I usually love @verge but this is a bad take. Of course Apple used professional lighting and equipment when taking the video. That doesn't at all diminish the result or achievement here.

> Norway offers a warning about the dangers of promoting EVs at the expense of modes that are more beneficial to the environment as well as urban life. The national government’s decision to subsidize electric cars but not e-bikes makes no sense from a climate perspective.

It's cars. It's always cars.

Both Monkeybrains and the preschool feel entitled to free parking on a plot of land that neither owns.

It's almost like every problem in every city ends up being because of cars. I'm starting to think that maybe cars are bad.

Cars make people DERANGED.

Has Rudy Rucker assaulted anyone over parking lately?

You have no idea how brutal this campaign has been… They put everything they had into this, all their power, state institutions, state media, all their hate, lies, piles of money. And they still lost.

They pissed off people so much that there was a record turnout, so many young people went to vote.

No one expected it would look like this, polling stations weren't prepared. Some people voted at 2-3am, 6 hours after the deadline (!), after waiting in queues for hours in the cold…

Pedestrians, it should be our right to be distracted. It should be our right to walk and listen to music / look at the sky / cute dogs / snowflakes and not worry about getting killed. Nothing about that is dangerous except for CARS. Don't let them make you believe you are the problem.
