In recent years, Florida has sat on a pot of nearly $200 million it received from the federal government to add more EV chargers near highways. Even as most other states moved ahead with the program created by the bipartisan infrastructure law Congress passed in 2021, Florida lagged behind, frustrating EV advocates and gas stations that wanted to help build the chargers.

Now, the state is using that money for eVTOL projects, like an “Aerial Highway Network” that includes ports for the aircraft to charge, take off and land, according to documents obtained by the Miami Herald. It’s unclear if that’s the same project as the test track advancements DeSantis touted Monday.

Oh cool, they're doing it just to give a middle finger to EVs.

I largely enjoyed this movie, even if the ending felt tonely divorced from the central message being told through it. From the discourse I've seen online over it though, I was very much in the minority.

RTGame on YouTube has started doing a yearly watch-along of the major game conferences of 20 years ago. Xbox of 2005/2006 also had "1 billion" as a goal back then- they seriously claimed to be able to sell a billion Xbox 360s way back in the day.

(Also, obligatorily "-and Mario will never start shooting hookers." Nintendo was crazy back then.)

That last example is from the original Fallout game, which came out in the late 90s, not the 2020s.

Can't remember the title, but an early season Voyager one where Janeway's on a planet and helps/is helped by an old guy that thinks she's his daughter while on a planet full of fascists.

Last September, Fishback admitted to sharing confidential company information with people outside the firm at least 33 times, maintaining an undisclosed personal trading account, and engaging a college student in a campaign to discredit Greenlight's founder, David Einhorn, according to a joint court filing from the company and Fishback.

Fishback agreed to return any confidential information in his possession, delete any copies and pay legal costs, the filing said.

In 2022, the Broward County School District cut ties with Fishback and Incubate Debate after he was alleged to have an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old student, NBC News reported. He was 27 at the time. A judge denied her petition for protection and Fishback has denied all wrongdoing.

On the campaign trail, Fishback raised eyebrows when he said he joined Tinder to meet young female voters and then asked for donations to subscribe to Tinder Plus.

Fishback has also posted questionable comments about current gubernatorial frontrunner U.S. Rep Byron Donalds, who is Black. In one X post he said, "By’rone wants to turn Florida into a Section 8 ghetto." In another post he suggested Donalds was a "slave" to his political donors.

God, the guy pulls off the GOP hat trick: insider trading, racism, and having a thing for underage girls.

Ranma 1/2. From a strict reading of the material, Ranma is not himself trans (he insists he's a guy even when in female form), but someone that changes bodies from male to female on a regular basis understandably resonants with a lot of trans people.
