Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.

Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.

ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy

ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100

ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.

"Trump's core rationale for tariffs has been that they would force more factories to open in the U.S. and would generate enough revenue to close federal budget deficits. But that hasn't materialized. Factories continue to shed workers, with 98,000 manufacturing jobs lost during Trump's first full 12 months back in the White House":

In the discussion about the Pentagon's two conditions, Anthropic's refusal to agree to 'any lawful purpose' highlights a deeper concern: the current administration has a track record of violating laws while maintaining a facade of legality.

How Trump’s War in Iran Has Echoes of Putin and Ukraine

The many similarities between the White House’s justification for war in Iran and Russia’s messaging on Ukraine underscore the risks of a vaguely defined, open-ended war.

When he learned that Russians are helping Iranians to kill Americans, Trump blamed the #media for daring to ask about this, while giving his friend Putin a free pass to continue to help killing American soldiers.

Of course this war is illegal. The tariffs are illegal, the renditions are illegal, the camps are illegal, the kidnappings are illegal, the boat attacks are illegal, the vindictive prosecutions are illegal, the shakedowns and extortion are illegal, the layoffs are illegal, the funding cancellations are illegal.

But John Roberts said the only remedy for a criminal Executive is impeachment, so here we are.
