I am loving this season of Palm Royal! Anyone else into that show? It’s a nice escape from the craziness of everyday into the craziness of Kristen Wiig and Carol Burnett!

American car companies can’t even make sedans anymore with any fuel type. Meanwhile my buddy traveling in China is posting pictures of fastback EVs that have animated LED characters on the back.

Hey Nintendo: I think you should make a Mario Kart character out of my dog, Enzo. I feel like he would fit right in with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi! And he likes to drift all around the house chasing treats 🤣

“EV maintenance is a nightmare!” … I just performed the only service I’ll likely need for another 2 years. Windshield washer fluid. 🤣

This is what #EV owners are talking about: no oil changes, no tune ups, no timing belt, no brake service until ~120k miles, just tires & I’m still on my original set

We tried a new mushroom based vegan cafe in downtown Portland called The Dusted Cup. While #PDX is one of most vegan friendly cities in the world, most of the great plant based restaurants are on the east side of the city, so this new option downtown is very welcome! The tofu scramble was great!

Important to note. Gas car sales are decreasing. EV sales continue to grow. No matter how the NYT whoever spins the headlines.

Abraham Chen speaking last week at Carnegie Changemakers about how using the B Corp certification as a consumer is a bit of a shortcut to know that the company you are buying products or services from is doing the right things for the environment and people.

Big thank you to @nerd4cities.bsky.social for his recent video on Portland. I love that so many of us are showing our actual lived experience in the city we love. Stick around until the end for his analysis on why conservatives love to fear monger about cities. #pdx

You know you are in Portland when you drive your EV to the all vegan cheese shop for lunch ☺️. Vtopian on NE Grand at the corner of NE Couch.

The Russia proposal to “end the war in Ukraine” is even crazier than I thought. It basically gives Russia everything and locks the US into a trade deal with Russia to develop oil and AI… which has what to do with Ukraine peace? Read more here: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-2...

The Arc One electric speedboat looks so pretty in the water. I usually say that I don’t have a favorite project in my career, but designing the Arc One EV might have changed that. See the design process here:

Traditionally technology has helped us to be more creative, but AI strips that creativity out of our hands. Great opinion piece in @theguardian.com by @daveschilling.bsky.social

Also, I canceled Spotify years ago, but in case you need another thousand reasons:

in spite of the trailer following the trend of taking a popular song from 20 years ago and slowing it way down, I'm looking forward to this new sci-fi movie "Project Hail Mary"... also, not going to lie, I absolutely love Ryan Gosling:

How is it that there is no Chevy Spark EV for sale in the United States? The Chevy Spark was their affordable hatchback model. A fun little car at a good price. What a perfect name for the equivalent product in the age of the EV. #ev #cardesign #industrialdesign

A lot of Americans complaining that EVs aren’t affordable. #EV advocates often push back with EVs being cheaper to own but of course that doesn’t matter if you can’t afford to buy one. A lot don’t realize that there are many affordable EV options globally like this one.
