Excellent

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

Since body autonomy is no longer a thing, going forward, all male infants must provide a DNA sample before their 2nd birthday, to be kept in a database for eternity. It will be easier to identify them if they rape someone, and we won't have to go through this shit again.
Just sayin.

Good point, @WillP. But it's hard to plan ahead. My wife has errands that I don't know about, so it is simpler to just get in line, without taking time to do a guesstimate.

It’s made me appreciate how effortless my hydrogen car was.

So it’s frustrating when people treat EV charging as a solved problem. It’s only solved if you have a driveway.

I can charge for free at work, five miles from home, but it’s still a hassle. There are 18 chargers for 400 registered cars. At 7 AM there’s no wait, by 8:30 it’s a 2–3 hour line. Then leave a meeting to move my car—twice. If I charge too long at work I lose access, and public chargers bill you.

I brought this up only because my recent experience with PHEV shows that charging remains a PITA. The car is fine --- it has 500 mile range. But it's not easy to be green, as a wise philosopher said. Green = hassle.

I agree the window has passed (for now) in the US for hydrogen passenger cars. I wonder if it will return as power gets cheaper and volume goes up for green hydrogen in agriculture, steel and cement.

And yet it’s even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they won’t be arriving anytime soon.

This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

But I drove a hydrogen car for 3 years, and it was *way* more convenient than this RAV4.
It takes 2-1/2 hours to charge the measly 40-mile range. A gas station model would not work.
It's not all-or-nothing. Some people are better served by hydrogen. I don't have to imagine it.

I live in Cupertino, CA, where there are many, many apartments, mostly two story, but also a number of "bee hives" that are around 10 stories. And in the suburbs people still need cars. One could imagine every street and parking garage parking spot adds a charger.

As I said, convenience is more important than efficiency. Don't just say 'FU' to the apartment dwellers.

I think it is a wishful thinking problem. It would be *so easy* if BEVs worked for everybody. But they don't. And BEV fans resist considering alternatives.

Using hydrogen is a workable solution to make EV accessible to the other 75% that don't have driveways.

It's there *anybody* here who routinely charges their EV away from home or work who likes the experience?

All true. My point is that pure batteries *don't work* for many people - - people without driveways.
Hydrogen alternative works well.

Yes. Even with this "experimental" fuel infrastructure we had good luck . In 3 years we had to adjust our plans only for 2 weeks.

The liquid storage hydrogen stations seemed more reliable than the gaseous storage hydrogen stations.

We used to have a hydrogen Clarity FCEV and that was *Much more convenient*. I filled it once per week in 10 mins. 360 Mile range. And that was 8 years ago!

In this world of abundance convenience is more valuable then efficiency.

Go hydrogen.

BEVs are wonderful, but they only work for people with driveways. That is perhaps 25% of US households.

Public charging sucks.

We recently bought a RAV4 PHEV with 40 mile electric range. I try to charge it about 5x per week. Painful.

A good way to retain only the least qualified people.

Somehow, incompetence has become the goal.

How did that happen? Why?

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

Immigration agents keep lying, the "Justice" Department keeps prosecuting innocent people, and the cases keep collapsing in court.
Trump's thugs aren't fighting violent criminals – they *are* violent criminals. 1/2🧵

Let's stop pretending. DHS/ICE is not about law enforcement. It is a criminal conspiracy to kidnap, imprison, and abuse innocent people for private profit.

It is wildly over-funded for untrained violence, confinement, and military cosplay, and wildly underfunded for due process and the rule of law.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?
