I can’t keep up, is today the day Mitch’s obituary is released or did I miss it?

I respect the hell out of this new anti-ev argument, it’s stupid but very innovative and fresh. This is fun, I had fun but imagine how many lives we could save if everyone just put their phones down while being or interacting with traffic?

Yeah yeah no tailpipe emissions is great & all but from the pedestrian perspective the concept of EVs is basically “what if we took the things most likely to kill you and made them HEAVIER and SILENT”

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

We saw Interpol in Denver on Friday. Truly incredible show, was great to see the opener Youth Lagoon again too. If they’re coming through your town don’t miss it.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Oh, my God. Nicest guy. Was on the Pogues bill at Carnegie with him. His love of music was palpable, infectious, radiant. I’ve seldom seen a musician as connected to the moment of the song as he was that night, in deep communion with the song & the people playing it. So many felt it. Hard loss.

Well, here it is: a couple, Glendy and Nixon, is murdered after Nixon was caught by ICE & deported to Guatemala. Glendy and their three children struggled without him, feared being caught by ICE & separated, and so joined him. www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

Some really disgusting and stupid anti trans ads running on MLB Network tonight. They’re for a Wyoming congressional candidate, looked up his opponent and he’s an openly gay finance guy and then the next picture is dude in a maga hat. 🫠

We have some time-bounded problems that are simply not going to get solved if we don't know how to deal with this kind of attack, or worse, if we won't advocate for our own position. The planet will become unlivable in my lifetime. I'm sorry if that makes me a little bit unyielding as an activist

This is *actual* EV ownership. Out of my home (sold), in a VRBO, my 2022 IONIQ 5 is plugged into a household outlet and will add maybe 50 miles before I head out to pick up the dog. Then we drive 240 miles, approx 4 hours, to bako, and I'll stop for maybe 10 minutes near 6 flags on the way. 🤷🏻easy

“Colorado Saves The World” is a new comedy & news podcast modeled after NPR’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” It was a blast to be the inaugural guest. Look for the first episode very soon — wherever you get podcasts.

Things will get worse as more students secretly use AI to do homework. There has always been a divide between those who care about education for its own sake and those who only care about grades, but AI will worsen this divide, leaving fewer people with the ability to do causal reasoning.

GM had me banned from discussing any research or strategy findings for 6 mo, which my firm begrudgingly went along with as they took in US$M in annual fees, bc of a study I co-authored that got major coverage. Privately they agreed w/conclusions, but hated the PR. Their bankruptcy? My vindication.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
