Motorsport should be something that everyone can enjoy — but for those with accessibility needs, attending a race can be a nightmare. I spoke to Rachel from Accessible Racing Life about what we can do to become TRULY accessible: deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/what-does-...

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

its the petrol stations that'll do it. when EV sales reach a tipping point it won't be viable to keep them all open. they'll start closing. start closing petrol stations and you're shifting the range anxiety people currently have about EVs onto petrol cars.

Public backlash against ICE climaxed after the January 2026 fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minneapolis. Since then, stealthier arrest operations have fueled enforcement that is quieter but just as ruthless. The 24 hours between the mornings of July 13-14 stand out as exceptionally deadly. 🧵

Oh and there’s a nonzero chance they were programmed to do this to push the issue of the government bringing in AI development in order to help mediate their giant financial problems and gain more power and control. Cool stuff, really. Not at all problematic.

It's a pretty distinct memory, but the Minis aren't here. I'd imagine they all had catastrophic engine failure years ago.

One of the first times I got really cringed out by Radiohead was reading an interview where they admitted that while recording in LA, they all bought Minis with Union Jacks on the roof to drive around in. Of course I can't find any evidence of it now.

The big barriers to EV adoption in the US were price and infrastructure imo. The US was never going to do enough to make EV adoption palatable for liberals or conservatives or whatever. It was DOA.

That 2008 peak was a weird momentary spike IIRC. We’re getting there now and it’ll probably get worse. I’ll take the “gas prices go up over the course of my lifetime” bet.

Rory Carroll @rorycarroll.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Totally. There are peaks and valleys that produce these stories but the trend overall is that prices go up. What I’m saying is that America hasn’t had the wherewithal to solve a problem like electrification/decarbonization for a long, long time.
