Ha, true.

Is that header picture even one if thr US systems? I could swear I’ve seen that exact image before and it was the UK hyping their DragonFire tests.

Edit: yup, they pictured the wrong system

These are awful. Oversized, overheavy, over-featured status mobiles for the most insufferable people.

Which is exactly why the US will never ever ever allow them. Beaten at their own absurd, shallow game.

While the supercharger network has generally been better than its rivals that’s mostly because its comparatively very simple to build everything from the hardware to the software for a single end user. You can standardise the equipment and software across all your own products, make owners use the app etc.

I expect laying off the supercharger team came after they told him what the cost and workload would be to open up their network. It could be a tantrum. It could be a tactic while he tries to challenge the rulings to open up their network. But if I had to guess, its likely a stalling tactic while cutting costs to keep the stock price high enough for him to sell yet more of his shares.

George Takei is absolutely not our lib. The literal team of desperate Dem campaign libs who have ran his social media even less so.

I wonder if that’s why it hasn’t been working for me today. Regardless, that sucks.

DPRK hanging a big banner over the DMZ that just translates to 9-5, benefits, time off.

Very much so on Otto Dix. I believe they met after the war, either at an art class or gallery, but I can’t remember or immediately find a soruce for that.

There’s a lot of Ludwig Meidner influence too, especially the colourful lanscapes with multiple or contradictory vanishing points. He was an interesting guy too - his artwork was banned by the Nazis in the 30s, some of his work burned, and he fled before the holocaust started in earnest but his work from then and later is haunted by it.

I used to work in Leeds and some of the buildings from the mid-late 1800s are still there. Sadly it’s mostly banks and finance offices now. There are still churches at both ends, but they’re hidden by bigger buildings and aren’t quite straight on down the street like this.

This isn’t related to the paiting, but I believe it was also the first street in Britain to have a traffic light.

I love this, probably because I’m a sucker for that kind of abstract to detailed shift too.

I love this one. I also really like the scale, layering, and light of “Open Landscape” even though it has a very different vibe.
