This is truly one of the more baffling decisions I’ve seen in a long time. Tesla is a leader in charging infrastructure, to the degree that virtually every other carmaker is even adopting its standard.

Then Elon Musk laid off the entire Supercharger team.

"It is not just the “hush money” or the “porn star” sideshow. It is a case about an alleged attempt by a man running for this country’s highest office to systematically defraud voters and use illegal means to gain an advantage in an election."

At the most fundamental level, the former president is a con man. A liar. He lies about everything about himself. Everything.

Don't forget he's also talked of injecting bleach into Americans, suspending the constitution and eviscerated the administration of law and order. Americans have an increasingly obvious choice ahead of them in November.

I wonder which way they will go.

Got pinged yesterday by a UK colleague friend who is also mom to a trans, ND teen.

She's considering moving her family here because care is shutting down so fast for her daughter.

These assholes just don't understand how dark things get and how fast for these kids when gender care is pulled. They also don't care.

I do not want to see any kids die because of that damned report. And they will.

My heart is broken.

May I ask, where is 'here'?

Yes. You're right about change happening fast, and trans teens will die. We need all the protections we can get.

People think these games the play tying aid to Ukraine to the US border are very clever. Currently Ukraine forces have little ammunition and are struggling. All so that the likes of Mat Gaetz and MTG can flex political muscles.

My son in law died yesterday in Ukraine. He was killed fighting. He was a teacher. An inoffensive 40 year old recently called up. His two children are refugees in Germany and hadn't seen him in 18 months. Yes, assholes, there are consequences to your actions.

I found this article in Vox very accurate. Not entirely encouraging, but certainly truth telling. It takes some reading, but is worth soldiering through.

"Next thing you know, it’s been three years and you’ve spent almost no time on your art,” he tells me. “You’re getting worse at it, but you’re becoming a great marketer for a product which is less and less good.”

Whatever other excuses people may try to insert about border issues United States, the real reason is . The same people, usually conservative religious types, who are crying about low birth rates and trying to have as many kids as possible, are the same ones saying that our country is too crowded for (non-white) . The fact is that is the only reason our population is growing, & they all pay taxes.

@RobHadley@mastodon.online avatar

I've been surprised in Mexico how advanced the cycling infrastructure is. This separated bike lane in La Paz is safe, well used, and well maintained. I have no idea how representative this is, however having cycled in several places in the Baja I am thrilled to say it's a great place to bike. And yes, I know I'm on the wrong side of the lane. Well you try using your phone as a camera and cycling at the same time!!!!

People can be as upset about this as they want, but so long as they continue to watch they continue tacitly supporting their user-hostile actions. If you really want to make a difference, stop watching, and tell content creators why. When you can convince them to move to platforms that don't shove ads down your throat every 3 minutes, THAT is when you'll see change their tune.

@tilvids

I think perhaps there's a bigger problem here. People expect content for free. That was ok in 1997, and the net was a very different place then, however those of us who do create content have a reasonable expectation to get paid.

At one time YouTube paid out quite nicely, and then about 10 years ago they arbitrarily changed their method and it reduced to literally 10% of what it had been. However, regardless of the platform, it seems fair that creators should get some kind of payday.
