accidentally started thinking about what I'd include in an NA/US-centric electric vehicle news web site and unfortunately while my ideas are very good they are also extremely high effort and it would probably require a fairly huge team to do well

Are you ready?
I wanted to make a fun holiday ad for Coca-Cola in the spirit of their old Holidays are Coming commercials.
So I sat down and made this beautiful picture, and it looks really great.

Hey everyone, I found out this morning that the guy thats harassed many Chicago folks months ago has been I guess keeping it up. They’ve decided to obsess over me and my loved ones to the point I fear for our safety, so I gotta be off social media. Please report Chiwes.bsky.social

LB: it does say something though that mistrust by default is now a MUCH more common position than it was ~10-15 years ago, when "if you're not paying, you're the product" started to float around as a catchphrase, but in practice nobody really thought anything about it
