If that were anything other than an EV it would've been torched. Still cruising even with significant battery degradation (down 4 bars)!
I was about the same age seeing it in the theatre as an aircraft-obsessed kid. The fire scene stays with me. Eventually going on to maintain a collection with the actual aircraft from the film was a treat though.
As many have stated pretty much commercials. Here in central Florida sometimes the network channels (ABC, NBC et al) would throw in a PSA like Schoolhouse rock or Hankerin' for a Hunk of Cheese. But for the most part just a block of commercials to fill in whatever gaps there were.
Also ended a 15yr in Feb and have all the feels, so hugs and support to you!
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
Young people deserve the right to privacy. Florida’s SB 868 is a dangerous bill that intends to decrypt teens’ private messages, ban disappearing messages, and allow unrestricted parental access to private messages. Stripping away the safeguards that encryption provides puts everyone at risk.
Karl, do we need to have a discussion about your Jewish Bolshevik Communism? Hmmmm?
We just dropped a music video to our cover of Sinéad O’Connor’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Been listening to this song most of my life and it is always relevant, always brings emotions. Rest in Power, Sinéad. 🕯️

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.
This morning I went to John Lewis Middle School to watch a class taught by Brian Greene. 4 days a week he teaches botany. On Fridays, he teaches the kids how to cook using plants they’ve grown in the school’s gardens.
And who they didn't like
Just dropped a lyric video for our song “Disappear”. It’s about witnessing erasure of cultures and individuals from history, and the heartbreak and loneliness that ensues. It’s also about fighting that erasure - shoutout to BIPOC and trans fam that survive this daily.
Is anybody else having trouble enjoying any drama, no matter how far fetched, if it involves international relations or politics?
THIS 👏🏻 Do you think AOC is right?
National archives aren't just official documents. The notes politicians don't want you to see are in there, and since they're paid by tax dollars, we're allowed to look through those notes.
The National Archivist is the safeguard against rewriting history. Firing the Archivist is frightening.
Fight fascism - keep making art! I’m holding a workshop on building financial sustainability for your long term arts practice. Sliding scale/DM for free tix. Link in bio till Wednesday.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
I want to apologize to the people of Ukraine. We in the U.S. failed you. I am sorry beyond measure.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!
Yeah, of course this happens shortly after migrating to Proton. However this appears to be more a case of "one of our principals is an asshat and his comments don't reflect the views of the organization" for what it's worth. Looking hard at Tuta though, but Swiss privacy laws still govern Proton.
This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!

Is there anything as in need of a story as a random single sneaker lying alongside the roadway?
Our goal is to make the gun community better for the folks who historically have found it difficult to find a community here. If you support gun rights, this shouldn't bother you. If it does, time to figure out why.
This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.
