I have been on the hunt for an original Tofani South Philly door. 100 years old and about a hundred pounds. A beautiful piece of art. I feel lucky to have stumbled into this one. I will keep you posted on the restoration and installation.

Nobody, but NOBODY, can lay Trump lower than, @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, who also does a masterful job of exposing Trump’s cabinet for the morally vacant sycophants they are and always will be. Bravo!

EVs Just Outsold Gas Cars In Europe For The First Time Europe hit a historic milestone as EV sales surpassed gas cars for the first time, despite geopolitical headwinds.

Europe just crossed a real line: BEVs outsold petrol cars for the first time Dec 25. This isn’t policy or targets β€” it’s market reality. Electrification crossed the line. #Bettrification is now doing the damage. At this rate, the EU ICE ban becomes irrelevant β€” 100% hits well before 2035, with ease.

Press homicide charges against Bovino and Noem. They will give up their murderer in a heartbeat to save themselves.
