I've been meaning to rewatch this movie. It's been a long time. What movie is on your list? One you've seen but want to see again, or one you've never seen?

The CEO of Mercedes-Benz is speaking the obvious truth. BEVs are simply more expensive to build and therefore won't be competitive anytime soon. Everyone should have said this from day 1.

But instead of admitting this obvious fact, we have been gaslighted by BEV fanatics into believing otherwise. A solemn reminder that lies cannot be used to support a cause, even one you think is just.

"Taking their cues from the GOP, the mainstream press has devoted their front page coverage to “but her emails”-level scandals, like President Biden’s age and DA Fani Willis’s private life. What will this mean come November?"

DAME Magazine looks at how corporate media, like my boycott object of affection, the NYT, chase fake scandals and ignore Trump.

@Hey_Beth @damemagazine when @onthemedia asked the NYTimes this weekend why would they go with the same “but her emails!” stupid story, the spokesperson stuck to their guns saying that even the coverage of the Clinton story in 2016 was great journalism.

Carmakers say that the American public can't afford electric SUVs.
But won't sell smaller affordable EVs.

Still .

"Under the revised final regulation expected to be made public as soon as next month, the EPA will slow the pace of its proposed yearly requirements through 2030. The new pace is expected to result in accounting for less than 60% of total vehicles produced by 2030, the sources said."

@cvennevik That's a screenshot of a desktop browser I shared. Why do you keep saying, "but it works on mobile?"

It doesn't matter if it works on your mobile phone. It doesn't work on a desktop computer.

OK, I've had just about enough of (R-Gilead). Last week, he tanked the bipartisan border security and foreign aid bill at the direction of . He claimed that he wanted clean, independent bills for every issue. But now he's rejecting a clean foreign aid bill because it doesn't include border security! Am I taking crazy pills, or is this one of the biggest cases of in recent history?

"A bill backed by the speaker of the Florida House would also make wide ranging changes to state energy policies.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, voted against the bill because one portion would limit utility companies’ ability to sell electricity to people who charge electric vehicles at home, he said. Fine owns two electric cars."
