The reporter who wrote this is dumb.
“Would I switch to an EV?
Driving an EV has its benefits, but the trade-off is clear: save money but lose time, unless you can charge at home”
That’s the point you wanker - charge it overnight, it’s not fucking hard 🤦♀️

Israel is "PROHIBITED" by the US from bombing Lebanon, says Donald Trump.
It underlines a basic fact:
Israel's genocide and war crimes could be stopped at any moment by any US president.
This is ethnic cleansing and genocide in southern Lebanon.
Yet still, @albomp.bsky.social does nothing.
It feels like yesterday that online-engineers-of-a-certain-age were saying that heavy freight could never be electrified. To quote William Gibson, "The future is here. It’s just not widely distributed yet." Fossil fuel interests want to keep it that way.
Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
Jim Tory Chalmers plans to cut red tape for business, while maintaining absurd levels of scrutiny for unemployed people.
Because corporations have proven to make responsible and moral choices when left to govern themselves.
And because unemployed people are shit on the government shoe.

If only they knew how angry we truly are
Shorter. Liam Bartlett is an idiot.
Is the success in the room with us now?
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon says he’s “reviewing” charges from the unwelcome Herzog visit after the court ruled his anti-protest laws unconstitutional.
Save the taxpayers' money and drop them now, Mal. The court has spoken. #auspol #nswpol
I guess grifting is a plan.
Friday: "extraordinary pretrial publicity" means a fair trial likely “not possible”, may never go ahead.
Monday: #BRS runs to #NewsCorpse, generating more "extraordinary pretrial publicity". 👇
Where's the gag order, DPP/AFP? You're not trying to screw this up like Bruce Lehrmann's trial, are you?
"The assumption underpinning employment services – that unemployed people need to be monitored, impoverished and coerced – is in direct contradiction to an interest rate policy framework that requires a certain level of unemployment to control inflation"

Aerial view of large scale devastation inflicted on the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, with an Israeli tank parked in the center of the photo.
This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon
This.
Deadset legends
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Important context for my last repost: Queensland govt has banned the phrase, "from the river to the sea" due to being absolute dickheads, so folks are gathering en masse to sing a song by Australian icon John Farnham that uses a very similar phrase in the chorus. Absolutely fantastic protest imo

The Guardian documented quadruple-tap by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. Three waves of ambulances were struck. Paramedics came for the injured. They were struck. Backup crews arrived. They were struck too
In six weeks of war, Israel has killed at least 91 medical workers.

Let’s show our support for Travis and the National Walk for Truth.

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history
Love a good Monty Python reference. “Mate the international rules-based order wouldn’t voom if you put 4 million volts through it”
"The world is stuck watching a perpetually performative series of announcements about meetings that could, may, will happen, involving US negotiators with no negotiating skills and a president not dealing with the reality that he is in a weak, and confused, bargaining position."
that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records
Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"
If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.
