Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

We tried to get comment on this from some Paris residents, but they've all left town for the entire summer due to the tradition of giving everyone in Paris the entire summer off because it's too hot
The U.S. is among the countries bringing portable AC units to the Paris Olympics this summer since the Athletes' Village won't have any. Many athletes are worried about competing in extreme heat.

Lol. The "Cybertruck will act as a boat" but, if you drive your brand new Cybertruck with 26 miles on it in a tiny bit of water, not even reaching the cabin, your insurance company may total the car as not worth the cost of repairing your $100k dumpster on wheels. electrek.co/2024/06/24/t...

This shithead was my rep. until the GOP redistricted him to a safer set of Zip codes: "Tell you what – I do want to 'ethnic cleanse' by deporting white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree," Roy tweeted. "I really do not like 'those people.'"

Guy waited five years and paid $102k for a Cybertruck, crashed it after four hours of driving, only for Tesla to tell him that "the accelerator may not disengage under braking" and that it will take $30k and one year to repair. Truly an L of historical proportions. www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/...

Also, every accusation is a confession. Trump is gonna be medicated to the gills in order to keep him from falling asleep like he did during his trial.

Its extraordinary how much the press has to bend over backwards to avoid observing what is absolutely obvious to anyone following Cannon's decisions: she is ignoring the law in order to help Trump. (and that her willingness to do this is the reason she was appointed in the first place.) Gift link:

i'm sorry, this is an area where i am just completely unwilling to compromise. i think speeding and reckless driving are profoundly antisocial acts that are DEMONSTRABLY PROVEN to result in TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS every year in car and pedestrian crashes. this seems bad to me.
if you don't like the idea of a traffic camera snapping a photo of your car for speeding there is a very easy solution

One of the coolest summers of the rest of your life:
Prolonged, record-breaking heat is on the way for an area of the country that has largely avoided it so far, wildfire risks are rising in parts of the West and bathtub-warm water could fuel the first tropical depression of the Atlantic hurricane season.

the benefits of making sure sycophants hold your company’s stock is you can loot it for over $50 billion and when a court says no, the shareholders will still give it to you
We don't have the final results yet but it looks like we can dispense with the idea that Tesla can ever be anything other than Mad King Elon's personal domain of fraud and abuse. He is the company, and the company is him. www.ibtimes.co.uk/tesla-shareh...

Hochul "paused congestion pricing because it doesn’t poll well. It didn’t poll well before it was instituted in London or Stockholm, either, where it has been solving gridlock, increasing bus ridership and reducing asthma rates. Opinion shifted in those cities after residents saw the benefits."
What Made New York Great? Leadership. Where Is It Now?www.nytimes.com The city was built on bold ideas. Suddenly Gov. Kathy Hochul paused a game-changing plan to fight congestion. Can we still do big things in a polarized moment?

Climate world—this is the real deal. Congestion pricing is an oil demand reduction program. And an incredibly effective one. It will improve air quality for communities overburdened with deadly pollution. It will fund transit. It will make communities healthier. It’s a huge climate win, if we do it.
Kathy Hochul’s decision to halt congestion pricing in NYC — if it holds — is a generational setback for US climate policy. It is worse than the Mountain Valley pipeline or Willow project in Alaska, and it will have lacerating national implications. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/economy/kath...

One of the darker subplots to this is DeSantis gutting the state’s felon voter restoration amendment but making clear that he, as the head of the pardon board, will clear Trump.
that's why they call it the land of opportunity, dumbass
