I'd like to see a national emergency on gun violence. Perhaps instituting a new federal insurance that all gun owners need to have per gun. Make it SUPER expensive.

An EV does make you do a lot of math. Mine gets like 250 on a full battery, which you're apparently not supposed to do often, so when I want to take a road trip I need to be sure I can charge or I have to rent a car. For 95% of my driving it's enough though.

Wonderful piece on why Grosse Pointe Blank is a great movie, "a morally grey rom-com with a body count" with a protagonist "skeptical of everything, emotionally frozen, and desperate for something real." (And I'd forgotten how charming John Cusack was.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=90My...

The key disconnect is Republicans think the shooters will want to live. They do not. This is why police presence or the death penalty is not a deterrent. It is Republicans who want to get away and fear death. These soulless assholes do not.

Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏
