Tesla's Supervised Robotaxi launch was a pathetic flop. Tesla's Supervised Robotaxi launched yesterday to much acclaim from the Tesla Cult. Since nobody who was at the event has properly summarized the first day, we thought we would do it. Below are our findings. 🧵

The financial press has to deal with the real world, because their readers get angry if they lose money because they've been lied to. So they deal with facts rather than making up incendiary lies for clicks.

Before anyone uses it, let me get in early: You sound like a MuskBros when you use "rapid unscheduled disassembly" when it comes to these extremely costly and ongoing issues with SpaceX, and are normalizing their bro-culture language. Let's not.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

If I’m in the feeds of any astronomy fans or space cadets, @planetarysociety.bsky.social posted this briefing on the Trump Admin’s cuts to NASA. It’s a 30 min prezo with 60 min Q&A, but worth watching to understand the full impact to science, STEM and the US economy. 1/3 youtu.be/brzs7lNqyYU

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I’m not blogging at all this month (revising the book manuscript), but if I wasn’t on blogging-hiatus, here’s what I’d be writing: (1) An awful lot of centrist pundit-types built their careers in the ‘10s around writing takes that perform well on algorithmic media.

Andor/Rogue One show there’s room for adult themes within the franchise without chasing an R rating. Assuming “vulgar” means sex, Reynolds must’ve pitched something more graphically/gratuitously violent. You can make good R-rated genre content (GoT, etc), but that isn’t what Star Wars is about.

Y'all might know that I've been leading a mission concept since 2022 to—one day—fly a balloon at Venus. It's not clear when we'll be able to propose, but the clever folks at JPL have continued to work on the concept in the background. And a few months ago, they built this new test balloon.
