They used to smoke on airplanes. AIRPLANES!
When I moved to Maryland in 2004 it was a huge shock to go to a restaurant and people were still allowed to smoke. California had banned it for like ten years by that time, and I just couldn't believe that people willingly lived like that

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

I asked my coworker who was going to win the fifth race at Del Mar. He just smiled.
My coworker came up with a hopeful alternative. Needing a large distraction for the Epstein Files, rather than a military incursion into a foreign country, the president could announce he's legalizing weed.

Hmmm, that's unexpected.

The move wouldn't legalize marijuana, but moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III would allow the FDA to study it for medical purposes.
Trump expected to sign an order moving to reclassify cannabis and open up medical potential

Clearly the redacted Epstein Files will be released late on a Friday night. (12/5, 12/12, 12/19, etc.) The only question is when is it more politically expedient to initiate the bombing and attack? The day prior to the release, or the day after?
Venezuelans want to know.

The terrorists in Australia were firing single shot, bolt action rifles. They killed 15 people. In the U.S., they would have had AR-15s and would have killed hundreds. Gun laws work. Repeal the Second Amendment.

This is great. I am hopeful I'll be able to buy a 2029 Fiat 500e w/ NACS port here in California.
Stellantis (finally) adopts NACS.
🔌 In 2026 CCS EVs will get access to Tesla’s NACS Superchargers with an Adapter
🌏 Will also apply to their EVs Japan and Korea where Tesla Network is also NACS
🗓️ TBA when Native NACS will come to Stellantis EVs?
