If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

A frequent concern I hear when doing Electric Vehicle show-and-tells is "EVs catch fire". Sure, they occasionally do, usually as a result of a major accident that pierces the battery pack. However gas powered cars catch fire far more often and frequently not as the result of an accident.

It's time to take solace and pride in what people disparigingly call a bubble. I don't need to talk to the 'other side', to the hate-filled, the reactionary, the proudly low-info. I don't have their books on my shelves, I don't invite them over. And I don't need to hear what they have to say online.

Sold our Tesla stock and if it was feasible, we'd sell our cars too. I'll still promote EVs wherever and whenever I can but I won't be supporting or promoting Tesla until Elon is removed from its leadership and is no longer a major investor.

Made a big batch of pulled glass flowers in the studio this week. Here is a sample of the colors.

TIL: You can reboil undercooked boiled eggs! I discovered this morning the batch of hard boiled eggs I made in my instant pot last night were soft. Tossed them all back into the instant pot for another few minutes and they are perfect now.

I made some (not very good) glass flowers in the studio this week. Definitely need more practice.
