1/... Via Kevinly Father on Twitter:

The Republican party is literally suing to prevent legal votes from being counted.

Bartiromo: I see that the RNC is filing a lawsuit in a battleground state to stop counting ballots past election day.

Lara #Trump: Yeah. Well, that's exactly right. You cannot have ballots counted after elections are over.

@GottaLaff Indeed ballots should be counted before the election happens. Causality be damned.

A Polestar Phone now inexplicably exists

Polestar normally makes electric cars, but now it's releasing a phone.

Finally watched the Don Lemon interview with Musk, and while it doesn't reflect all that well on Lemon's interviewing chops, it (especially the aftermath) does highlight Musk's sleaziness and extremism.

The heart of the matter is that Musk is a clear and present danger to our media ecosystem -- and given his support for people who want to move us toward a right-wing dictatorship, a clear and present danger to our democracy.

Focus on that.

@dangillmor Lemon was never a good journalist in my opinion...he was always after sensationalism...i remember how he was pandering to "The LHC will create a black hole that will destroy earth" when the LHC was going to be switched on. I suspect CNN put him front and centre for his good looks..till he showed his misogynistic side. Remember he made a deal to be on X...the town center of racists, mysogynes and fascists...definitely not a journalist in my book.

BREAKING: Federal judge dismisses a conservative lawsuit challenging a Washington, D.C. law that allows noncitizen residents to vote in local elections. Republican voters argued the law "discriminates against U.S. citizens living in D.C."

@drahardja@sfba.social avatar

Very interesting to hear what NA CEO Ted Ogawa has to say about investment in the US.

Essentially, Toyota is ignoring EPA guidelines about BEV mix and focusing entirely on customer demand, and they will not make BEVs in numbers higher than expected demand lest they waste their resources.

Toyota’s now-well-known reticence in jumping into the BEV bandwagon, preferring to sell instead, may prove to be the better bet. The EPA is likely to reduce their mandate for 50% BEV new car sales by 2030. If they do, then Toyota’s strategy would have been proven right.

Japanese automakers were simply paying attention to the facts, not buying into a fad. As a result, they are making massive profits while the rest of the industry losses billions on their BEV programs.
