I mostly share people smarter & more articulate than I. Sarcasm & inappropriate humor likely. Music helps me remain sane in a world that is not. Peace.

California EV sales hit 29.1% in Q3.

Nearly every Californian is living within 10 minutes of an EV fast charger.

There are now over 200,000 publicly accessible EV charging stations statewide.

Expiring credits juiced sales, but driving EV in CA is easy.

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

While they make cuts and rollbacks to anything “climate” related, the future will continue to look grim for future generations.
Denying or ignoring won’t make it go away.

You guys, make sure you get your paperwork filed with your secret ANTIFA chapter head so you can get your George Soros check for Saturday's protest. 🤫

I will be next to, but not actually with the #nokings protest in Las Vegas (there are 3) downtown. I shall be across the street at the Las Vegas Book Festival.

For those in LV I recommend you be at one or the other or both.
