There’s controlled burns here which in addition to my trouble sleeping might be contributing to *gestures vaguely at myself* my current problems

I think the Nexo, like the Ioniq 5 and 9, looks great, but I spent a tiny bit of time reading up on fuel cell vehicles earlier this year and it's absolutely wild to me that any from any manufacturer have moved in years.

weird question: have you ever paid for sniffies to get back in contact with someone who deleted the chat?

I took a long time to reply to some due mostly to the situation with the house and it's impact on my personal schedule and they deleted the chat and I feel bad but they don't appear in the area

Honestly I hope this comic makes me incredibly rich so that it adds a layer of silliness when my mom chastises me over the phone for saying “piss”

after a couple years of inconsistency with one of the online prep prescribers I finally caught up enough with my main doctor and he was just like "we can do that for you" and I'm like "yay"

so that's nice

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

beyond a shadow of a doubt the most unreasonable measurement about a vehicle I have ever seen:

The All-New Ram 1500 REV boasts over 50 inches of Combined Available Digital Displays with more than 24 inches of Total Touchscreen Display Area.

I'm still kind of EREV-curious, but it makes perfect sense for the brand already building 400-mile BEVs without any current ties to a legacy ICE automaker to denounce the concept

the day before my appointment is a really good time to email me and tell me you think you might need me to re-schedule a different type of appointment for even further out, love this for me

possibly tangential but prior to water filtration becoming common in/after 1850s, booze was one of the easier ways to drink something that had been to an extent cleaned of contaminants
Booze consumption is down and weed consumption is up. The development has benefits, sure, but American culture may also be losing something along the way, Dan Brooks writes:
The Lonely New Vices of American Life
Booze is down and weed is up, and that’s doing something to us as a country.

If you, like me, enjoy cab view videos, BART in the San Francisco/Bay Area has done several hi-res videos of its five services plus the Okaland Airport guided rail shuttle.

They’re all 10x with incidental music. But I live for this stuff. 🚈 🐻
