Vance calls the LA protests an “invasion.” 4 minutes later, Miller calls it an “insurrection.” 29 minutes later, Hegseth threatens to send in Marines. It’s like clockwork. They’ve chomped at the bit for months, waiting for a pretext to declare martial law under the pretext of insurrection/invasion.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

“Firing back”

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

The Elon news cycle is such a firehose that you can work on a story for months and worry that no one read it bc he’s going nuclear on the President or something. ICYMI!

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

We have an official ruling

For comparison when Bloomberg published video this week of a Tesla in fraudulent Full Self-Driving Mode blasting full speed into stopped traffic to kill a woman who was wearing a safety vest, it only shaved like 12 bucks off the share price www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

If this ever happens, it will be due to Martin Eberhard, Tesla's founding CEO and inventor of core tech in Tesla EVs, raising the issue in his lawsuit after Musk ousted him from the co. iirc @plainsite.org made those legal records available + @washingtonpost.com did *outstanding* in-depth reporting.

we made an emergency podcast www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2...

There has been intense pushback to my story about the FSD fatality in Arizona but GROK has my back?!

I picked a great day to be off of work. Can someone please give me the update on Katie Miller and Elon? I saw that Elon stopped following Stephen

There was a ton of BS about Elon Musk having a "cage match" this year but the real Cage Match is with Donald Trump and it's happening right now in real time

New, from me: A Brown student built an AI-powered harassment machine of university staff. When the university investigated (and cleared) him, he was presented as a free speech victim. He became a right-wing celebrity, which was his goal all along. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-to-bec...

🧵: In October, NHTSA announced that it had identified four reports under the standing general order "in which a Tesla vehicle experienced a crash with FSD-Beta or FSD-Supervised engaged." In one of the crashes, the Tesla vehicle fatally struck a pedestrian." static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2024...

BIG doc score by @danahull.bsky.social @bloomberg.com is publishing photos & partial footage of a fatal Tesla crash, which was recorded by the Model Y and downloaded by police, for the 1st time after obtaining the images & video through a public records request www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

it is really weird that tesla simultaneously says "anything that goes wrong with FSD is the fault of the person supervising it" and also: "the technology is perfect." great scoop from @danahull.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

People who follow Tesla closely probably know about the high profile crashes involving Tesla owners Josh Brown and Walter Huang. You should also know about Johna Story, the pedestrian fatally struck in Arizona in 2023. She was 71. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

In October, NHTSA announced an ODI into Tesla’s FSD after four crashes, including a fatality of a pedestrian in Arizona. Wait, what? What pedestrian? Why didn’t we know more about this? Thank you public records 🙌 www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Gripping story from @danahull.bsky.social and Craig Trudell about a fatal Tesla crash -- and why FSD can fail www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Happy Pride!

✈️👀 If people from Harlingen TX will be deported to Venezuela on this 5- stop cross-country route in shackles it will may be approaching 20 hours on the plane in those conditions.

excited for everyone to find out if hurricanes and pandemics actually go away if we shut down the agencies that track them

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues New Jersey's top federal prosecutor after being arrested at immigration detention facility.

No regrets about the harassment or nursing home deaths then

This nod to QAnon cranks has 2019 vibes. A tiresome Schrödinger’s Troll where the goal was to get media to ask if Trump was serious to kick off a cycle of mockery. Obviously he didn’t mean it LITERALLY etc. QAnon feels betrayed by Bongino’s “Epstein didn’t kill himself” comment. Throw ‘em a 🦴.
