OMG

This is only anecdotal, but I drove hours through rural north Florida towns and backroads today and saw only two small Trump yard signs, one very old and faded Trump flag, and zero bumper stickers. Trump is in trouble if he’s no longer getting rural Florida excited.

I had forgotten that Steve Bannon was back in prison, lol. Don’t know about you, but my day just got a tiny bit better knowing that turd isn’t wandering the streets.

@w7voa if every journalist said things in such a straightforward and honest way, we probably wouldn’t have had trump the first time. Thank you. #Bears

No one in the #Olympics has shown a more amazing and generous spirit than Maddison-Lee Wesche of New Zealand, who won silver in the women’s shot put. Her smile, even after being beaten, was just amazing and genuine. She wins a gold medal in my heart:)

Total number of electric cars I saw in Mobile, Alabama over the course of 3 days: 2.

1 Tesla Model Y and 1 Chevy Bolt.

I was absolutely stunned. Strangely, WAYYYYY fewer trucks here than in Idaho. I was beginning to think everyone in America was driving a ginormous truck until my visit here.

Number of bike lanes in Mobile: ZERO. WTF????

New Lupe Fiasco album Samarai just dropped, and that dude has still got such nice flow. I’ve only heard a couple of songs so far, but they are super tight. #hiphop #rap #music #lupefiasco

@arstechnica RFK Jr gonna get more than just brain worms.

There was a time when only the biggest dipshits drove jacked up trucks. Are there 100x as many dipshits in the world now?

Wow, Kindle Unlimited is just a huge flaming garbage pile of ChatGPT. #enshittification #ai #chatgpt

Hahahahahahaha

@emilygorcenski is it me, or has UI gotten really bad lately for a lot of software?

@mmasnick I wish poverty upon Andreesen in the new year.

It’s cheaper per day to rent a car than an electric bike in most circumstances. Id love to be able to rent a long-range electric bike at a train station or airport and then return it there when I leave.

I had some realtor text me unsolicited a few years ago, trying to steal some property. Fucking flippers. Anyway, just for my own amusement I occasionally text them to update them on the property, see if they are still interested.

Too much damn techno nonsense in the new Mini EV. I want an almost completely analog EV. Lot of physical switches, touch screen optional.

@W6KME my Chevy Bolt alllllmost gets it right, but half the AC controls are on the touchscreen and the others are physical. Don’t like that. You can’t control the AC until the screen boots up.

Who is the sadist running the Phoenix Heat Response team. They are human trombe walls in those long black pants and dark shirt, no hats.

@thomasfuchs I’ve never even heard of the “WorkSlate”, but love the design. Mini cassette!!!
