Hot take: if you live in a place where you can't charge your #EV at home overnight (i.e., a city), then cars shouldn't be the main transportation means in this place to begin with.

TIL Samuel Morse, known today for the telegraph, was also a prolific painter. He created a 6' by 9' painting with more than three dozen Louvre masterpieces in miniature, to serve as a "textbook" to American painters. A small Mona Lisa is in there too.

Following up yesterday's post: here is the same view of Varick Street by the Holland Tunnel, as seen today (Friday) at 5pm. Normally at this time my office is filled with a symphony of horns honking and traffic managers screaming at drivers. To see this and hear mostly silence at 5pm on a Friday would have been unthinkable even a week ago.
Needless to say, I am 100% sold on congestion pricing in New York City.

Mastodon Feeda critical thing to realize is that your employer is pulling the mask off another mask it was also always wearing - there was never anything sincere about its earlier cooptation of your queer identity, and the only morally positive payment for your years of complicity is to damage that machine's capacities for harm as much as possible before it discards you.
