“Let us keep in our ears the weak voice of Pope Francis that blesses Rome. The Pope who blessed Rome, gave his blessing to the entire world that morning of Easter. Allow me to follow up on that blessing. God loves us. God loves everyone. Evil will not prevail." - Pope Leo XIV

I am distraught. Jim Ledbetter was warm, wonderful generous, a great friend to many, and a great editor and reporter. He's the editor who commissioned the essay that turned into my book, Pound Foolish. He will be missed. I will miss him.
I thought I would be the one to put my alma mater, @StBonaventure on https://t.co/SPUqSkUYIT, but @JustinJBariso beat me to it. https://t.co/RYDueO49BT
THREAD: How to verify images online?
Social media is awash with false or misleading images, some of which get millions of engagements.
So, here's a simple guide on ways you can quickly check the veracity of an image you see on your social media feeds.
Hertz recently blamed EVs for their earnings miss, which EV bears have trumpeted as evidence that EVs suck.
But when you dig a little deeper, you find that about 50% of the Teslas purchased by Hertz were allocated to Uber drivers. Drivers loved the Teslas, but Uber cars that are being used constantly tend to take more damage. They tend to get into crashes more often, especially with random inexperienced drivers who need work.
The issue here isn't that EVs are more likely to crash or need repairs — the higher repair costs were related to the fact that these cars were being used for Uber. Any car model being used for Uber will have more crashes and will need more repairs.
When Hertz realized that Uber drivers were damaging and crashing the cars too often, they reallocated the cars to the normal leisure rental segment — but that caused revenue per day to drop sharply, as they can make more money renting to Uber drivers. $HTZ $TSLA
Emotional addition is the physical dependence on cortisol, adrenaline and other stress hormones that makes someone feel alive or like themselves.
The body needs more and more and more intense emotional states. Stillness and peace becomes uncomfortable.

“That a piece on censorship would get killed in this way—without explanation, but plainly in the interest of political suppression—is, beyond the irony of the matter, a grave indictment of the media response to this critical moment in history.”
