The age groups who spend the most time on Facebook feeds though are the most likely to have voted for this administration...

Exactly. The 60 and 70 year olds I spend time with, women especially (not a dig, but an observation), are just as addicted to facebook as the Instagram / TikTok crowd are to those platforms.

Why did the dealerships not want them? (Honest question, I have no idea about any of this)

There is a hypothesis that dealers disincentivized salespeople from selling EVs due to a lower expected amount of service department revenue in the future. I work in the industry close enough to get a whiff of that and I never heard anything more than speculation.

Dealerships only make money on “the back end”, which is servicing.

Any vehicle that requires less servicing makes them less money, so they don’t want to sell them.

I did this, and yeah google maps is all but unusable without color, that and the camera takes some getting used to.

I'm on an iPhone, but what ended up doing was creating a shortcut that toggles the phone to grayscale and back, and then having two automations, one for when I open any of the apps I actually want color in (maps, camera, photos, etc) that toggles grayscale off and then another automation to toggle grayscale back on when I close any of those same apps.

The option is located in Settings > Accessibility >Display & Text Size > Color Filters

It isn't perfect, but it works most of the time (I also added the shortcut to the back of the home screen so if it is off or I need one-off color I can just toggle it manually).

On iOS, the grey scale filter can also be activated via triple clicking the power button:

It is the “zoom”, in which you can have 1.0 scale and add a color filter.

I like the combined grayscale and color inversion filter.

The triple click zoom is activated in Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut: https://support.apple.com/111771

The scale can be set by activating the zoom controller once, zooming out, and then hiding it.

looks cool I'll check them out, FWIW lately for me it's mostly chirpradio.org and somafm

Wow, I actually had no idea what he was a UW grad, let alone that I went there the same time he did... TIL

I did a for-profit course registration tool called uwrobot too if you or any of your friends were customers of that...

Wow, and if you go to their website listed in they're profile, not only do almost none of the links work, the one that did just linked out to the generic template that it was straight copied from. Wow.

I can't find anything that would suggest this is true, but I would love if you were able to link me something proving me wrong, as I loved that movie growing up and like reading about it still.

You have no idea how old you saying "I loved that movie growing up" makes me feel :-)

I have no idea what your source is for this, but I'm shocked it's that low per day

You're referring to Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman, right?

hey now it's been too long to talk about. you missed the window. it's no longer a valid talking point it the zeitgeist /s

the media coverage difference says everything
