i don’t remember if i ever shared this here, but a while ago i posted a little twitter thread about bats and gas station snacks and some very talented podficcers made a podfic of it! 🎧

[podfic] Jersey Vigilantes Don't Pump Gas by isweedan & reena_jenkins

original thread (text under the cut):

nested tweet reading: ever since i learned gotham is supposed to be in new jersey i can’t get this concept out of my head: [a badly drawn bumper sticker that says “jersey vigilantes don’t pump gas”] / quote tweet reading: the batmobile can’t just slip in and out of a gas station unnoticed. an employee HAS to go fill up the tank. meanwhile the tired night shift cashier knows the various robin eras because they come in to buy different snacks as time goes on.

one night while the manager is out filling *the literal batmobile* the cashier blinks and comes face to face with a child in a leotard and green boots, buying a pack of twizzlers. “thanks!” the first robin calls, somehow vaulting over two rows of shelves on his way out the door.

years later, after a stretch of quiet weeks, a new, curly-haired robin comes in and grabs a bag of flamin hot pepper puffs. the cashier doesn’t even think robin 2 actually likes them, but he looks really satisfied with himself every time he drops them on the counter.

(even after the second robin abruptly stops coming in, the cashier keeps slipping flamin hot pepper puffs onto their order list. no one else ever buys them, but it just—feels like the thing to do, somehow.)

a stretch of months without a robin, oddly tense. then the third robin appears, even smaller than the first two. he slips inside and buys a cup of black coffee and drains it in one go right at the coffee station, nervously eyeing the door like he’s afraid he’ll be caught.

the fourth robin, when she shows up, makes a beeline for the protein bars. finally, the cashier thinks, someone remotely sensible for this line of work. (though maybe not sensible enough—or maybe TOO sensible—because small caffeine robin is back a few months later.)

the fifth robin, when he first appears, approaches the counter. “you will direct me to the best snacks new jersey has to offer,” he tells the cashier.

“uh,” the cashier says. “i like sour patch kids, myself.”

robin 5 nods. “i will take a bag of sour patch children.”

(one night, not much later, red hood strolls through the door. the cashier has lived in gotham for over a decade now; they barely blink, even when nightwing bounds in after him.

“oh, shit, flamin hot pepper puffs,” red hood says. “i haven’t had these in ages.”

“aw, come on,” nightwing says, already holding a pack of twizzlers. “no one else can stand those.”

“why do you think i got them in the first place, dickhead?” red hood says. “to fend off new jersey’s number one snack thief.” and he buys buys every bag in stock.)

I honestly don't think there is greater shonen anime in existence than My Hero Academia seasons 1 & 2. The breakneck speed of the pacing, the MUSIC, the animation, the pure unbridled excitement, the realistic development of everyone's powers especially Izuku's, the emotionality. Shonen is not even my genre typically, but when I think of an anime that captures everything that I think the genre is supposed be I can't think of anything that does it better.

Navigating the Landscape: Best Apps for Electric Vehicle Owners

In the age of smartphones and constant connectivity, electric vehicle (EV) owners have a distinct advantage. There are numerous apps designed to make the EV experience smoother, more efficient, and integrated into the digital lives of users. From finding charging stations to managing vehicle charging schedules, mobile apps are essential tools for today's EV drivers.

The foremost concern for many EV owners is locating charging stations, especially during long trips. Apps like PlugShare and ChargePoint have become indispensable. PlugShare boasts a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive database of charging stations, allowing users to filter by connector type, network, and charging speed.

ChargePoint, which also operates its own network of chargers, gives users real-time information on charger availability and lets them initiate and pay for charging sessions right from their phones.

Battery management is another vital aspect of EV ownership. Apps such as MyGreenCar and EV Range Calculator help drivers to monitor their vehicle’s battery status and predict the range based on current charge, driving habits, and even weather conditions. These apps take the guesswork out of planning trips, ensuring that drivers can reach their destinations without running out of juice.

For Tesla owners, the Tesla app provides a sleek, integrated experience with features such as remote climate control, location tracking, and the ability to check charging progress. It even allows for keyless driving.

For non-Tesla EVs, many manufacturers offer their own apps with similar features, like the NissanConnect for Leaf owners or the OnStar app for the Chevrolet Bolt. Smart charging is an area where apps like JuiceNet and ChargeHub come into play. These platforms offer the ability to schedule charging sessions during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. This not only saves money but also helps to reduce the strain on the electrical grid, contributing to a more sustainable energy consumption pattern. Community interaction and shared experiences are also a key part of the EV lifestyle.

Apps like A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) not only help in planning efficient routes but also allow users to share tips and tricks with the community. For the eco-conscious driver, apps such as Carbon Counter can track the environmental impact of driving an EV as opposed to a gasoline vehicle, offering tangible metrics on CO2 emissions saved.

To address the financial aspect of EV ownership, apps such as EVgo and EVPerks partner with charging networks to offer discounts and loyalty rewards. This can significantly lower the cost of ownership by providing deals on charging, as well as other EV-related products and services.

Lastly, the integration of EVs with smart home ecosystems is growing in sophistication. Apps like Home Connect and SmartCharge allow EVs to communicate with smart home devices, enabling owners to manage their vehicle’s charging alongside their home energy usage.

This level of integration is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an EV owner in a digitally connected world. Whether it’s about practicality, savings, community, or environmental stewardship, there’s an app to enhance every aspect of the electric vehicle experience.

As the EV market evolves, we can only expect this digital ecosystem to grow richer and more integrated, smoothing the journey for EV owners even further.
