Yesterday the Treasury Department clarified that buying a colossal electric pickup truck like the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T qualifies you for a $7,500 federal tax break.

Meanwhile, buying an e-bike still gets you nothing.

What other features of social media should be added to email?

Maybe Microsoft Outlook can add a tip jar to their email client.

I wrote a blog post about how our profession's (and society's) overvaluing of innovation denigrates the critical work of maintenance. "Valuing maintenance" https://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/2022/12/14/valuing-maintenance/ I spent a lot of my career thinking that innovation was the work I should aim for and maintenance was just drudgery. We're socialized to see it that way and it's not only offensive to those in roles focused primarily on maintenance, but dead wrong about which is more important.

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

@PetrichorSquirrel one big rat is easier to buy clothes for and deal with finicky eating. Also no worries about intrarat jealousy. One big rat can go on an airplane in one pet carrier. Could be trained as emotional support animal. Lower vet bills. One big rat can experience lots of attention: read to at night, specialized education, more time at computer. One big rat can potentially have their own bedroom and time to reflect in solitude.

@eearroyo1312 @PetrichorSquirrel I would like a big, snuggly rat. But they must get along with my sweet cat Ansel.
