This is the shit we need. Can you imagine being able to cut the CO2 emissions from air travel virtually overnight? There'd obviously still be production pollutants from batteries & the planes themselves, but come on: call it $200 of electricity for DC to ATL, fully loaded? Vs ~$4k in jet fuel? Shit…
The world’s largest battery-electric aircraft flew for the first time on the 12th of August, a 27-minute test flight over upstate New York that cost about five dollars in electricity. Heart Aerospace’s 30-seat prototype is a big step toward a commercial version. buff.ly/i3f0PhR

I haven't looked at the whole list but seeing Alex Byrne and J Michael Bailey in the first 20 signatures is the least surprising thing ever
There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.

Always remember that Fascists want your children to be trained, they do not want them to be educated.
Then want to withhold actual education for the children of the wealthy and for members of their own small coterie.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

No matter how good Zohran Mamdani makes grocery affordability sound, he's selling New Yorkers the same broken promise that has failed everywhere else.

People keep asking why/how investors keep "falling for this" and the answer is, I think, that they don't. Investors aren't buying for the long term, they are buying for the short term. The plan is to buy, ride a small wave up, and sell.
This is very bad and will cause a crash eventually.
