Starting think, "yeah, it was Bigotry, but also.....it was the Democratic Party machine"

It really fucking sucks to watch any sports event as a trans person right now because of the Trump commercials, and I just need everyone to know that: yes, we do see the ads, and it's demoralizing to know this entire subset of people sees us as subhuman.

There will be peace if 🇷🇺 only gets:

Part of Moldova.
Ok part of Georgia too but no Ukrainian territory
Ok, Just Crimea
Ok, just Crimea & part of Donetsk
Ok, Just Crimea & all of Donetsk
Ok, Just Crimea & all of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk & Zaporizhzhia

But no more. Promise 😎

A #JustTransition must include communities that now make their living from #OilAndGas.

"Most #OilAndGas communities do not need economic stimulus policies that provide immediate relief. What they need are holistic economic development strategies that can cultivate new industries – building on their existing strengths – that will enable them to prosper into the future."

Luckily, most Black men haven't been shot by police. But this being dragged out of a car, or put in cuffs, or threatened with death or violence or trumped up jail charges? That stuff happens to millions of Black drivers.

"Tyreek should have just been polite! I'm always polite! As a Black man we always have to be polite!" That's how I think. And it is a broken way of thinking.

"Shortly before the Journal went to press Sept. 3, Graham, clad in a beige baseball cap and jeans, addressed the University Senate during its public forum to report he'd received "a veiled threat of potential legal action" after sharing the access website he'd created with university administrators.

I sort of love that these two vehicles have the same bed size.

The Kei's is actually a bit more useful because you can fold down the sides.

An electric Kei could be a game changer in cities.

Ignorance of how EVs work is holding back uptake, says survey

The survey "asked 1,000 UK petrol/diesel car drivers ten questions about electric cars, mainly focused on popular pieces of misinformation that has been pushed by the oil industry and other entities that oppose cleaner, better vehicles.

The survey found that this #misinformation is alive and well – and particularly alive and well among drivers who haven’t driven an #EV."

Boeing is dead.

"I have covered the space industry closely during the last 15 years, and during most of that time Boeing was perceived by much of the industry as the blueblood of spaceflight while SpaceX was the company that was going to kill astronauts due to its supposed recklessness.

Now the space agency is asking SpaceX to, in effect, rescue the Boeing astronauts currently on the International Space Station."

I’ll hear arguments that wind turbines and solar farms are “ugly” after we ban billboards.

Every single display on every non Apple device in this store is making a huge deal about "AI". Most of these ads read like threats
