A remarkable snapshot of just how much damage Donald Trump's second term has done to British public trust in the US government. (YouGov Blue)

Watch the Tesla supervisor in the front passenger seat of @heydave7's Supervised Robotaxi hit the "Stop in Lane" button when FSD fails to stop for a reversing truck. Elon Musk your defective “Robotaxis” are dangerous and should be banned.

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...

New York City: where apparently it's a grand conspiracy theory when the immigrants are replacing the immigrants that replaced the immigrants that replaced the immigrants that replaced the immigrants that replaced the Native Americans.

This chart tells you everything you need to know about the NYC mayoral race. Everyday New Yorkers vs money.

How on earth did JD Vance have the gall to lecture Europe about ‘free speech’

me: there's no way this day could possibly get any better Ireland:

“His wife, Linet Vartaniann, 37, is a U.S. Citizen. A spokesperson said she is also behind bars and will face federal charges for allegedly harboring her husband and threatening to shoot ICE officers if they entered her home.” “HARBORING HER HUSBAND”

Now the COVID-19 excuse has passed, supplement quacks need to work harder to sell their pills. This one is no exception, a PhD in plant aquatics, or aquaponics and food production, pretending to have medical knowledge. What it is about is selling his Vitamin D pills for monetary gain. 1/10

Trump on Iran's nuclear capabilities: "It's gone for years ... CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They're bad people. They're sick. And what they've done is they've tried to make this unbelievable victory into something less."

These Tesla robotaxi ride videos are indistinguishable from satire. Waiting 30 minutes for a ride that takes 10, countless Waymos passing by, filling the time with wildly misinformed commentary, then getting dropped in the middle of the street, where the car gets stuck. youtu.be/C_pSZv6THfA?...

Mic drop.

For those with a hangover from yesterday's Hannan Day celebrations. Good Morning.

Here are my top 10 summer dogs of all time!

An obvious & imprecise comparison I know, but Londoners will know the gratifying feeling of this exchange with people from outside the city. "HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY ELECT HIM HE'S A LEFT-WING MUSLIM" "We know." "I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A CITY WITH A MUSLIM MAYOR" "Other cities are available."

Seems like a plausible synthesis of this mayoral election and the 2024 Presidential is “paid ads on traditional media have lost almost all salience”.

Early US intel assessment: strikes did not destroy nuclear sites.

Here's the comprehensive thread of Tesla robotaxi launch fail you've been waiting for

SpaceX is coming apart at the seams

WELP

This specific 2016 labor law violation set up Tesla's new paint shop for failure from the start, and Tesla dealt with those problems by systematically violating the Clean Air Act more or less ever since. This happened in Fremont, California, with an elementary school next door. Elon's been bad.

the code of silence that has kept SpaceX's image so squeaky clean is collapsing, and it turns out to be another depraved Elon chaos nightmare www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLoun...

The US Ambassador to Greece.

Oh bloody hell, even The Government is doing clickbait now (it's David Mitchell who's a farmer, not that one)

This is dark

Recently Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta was building an AI data center so large its size would be equivalent to a significant part of Manhattan. What Zuckerberg did not mention was the constructions of 3 new Meta-subsidized, gas power plants www.404media.co/a-black-hole...

A 74-point difference in voting preference between directly abutting generations. The abutt in this scenario is Gen X, btw.

This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Thank you MAGA. Keep sending those donations.
