Its crazy that #Tesla just laid off their entire SuperCharger team.

It is REALLY REALLY difficult to justify buying another vehicle that isnt a Tesla, solely because you're shooting yourself in the foot wrt charging. Tesla chargers are just miles better, more convenient and more numerous.

If that advantage is gone, I don't really see how Tesla is going to compete.

I still can't believe Metro has 20+ minute headways at the end of lakers games. Talk about completely failing one of the best uses of rail in LA

ArrLAMetro is coming to a boiling point over safety after the latest stabbing/murder.

Lots of anger over Metro's refusal to keep dangerous people off the trains and buses.

And lots of people saying there's nothing Metro can even do so we just got to accept it.

Pretty wild conversations happening.

How do other cities keep their metro systems safe?

This is a pretty cool video. TLDR:

• Trump is in favor of a 16 week abortion ban. 94% happen by 13 weeks.
• Kari Lake from AZ is in favor of a 24 week ban, less than 1% happen after 20 weeks and almost all are health related/exceptions.
• Republican voters are not happy with either of those numbers.

Women's healthcare will play a massive role in this election and it is vital we get out and vote. We cannot let these nutjobs control healthcare.

It'll be something amazing if every state ends up with an abortion protection ammendment.

Well after today's AZ Supreme Court decision, that's another $100 into #PredictIt on the AZ Senate election. Should be pretty easy money.

Happy Birthday NATO, to a long 75 years of peace and prosperity. And hopefully many many more.

How did China enforce the One Child Policy:

The policy was enforced at the provincial level through contraception, abortion, and fines that were imposed based on the income of the family and other factors.

If the family was not able to pay the fee, then their child would not be able to obtain a legal document that was required in order to marry, attend state-funded schools, or to receive health care

WTF this was brutal

Workers in rich countries like the U.S. only have high wages ($8/hr is high) because they exploit workers in poor countries through outsourcing where they pay them $0.50/hr.

vWorkers in rich countries aren't exploited, they're labor aristocrats.

@jenbanim Don't you just love when someone comes in and is JUST begging for us to link THE graph? I see you

Here's something I'm terrible at: Finding light switches in hotel rooms.

I'd say 50% of the time i just use my phone light and then go lay in bed in the dark

Does anyone know if you can actually do computer work while on #Amtrak trains? I think i've found a loophole for my long commutes. It'd be a little longer than driving, but if i can spend even half of it working on a #train then it would be much shorter day overall

The Fastest Charging EVs of 2023

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range RWD: 193 miles after 15 min, 263 after 30min, 288 after 45min

Jeez, I didn't realize EV's had gotten this good. And its "only" $45k.

The death of the ICE is inevitable if this pace of improvements keeps up.

This Airbnb is about 0.3 miles (or about .5km for our imperial challenged friends) from Interstate 5 and the traffic keeping me awake, even at 2am.

Car-Free Games: No parking at the venues. All spectators will need to arrive to the venues using public transportation

I'm so excited for the transformation LA is doing for the '28 Olympics.

I wish I could tell which bus drivers were driving which bus or at least their ratings.

Good bus drivers make your ride so much better and on time.

So I started my new job, and I get paid weekly. Get $1,000 in taxes taken out every week.

Maybe the Republicans were right about California. I don't think I'm mentally prepared for paying 50k+ in taxes.

I would really encourage everyone to watch this 60 minutes interview with one of the Wisconsin Trump Fake electors.

The danger of #Trump being elected again is certainly not getting the attention it needs.

Since our giga-janny posted her #climatechange rant...

One that that pisses me off about climate change discussion here in the US, is that a large amount of Americans that DO believe its real and dangerous aren't willing to do anything about it because they just point the finger at China as being the country leading emissions. Despite emissions per capita being much MUCH higher in the US

“Donald Trump has a history of serving himself and standing for the billionaire class and that’s contrary to everything that working-class people stand for,” Fain said Sunday.

Probably one of the best and most succinct statements
