@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen Very informative, as usual.
It's also available at the author's own site, off Substack, for those so inclined: https://davidallengreen.com/2025/05/explaining-a-31-month-sentence-for-a-tweet/
Apropos of several things floating across my TL, I just want to say as somebody who teaches college:
Yes, absolutely, politically conservative students on campus end up feeling uncomfortable in their views, constantly challenged. 100%.
So do leftists.
So do centrists.
So do students who attempt to be apolitical.
Nobody gets to hang out on campus feeling comfortable and cushy in their worldview. That isâŚyou knowâŚkind of the point of the place.

Dear #BBCNews
Maybe people would better understand the criminal sentence if you referred to this as a "violent tweet", not a "racist tweet".
The judge is clear that the sentence was directly tied to her incitement to violence (eg, burning down migrant hotels).

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.
My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
EV drivers are highly responsive to public charging price signals. A 40% price reduction led to a 117% increase in charging demand!
Great findings from a Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) field experiment with Octopus Electroverse:

It's great to see the results of a field trial of dynamic pricing for public charging! Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) worked with charging app provider (or MSP in e-mobility jargon) Octopus Electroverse and tested the response of 110,000 EV drivers to different types of signals. Summary
The direct successor to yesterdayâs Porsche 356 - and this one was popular with the Dutch and German police too - was the 912, which was basically a four-cylinder version of the 911. I was quite excited to see this 912 at the recent #SMMT Test Day, which turned out to be not quite what it seemed. This particular car is an electric conversion (see the black battery box under the raised engine cover). Beautifully executed. (1/2)

The conversion retains the weight distribution of the original car, and is reversible. This car also has a CCS rapid charging port which is a bit unusual on a classic conversion. (2/2)

Electric Classic Cars, another firm who do conversions, do weigh all the bits they take off and put on, to keep the overall weight and distribution the same.
