“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

I told you we’d be back

🇺🇸 We, the people, have the power in America. Not kings or dictators. These escalating authoritarian actions are unacceptable. 🇺🇸Join me and patriots across the USA on Saturday to *peacefully* protest rising authoritarianism 📣🪧🗣 #NoKings #PeacefulProtest 🇺🇸 1/8

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Vanilla ISIS and Y’all-Qaeda need to sit the fuck down with the Civil War fantasies. Only a handful of you could run down the street without an inhaler, and you want to be deputized to go help ICE? Clown shit.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Read @pkrugman.bsky.social on Trump’s war on science. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

I wonder what @kkdumez.bsky.social and @matthewboedy.bsky.social think of this?!

Illuminating convo b/w @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @gilduran.com on the bonkers & utterly dystopian ideology behind the technofascist policies that Trump & his billionaire cronies are determined to impose on the US. www.theframelab.org/my-talk-with...

#RightToRepair

The fact that obscure contract clauses prevent our military from repairing our own equipment is an outrage. This week, I questioned Army & Air Force leaders about protecting the basic right to repair & cracking down on corporate abuses of power that waste taxpayer dollars & undermine our readiness.

Pause the video to find out what kind of cat you are. Not a personality test. Just your cat form, as revealed by the universe in its confusion. Science was not involved. This is all based on vibes and zero research. There are 8 cats. Have fun 😸😽🤍

Can the US do this? @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Would be great if @umich.edu was on this list!

Car insurance rates in Michigan are too high. When I talk to my constituents and people around the state, the high cost of car insurance is one of the biggest complaints I hear. That's why I'm proposing to lower rates by 10% and to prohibit rate increases from a lapse in coverage. 1/x
