Item 1

Go well, Golriz Gahraman. You have always been ready to raise your voice for the most vulnerable, no matter how trenchant the opposition. What the haters are saying does not erase the good you’ve done. I hope you’re able to mend yourself. I hope you’ll get to do more good some day.

Please enjoy a photo of comforting coolness; a little break from the heat.

Item 3

Cheers for your responses to the Trackless Trams. Reader Simon spoke for a number of you when he wrote Noooooooo Dave they’re too heavy bro and pointed me to his own work on the topic. More than fair points. I may have accentuated the positive. My chief point is simply this: given our incapacity to do the large things, ever, maybe modular and scalable, which these fine looking vehicles are, is our last best hope.
