Wired is kicking fucking ass

folks are building lists of all the Tesla robotaxi failures, and it's important to remember that we're talking about a fleet of <20 vehicles, over three days, in one the smallest and easiest geofences possible, based on coverage from 100% fanboy influencers www.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivin...

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

lol they are never going to give us ranked choice again

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Cry more, fash freaks

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

look how much money Cuomo got from the billionaire class compared to how little Zohran Mamdani raised from the people. 36 million to 9 million and Cuomo still lost.

Andrew Cuomo has officially conceded to Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee for Mayor against incumbent Eric Adams. This is a historic win of the Many over the Money. The end of a corrupt dynasty and the rise of a genuine public servant. Let’s win in November!

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on: -free buses -rent freeze -halal cart for $8 instead of $10 -taxing the 1% -no cost childcare -city-owned grocery stores -a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response -building affordable housing -why Cuomo sucks

Wait, this one might be real.

More on what we can expect from techno-fascism, Palantir + Peter Thiel

Oh I have an exciting screenshot for that

the most ringing endorsement for Zohran Mamdani yet get out and vote or risk Trump's rich supporters and now his girlfriend having their pick run our city

david hogg off the top rope on the other site

Last Night: Trump says he expects ceasefire to "last forever". This Morning: "They don't know what the fuck they're doing, do you understand that?!"

The Trump Iran-Israel ceasefire was a lie: Netanyahu has just attacked Tehran. This is so f**€ked up. 😂😅🤣

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

This worked great for Harris

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

this computer is a perfect information machine because it impartially processes all of human knowledge and it's almost perfect. the last step is have my interns rewrite all of human knowledge so it gives the answers my gut tells me are correct.

We tried to warn everyone. The National Guard in California was just a test. Trump’s coming for the other 49.

it's really only a matter of time before we see a video of an ICE agent losing control and executing civilians

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that private equity companies have gotten involved in the daycare business and now we have people calling it socialist daycare if there's any government funding for it.

I would expect the projections for #Superman to go up to $145-155 million by the time opening week rolls around. It's going to be big. The question is whether it can leg out better than BvS. #FilmSky

I didn't realize that there had been a long sustained screaming in my head for 4 years until it suddenly wasn't there anymore. (Welcome back btw)

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

I remember Ezra Klein once saying that social media, especially twitter, allowed people to create extreme personas, which would in turn become their genuine personality if they spent enough time performing said persona on that platform. That remains one of the most cogent explanations for Mike Lee.

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

Baldoni absolutely tried to run the Johnny Depp playbook here. And it's just not working out for him.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

After a single day of considering otherwise, Trump doubles down on his original, deeply unpopular mass deportation policy.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

There’s absolutely no way Hegseth survives this. So embarrassing.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Trump firing Hegseth because his parade sucked shit would be insanely on brand

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.
