EV sales slowdown is mostly a Tesla problem, according to sales data

Almost every other automaker is seeing double-digit EV sales growth.

@arstechnica Their latest model has a full recall against it, they have nothing in the pipeline and explicitly swore off any cheaper models.

Tesla, the entire company, is dying thanks to Musk personally. People need to stop giving him money.

'Could sink his presidential bid': Karl Rove begs Trump to stop whining about conviction

@br00t4c Rove made some harsh criticisms previously but I need to call this out again - anybody still associated with the GOP knows it's a fascist party and approves.

They only ever disagreed over which one of them gets to be the dictator but fundamentally they still agree on dictatorship.

Rove thinks the dictatorship would be better for him with a different tyrant on top but he's not going to give up on fascism just because Trump won the nomination.

@br00t4c Too bad - What they voted for is what they believe should be the law, no matter what they might pretend is their objection. That's what legislation means.

Representing your constituents means voting in agreement with their opinions on the matter. You're not representing the constituents who disagree with your vote.

@br00t4c Is this what they're doing with the refurbished trucks after the full recall?

@br00t4c I really hate it when terrible statements like this aren't really wrong.

Biden Says Americans ‘Must Not Forget’ Lessons of D-Day As Election Fight With Trump Looms https://www.mediaite.com/news/biden-says-americans-must-not-forget-lessons-of-d-day-as-election-fight-with-trump-looms/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@realTuckFrumper The primary lesson is "Don't fuck around with fascism" and most of us have already failed it.

The next most important thing to take away is the fascism shouldn't be tolerated. Even that is too much to allow. We're also failing this test.

The only lesson Americans can reliably be expected to take away from WWII is "We're always the heroes and everybody else is wrong and weak!"

Analysis

"Biden Claims Israel Isn't Starving Gazans. Rights Groups Say It Is Clear as Day"

"The fact that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza is not in contention.

The Israeli military is "deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food, & fuel, while willfully impeding humanitarian assistance, apparently razing agricultural areas, & depriving the civilian population of objects indispensable to their survival."

~Human Rights Watch

@DrALJONES If he's going to bother to comment, it could at least be true.

How much of our efforts go towards trying to prevent things from getting worse rather than trying to improve things?

@rasterweb "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" is a bit of a ride with strange emphasis on ditching everybody in your life as unwelcome baggage but, it did crystalize this idea of "positive choices" and "negative choices".

We do things like brush our teeth to avoid a negative outcome, that's a negative choice.

It gets complicated if you ask about coffee - do you like coffee or dislike caffeine withdrawal and which one is really your driving motivation?
