In Court: Tyler Habdas is sentenced at 8:30 a.m. by Circuit Judge Terence Perkins in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. A jury in a July trial found Habdas guilty on nine charges involving video voyeurism of his 12-year-old stepdaughter. He faces second and third degree felony charges that together add up to a maximum of 75 years in prison, though his scoresheet will place him at considerably below that number, while the judge retains discretion on the sentence. See: “Jury Finds Man Guilty on 9 Counts in Video Voyeurism of 12-Year-Old Stepdaughter in Her Bathroom.”

Notably: The New York Post maintains a “complete collection of the best Donald Trump New York Post covers.” I don’t know how complete it is, since it starts in 1990. I recall in my high school and college years, when I commuted on the 7 and 6 lines, the Post would come out in the afternoon and Trump’s face would often be underfoot already, back when just about everyone on the train read something, a quarter read the Post in the evening commute, to the extent that it could be read before junking it on the train’s floor. Any Trump headline oozed with sleaze though Trump on the cover of the New York Post was always a tautology, the Post being the essence of sleaze. Long gone were the days when the paper Alexander Hamilton launched in 1801 had (to his Hoboken bloodied grief) was a liberal tabloid, starting in 1829 under William Cullen Bryant: it opposed the Bank of the United States but supported Andrew Jackson, the republic’s first Trumpian type. Then it opposed the other Andrew’s impeachment. By 1967 it was the only afternoon paper left in New York, but then came the Schiff family’s sale, in 1976, to Rupert Murdoch. That was the end of the Post as a newspaper, the beginning of the Post as a roll of sleaze, and the beginning of Rupert’s bromance with Donald Trump, not long afterward. Crime, sex, scandal, gore, no distinction between reporting and the conservative screeds on the editorial page. A natural home for Trump. But it always posted a loss. By 1988, Murdoch had lost $150 million (I’m getting all this from the Kenneth T. Jackson’s fabulous Encyclopedia of New York). He sold it to Peter Kalikow so he could have his Fox News TV empire, but only until 1993, when Murdoch bought it back. Here we are. Still Trump. Still sleaze. Still Murdoch.

Near the end of Donald Trump’s first year in power, for instance, The New York Times reported that, before taking office, he had “told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals.” This Hobbesian view of the presidency—that every single day is a war of all against all—is novel and out of sync with much of the presidential past.”

–From Jon Meacham’s The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels (2018).

    Ford’s EV division COO, Marin Gjaja, told The Cool Down that for was both pivoting to smaller, less expensive EVs and developing a new lithium-iron-phosphate battery line.

    “Our sense,’ Gjaja said, “is the uptake on electric vehicles will be on smaller vehicles over time. That’s where you will see the most acceleration because that’s the group that’s going to be most sensitive to fuel costs.”

    As for the batteries, they are more affordable and durable. Per Gjaja, the LFP batteries are “basically indestructible” and can be handle far more charging cycles that current lithium-ion batteries.

    Make of this what you will. Me? Battery development is so rapid these day that long-term investments in what might be considered accepted battery technology are relatively risky. I don’t see advances in battery aspects slowing down. Investing billions in factories to build today’s widely used liquid-state lithium batteries might be for naught if solid-state batteries come to swamp the sector with cheaper, more powerful, lighter, and more easily chargeable options.

    And it might be that the luxury high-end EV market is saturated with products from more than a dozen manufacturers. The target market for that type of personal transportation is much smaller than the city-car marketplace.
