@TeslaCharging @TeslaCharging this brand new site shows 8 of 12 stalls out of order on the app. I was there maybe 10 min ago and multiple vehicles (including mine) were successfully charging on stalls the app said were down. Worth a check?

Is this a thingvergence (convergence of things)? $GME/WallStreetBets/tendies meets sea shanties. https://t.co/8iD0kuYm8T

Loved hearing @mollywood and @kairyssdal back for #MakeMeSmart economics on tap this week. The raw discussion we needed after the year this week felt like. Wow.
And yes, Kai, the credits/music timing was perfect — made me smile since I wrote in about it ages ago! Well done 😄🎶

@Out_of_Spec @Starbucks Is yours the straight strawberry, or the strawberry lemonade?

@dojogrl Is this akin to “I informed you thusly” instead of “I told you so” à-la Sheldon Cooper/Big Bang Theory?

Possibly the best congratulatory tweet...

This is Major and Champ. They are the dogs of @JoeBiden and @DrBiden. Champ has already been to the White House, but Major hasn’t yet. Champ can’t wait to show him around. Both 14/10 would be an honor to pet

I learned about “doomscrolling” from @mollywood. Happy to know there’s a term for the opposite!

My favorite so far is calling it gleefreshing

After eight months of this pandemic, we finally found President Trump's plan to beat COVID-19. https://t.co/KO4g328Uvr

@LarsBredahl I’ve been living the EV life for a year and a half. Never looking back. Happy to chat or answer any questions!

@Out_of_Spec There are times I think I do, but then still get things wrong. Would love some more education.

[Ben Ross @AskBenRoss]

@jeremyjudkins @elonmusk Agreed. Also, it seems this guy is local to where I live, so it hits close to home and is even scarier that way.

@PodSaveAmerica Can/will states announce # of votes cast in person vs. mail-in? Or just total counts? Have heard arguments of “mail-in votes don’t always need to be counted to call a race” depending on spread of in-person vote results, but curious to see the split esp with the current situation.

[Ben Ross @AskBenRoss]

@Out_of_Spec @ElectrifyAm Missed opportunity — should have at least opened up a browser and brought up your YouTube channel :)

[Ben Ross @AskBenRoss]

@dojogrl Raleigh, NC area. Just sayin’ :)
Good culture, good food, good education, good healthcare. Decent housing prices. But you’ll pretty much need a car.

@Out_of_Spec The part that remains unclear (at least to me) is the duration of outage at specific stations. Is it 12 weeks or 2-3? The 2-3 week frame was “once work begins” — are they pulling them all offline until the work can begin or will they leave them on until absolutely necessary?
