USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Tesla (TSLA) does something unsual ahead of Q4 delivery results
In a surprising move, Tesla (TSLA) has publicly released a delivery consensus for the fourth quarter of 2025 via a press release on its investor relations website. This is a significant departure from the automaker’s standard operating procedure, suggesting it is trying to get ahead of what looks to be a disappointing quarter.

The point I wish got emphasized more is that the big winners from congestion pricing are *people who urgently need to drive*. Because they are ones that travel times really matter for. I always thought that instead of congestion pricing it should be called "free streets" - free from other cars.

Oh one more thing about fossil fuel; the whole idea that natural gas is so much greener/cleaner than coal is sort of true when you burn it, but so much methane is emitted when it's extracted, & methane is a potent greenhouse gas, that, well, it's not. And we've know that for a while.

Methane leakage as low as 0.2 percent puts gas’s climate impact on par with coal.

Grok says "Elon Musk's restored 2018 Tesla pay package grants him options for ~304 million shares. This represents about 9% of Tesla's ~3.3 billion outstanding shares (as of Dec 2025). When exercised, it would dilute existing shareholders' ownership by roughly 8-9%"

Tesla can proceed with a 2018 pay package that it awarded its chief executive, Elon Musk, the Delaware Supreme Court said on Friday, restoring an award that today is worth $139 billion.
Elon Musk’s 2018 Tesla Pay Deal Is Restored by Delaware Supreme Court
A lower-court judge had invalidated the package, saying shareholders had not been properly informed about the plan. Friday’s ruling means the pay deal, worth about $139 billion now, can proceed.

When climate change takes a flavor from the world.
My in-law family has told me about the tiny, intense pink shrimp that were harvested in stormy seas in Maine winters.
Now warming oceans have reduced the shrimp population to almost nothing, and the fishery has been officially closed.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.
