Thank you for sending the Ars article. That combined with @techconnectify.bsky.social’s videos convinced us to get a used EV. After some test drives we landed on a 2022 Chevy Bolt EV! We’re planning on charging it in our garage at Level 1/120v. Thanks!

My wife just bought a used 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, the decision to get it was partially because it’s a hatchback; she also dislikes SUVs and crossovers. It’s a little taller than she’d prefer but as you said, options are limited. We literally just got it so too early to review!
My @heyheymomo.bsky.social icon is here!
Any recommended brands/models for used EVs? Nissan Leaf looks great in 2026 but that’s not available used yet. I love Hyundai but I’m nervous about ICCU issues. Chevy Bolt is already discontinued which worries me.
You were one of my favorite professors at Lehigh and truly made my education there feel worth it. Thank you for that, and I hope you’re doing a bit better.
I didn’t know that was a thing! I should request my grandpa’s military records too.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

Partially because I saw this, mostly because it looks great, I just preordered your book. Thanks

You are tired because your nervous system is overwhelmed by everything happening at the macro level, in your social media interactions, and in your personal/professional life.
Take a moment, drink some water, and take a nap.
The horrors persist but so must you.

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins

I’ve bought 2 SD cards, both advertised as compatible with my Nintendo Switch 2, neither worked.
A menorah with all 9 blue and white candles lit (8 for the nights and the shamash in the middle). The menorah is shiny, silver in color and a twisted metal. It’s on foil covered in bits of wax and used matches. The room it’s in is darkened.
Happy Hanukkah!

I'm still looking for (the right) lawyer to help me challenge gender affirming care bans in court under religious liberty claims. Is that you, or do you know the right person? DMs are open #ProtectTransKids
Annual reminder that if you see a menorah in someone’s window, that’s an act of defiance against bigotry and hate. It’s also pride and bravery.
It’s says “a Jew lives here” and that’s both painting a target but also reminding everyone that we still exist and we always will.

$250 receipt towards the Greater Cleveland Food Bank
Forgot to send earlier, $250 receipt towards the Greater Cleveland Food Bank! Thank you for encouraging people to donate to their local food banks!!
Whoops saw you say they’re gone now.
Where would one find the L’Thaim food truck? May need to make a pilgrimage.
I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
