@ferricoxide You're lucky, for the STL metro and southern IL, I have ChargePoint, Circle K, Electrify America, EV Connect, EVgo, Francis Energy and Red E apps.
Yeah, we've got a bunch of random ones around here, too (Shell seems to be popular at places that have grocery stores), but most of the smaller ones seem to have cross-billing agreements. So, while I have a Chargepoint (I've also got a Flex scheduled for install, next month), EVgo, Shell, Blink, EV Connect and Electrify America on my phone, that's mostly for "in case I go on a road trip (I'd used PlugShare to show me what were along my most-frequent road-trip routes). What's within a 5mi radius of my house is mostly EVgo and Shell with several Blink stations that seem to be in the private parking garages of large condo complexes.
Living in Norther Virginia, there's a decent amount of EV and PHEV ownership meaning there's also a decent amount of supporting infrastructure. There's also a good amount of charging infrastructure all the way north on I-95 and even along I-270 and US-11 β¦until you reach the PA/MD line (then it gets real thin with scattered clusters near Gettysburg, Carlisle, Camp Hill/Mechanicsburg and Harrisburg).
Itβs a story as old as law enforcement itself: when protesters start protesting, itβs often the cops who decide itβs time for everything to get violent, rather than those engaged β¦
The image is a four-panel comic strip by Sophie Labelle. In the first panel, two characters are standing outdoors, with one character expressing confusion about watching Charlie Kirk's rally, fundraiser, and funeral. The second panel shows the same character elaborating on the contradiction in Kirk's statements about being open to dialogue and debates while being dogmatic and uncompromising. The third panel features the other character, who explains that such individuals are not interested in exchange or growth, and they claim to meet in the middle but move further away from it. The final panel shows both characters agreeing on a common ground: "Release the Epstein files." The background is a simple outdoor setting with a sky and trees, and the characters are drawn in a cartoonish style.

Rigorously clean-cut, competent on the acoustic guitar and double bass, and seldom dressed in anything more daring than cherry-red blazers, Tom and Dick Smothers looked like the antithesis of nineteen-sixties rebellion.
I think at this point I'd never buy a power bank from Anker, how many have they recalled this year? Might avoid anything rechargeable from them at this point.
The image features a social media post with a caption and an animated meme. The post, by the user "g.o.d.master.mirror," reads: "Just saw somebody call the exaggerated, over-the-top, groupthink hero worship of Charlie Kirk a 'circle Kirk,' and I'm not sure if I'll ever recover." The post has garnered 4.2K likes, 95 comments, 367 shares, and 1K retweets.
The meme below the post shows a scene from the animated series "Futurama." A character with spiky orange hair and a red jacket is seen drinking from a cup, with a surprised expression on his face. Next to him is a robot with a relaxed posture, lounging on a couch. The robot's mouth is open, and a brown liquid is seen being consumed by the character, suggesting a humorous or exaggerated reaction. The background features a red brick wall and a brownish-orange wall, with two black pipes visible.

The image shows an elderly person sitting outdoors, holding a large sign. The sign is white with black text and reads: "FOX NEWS Rich people paying Rich people to tell Middle Class people to blame Poor people." The person is wearing a light-colored quilted jacket and dark gloves, and is seated on a low wall or bench. The background includes trees and a building, suggesting an urban park setting. The image is in sepia tone, giving it a vintage appearance.

Trumpβs legal arguments in a case challenging his deployment of troops to U.S. cities could disable laws banning the military from interfering in elections.
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. #quote by #GeorgeRRMartin
I've got one of these, got it from Ollie's for $5, and seen it on another deal site for... $8.99 I think. I do have to wonder, how sizeable a failure was this product, since there seems to be a ton to unload.
The image is a black and white sequence of four panels featuring a conversation between two characters. The first panel shows a shadowy figure in a suit, gesturing with his hands, with text that reads, "The organization needs a martyr. How do you find a martyr?" The second panel continues with the same figure, now with clenched fists, and the text, "You do not find one, Mr. Vollmer. You choose one." The third panel shows the same figure, with the text, "You take one of no value, and you make him into a symbol. You wrap him in a flag, and you make his death work for you." The fourth panel features a different character, with the text, "Find a man who is of no value while he's alive but who can serve you when he's dead." The background is simple, with a plain wall and a chair visible in the first three panels, while the fourth panel shows a blurred background.

"Portrait of a bush-league FΓΌhrer named Peter Vollmer, a sparse little man who feeds off his self-delusions and finds himself perpetually hungry for want of greatness in his diet. And like some goose-stepping predecessors he searches for something to explain his hunger, and to rationalize why a world passes him by without saluting. That something he looks for and finds is in a sewer. In his own twisted and distorted lexicon he calls it faith, strength, truth. But in just a moment Peter Vollmer will ply his trade on another kind of corner, a strange intersection in a shadowland called the Twilight Zone."
The image is a four-panel cartoon by Sophie Labelle, depicting the life and legacy of Horst Wessel, a young Nazi storm trooper. The first panel shows Wessel as a public speaker, recognized by the Nazi party, with a group of soldiers marching behind him. The second panel illustrates Wessel's death during a fight with communists hired by his landlord. The third panel depicts Goebbels, the Nazi chief propagandist, using Wessel's funeral as a major propaganda event. The final panel shows a modern-day scene with a State Farm building and a movie poster for "Charlie Kirk," suggesting that Wessel is still remembered today.

I'd love to have one, but I doubt they'd meet my needs now, and with me considering a move to Alton in the future, adding around 25 miles to my commute? Yeah, even less so.
The image shows a tweet from a user named "Economic Left" with a timestamp of 14 hours ago. The tweet is from a verified account named "Mario" with the handle "[@]PawLowskiMario" and was posted 18 hours ago. The tweet contains a breaking news claim about the FBI releasing a picture of a transgender boyfriend of Charlie Kirk's killer, who is also described as a "commie." The tweet includes a photo of two individuals. The person on the left has long blue hair and is wearing a red shirt with a yellow hammer and sickle symbol, which is associated with communism. The person on the right is wearing a black bandana with white designs. The background appears to be a dimly lit indoor setting, possibly a bar or club.

The image features a black background with white and yellow text, along with a red rectangle containing white text. The text reads: "Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they donβt want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files." At the bottom, there is a profile picture of a man with the name "Thomas Massie" and the handle "[@]RepThomasMassie" next to it. The image also includes a logo in the bottom right corner with the text "THE RESISTANCE."

The image features a modern building with a reflective glass facade, numbered "2200" above the entrance. In the foreground, there is a large, metallic sculpture with two spherical ends connected by a curved bar, resembling a septum piercing. The sculpture is placed on a gray stone plaza with steps leading up to the building. The surrounding area includes greenery, such as plants and trees, adding a touch of nature to the urban setting. The sky is clear, suggesting a sunny day. The image is accompanied by a tweet from Cedar You ([@]our_decay) that humorously comments on the sculpture, comparing it to a septum piercing.
