idol. You guys (media) did not show any female games. How was I supposed to see other players? How could I understand that I could play for a national team and become a reference? Today when we come out on the street, people stop, parents stop and say 'my daughter loves you, she wants to be just like you'. And it's not just Marta, it is other athletes as well. Today, we have our references. This would not have happened if we had stopped at the first obstacles we faced. It is a continuous persistency. It did not start just with me but with a lot of other women back then but we are all very proud. We ask our generation to continue to do that and inspire more girls and more boys, no matter their age." - Marta on her legacy.

if you couldn't imagine fifa sinking to new lows, what in the world is this? there is a ceremony, but no nominees in attendance and everyone calling in via zoom??

anyway, at least it's a much better best XI this time around (except for horan who always scams her way on these lists😅) congrats to all our barça winners! 🥳 and i'm glad marta is the inaugural marta award winner!

someone get jill ellis away from aitana! 🥴
