Speed kills

The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.

Picking up groceries with an F-150 is like...

...cracking nuts with a sledgehammer or

...making toast with a flamethrower.

Love this ad from the UK.

Amazing: The Boring Company named one of its machines Godot, after a Samuel Beckett character who is always coming soon but never arrives. Another is named Prufrock, also not a reference to someone who gets anywhere very fast. It’s like the whole thing was a joke… 2/2.

To celebrate 1K followers here, something I have been wanting to figure out for a long time: a slippy #Mapbox map with an overlaid #D3 #SVG map synced to it: https://svelte.dev/repl/2578120142f44b32962d67049e975a16?version=3.53.1

This means: Mapbox base layers and controls + all the D3 geo goodness like great circles, geoCircles and curved line interpolations!

Of course, built with #Svelte
