Trump Destroyed the EV Industry, Just When We Need It Most Those gas guzzlers he loves sound a lot less appealing when filling them costs $4 a gallon.

"Since taking office [Trump} has launched an all-out assault on EVs—by working with Republicans in Congress to eliminate tax breaks for vehicle production and purchases... and by gutting federal and state emissions standards that favored fuel efficiency." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-elec...

The Genius Is a Clean Room A new museum opened in east London this month and a reviewer called it a place to "fire up the geniuses of the future." I read that sentence three times. Not because it was wrong. Because I recognised

The Writing Ball was built for students who couldn't see the page. Nietzsche got one later and scholars spent a century on what it did to his sentences. The room it came from stayed invisible.

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

and

$4,049 — weapons and war.

These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Earnestpost: Every single time I see a movie in a theater (which is generally 2-3 times a week) I take a moment to appreciate how cool it is that I’m seeing a movie in a theater.

very proud of the first six films I've programmed as part of my role as guest programmer of Must-Watch Indies at FACETS here in Chicago.

April titles still have screenings through the 23rd. May titles begin on the 10th. June is shaping up to be great too!

What neurodivergent people really think about the words used to describe them Research reveals a clear preference for how neurodivergent adults want to be described, though not everyone agrees.

“We recommend listening to neurodivergent people to find out about their preferences and using the words that they prefer, instead of solely being led by traditions which have developed without the input of the communities we are referring to.”

Government exists to serve the people.

The lesson here? Fire this loser.

Elect someone who can do the job.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

A little-known piece of space history

Dude #cassunday went crazy with this.

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, ally of Trump and Putin, concedes election defeat WIth record turnout, Hungarians chose to end the 16-year rule of the prime minister who was a self-proclaimed champion of illiberal Christian democracy.

Breaking news: Hungarians chose to end the 16-year rule of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, darling of MAGA-aligned American conservatives, an ally of the Kremlin and a proud antagonist of European Union leaders in Brussels.

Tisza now at 132 seats, one seat away from supermajority.

Here's hoping Orban, Pooty & Chump ALL lose!!! 👎 👎 👎

I do not like this headline, Sam I Am.

Interestingly, the improvements in the cited study compare groups where only 25% complied with the detox. So just *being in a study* like this (and maybe the associated mindfulness around one’s own screen time?) explains much of the effect.

All My Dead Cats and Other Losses: Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning

We have such a shortage of cultural criticism and analysis right now and these aren’t abstract fun theoretical concepts. They are essential and vital to understanding the world and how we relate to it. It’s why I wrote ALL MY DEAD CATS and why I hope people find meaning in it.

Always listen to Lawrence!

The gig is up and so's the grift. It's wayyyyyyyyyy past time for networks to catapult their lazy programmers and producers into this century and start respecting disabled folks as the creators, critics, and catalysts that we are.

Thanks, Kristen. On point as always!

No need to worry: Claim Jonathan the tortoise died is just another death hoax The internet tried to kill the ancient reptile on April Fools' Day 2026.

WORD TO THE WISE: Double and then triple check your "news" sources. Snopes reports that news of Jonathan the tortoise's demise are premature. The ol' boy is very much alive and still kickin'... at either 193 or 194 years old depending on who ya believe.

Also, whew!
