I suspect the reason is that plainclothes and undercover cops are fine but they can't shoot fleeing criminals.

Does America just have really expensive road safety infrastructure?

Why does the US have such a high value of a life compared to Australia (A$21m vs A$5.7m) despite only having a 1.4x higher NGDP? This doesn't translate to road safety, the US has 1.4x the per-km death rate

People are reading it as him saying that India looks bigger because it appears to take up the entire subcontinent and arguing for revanchism towards Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.

(This does unfortunately mean that an English or Pākehā immigrant would be nonwhite-equivalent while someone who is Indigenous or descended from gold rush Chinese immigrants would be white-equivalent)

I'm using immigration of parents because the Australian census doesn't have a race box. (The ancestry box would require me to classify every ethnic group, including ones like "American" and "Australian", as white or nonwhite)

Most of the top left on the first graph (swing to cons, both parents OS > 55%) is in Sydney, probably south of the Red Rooster line.

If you restrict it to Lib vs ALP (ie the parts of big cities outside of QLD that aren't rich or woke) you still get ~no trend.

Australia isn't racially depolarising like the other Anglo countries.
Tweet from David Shor: Non-white voters are rapidly trending toward right wing parties in Canada, the UK, and potentially other countries as well as the US. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/07/04/what-if-trumps-gains-with-minorities-werent-about-trump-all/ (Some graphs showing a correlation between white % and con swing in London, Toronto and NYC)

is Laura Jane Grace a flat-earther?
in The Ocean she sings about "there is an ocean in my soul where the waters do not curve"... ocean water not curving is usually considered a key piece of evidence by flat-earthers... if the waters don't curve then the earth has to be flat...

has she ever explained this lyric in any other way? seems to be pretty straightforwardly flat-earther to me. which, just for the record, I think would be pretty cool. I'm not personally committed to flat earth theory but I like hearing both sides of the debate.

I'm honestly surprised there's not more transgender flat-earthers, you'd think once you question your assigned gender you'd be more willing to question all the other bullshit that society tries to make you believe... but that's just my opinion 🏳️‍⚧️

That would make ETN, not PETN. PETN is the one with the very low vapor pressure (7*10^-4 mPa), ETN has a reasonable vapor pressure (~1 mPa), making it easier to detect.

There's a significant element among Australian progressives and center-leftists that support China for economic or ideological reasons (e.g. Paul Keating) but there isn't an M shape because the far-right is too racist.
