I've seen the mini-series V (The Visitors) more times than I can count. While it is silly in many ways, it also gives a really detailed look into how fascism can take over from within. The propaganda stunt they just pulled with Kilmar reminds me of the kind of media manipulation the Visitors did.

Nearly 300,000 new electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the first quarter of 2025 in the US, an increase of 11.4% year over year. Despite many obstacles — and what you may read elsewhere — electric-vehicle sales continue to grow at a healthy pace. GM/Hyundai made the most gains this quarter.

One of the most frustrating things about Public DC fast charging is that few people follow etiquette regarding the charger they use. Uber Chevy Bolt drivers always plug into the 350kw charger and sit for an hour charging to 100% at 30kw while there are other 100kw chargers free.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

I'm watching the first episode of the new season of Handmaid's Tale, and I'm finding it really hard to watch. The collective trauma of just... everything.

At a certain point there's an argument for Canada just saying, eff it, 100% tariffs on all US goods and services until Trump resigns or is removed It would honestly add certainty to the current economic environment
