Remembering this 80th anniversary of the day Italian partisans executed #BenitoMussolini #WW2

I posted my #FacebookExit message this evening:
“I appreciate all the fun and interesting things you’ve all shared here. But other social media services exist that aren’t currently run by a coward and are very easy to join, so I see no logical reason to stay here. I’ve deleted my Threads and Instagram accounts, and will delete my Facebook account before too long.
“I hope to continue to hear from you somewhere, and if not, I wish you all the best and thank you so very much.”

I test drove this #Fiat #500e #BEV over the weekend. This is the only BEV I’ve seen that isn’t way over-complicated. Unfortunately it sounds like they won’t give me an incredibly cheap lease that others have gotten without a fight.
Even as a car enthusiast who insists on manually selecting gears, I can now see the enthusiasm even gear heads have for EVs.
I’m getting a quote from my insurance, but I’m guessing it’ll be cost prohibitive even if Stellantis can get me good lease terms. And why? Because they have to pay for way over-complicated car repair.

I went to the #LAAutoShow and was surprised a #CorvetteC8 was open to sit in with no one waiting. I got in and closed the door, got some video and got comfortable (and it’s very comfortable).
As I was about to get out, I saw no handles to open the door with — only various buttons I couldn’t identify, many of them low on the door so I couldn’t read them anyway. I asked someone outside to open the door for me, and they tried, but it was locked.
I started to wonder if I was trapped, when I noticed one button had a small lit LED. I pushed it and it went out, and the button next to it then lit its LED. I asked the guy outside to try again, and it opened.
Car manufacturers, handles work perfectly well. The Fiat 500e, even though it’s a #BEV so it should inherently have really stupid features like Teslas and Volvos and KIAs have, has buttons on the inside unfortunately, but it’s easy to find.

I’m surprised how many liberal/progressive voices publish good content on #Substack after CEO #ChrisBest dodged and then crumbled under questioning from #NilayPatel about removing racist content from Substack in April 2023. Maybe no practical alternative exists to Substack? Best is still CEO today.

We might be on the edge of gaining a new sovereign state: the Sovereign State of the #Bektashi Order. If approved (and it has the full support of the Albanian government) it would exist as an enclave of Tirana, the capital of #Albania. It covers an area far smaller than Vatican City.

I only watched five episodes of #TheAcolyte. I thought the quality was pretty good, but (like I felt with Ms. Marvel) I felt like the target audience was far younger than I. Some episodes of #BadBatch and #CloneWars kind of felt that way, but the stories were varied and compelling enough to make me enjoy those whole series. #StarWars

But #ChatGPT 4o says this. Didn’t expect that at all. I think likely because it’s a few months behind on news incidents, IIRC.

“Suffice to say that Donald Trump’s claim that right-to-try is saving the lives of ‘thousands’ of patients is utterly divorced from reality. As a number of news sources have pointed out, for instance, Politico:
‘However, the Right to Try pathway was only used for four drugs last year. In fiscal 2023, the FDA received nearly 2,300 compassionate use requests and allowed most to proceed.’
“In actuality, 99% of expanded access requests had been granted by the FDA in the year prior to the passage of ‘right-to-try.’”

Among the things I *didn’t* expect to find when I arrived at my local muni airport for a little plane spotting: a B-25 Mitchell.

My Lego-like* model of USS Enterprise CV-6. At the Battle of Midway between June 4 and June 7, 1942, its aircraft sank** three of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s best aircraft carriers, and the sister ship USS Yorktown took out the fourth, leaving the rest of the Kido Butai armada limping back to Japan from what was supposed to be certain Japanese victory.
