Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

This, from the Guardian US, was published at 11.00 GMT, when I checked the Guardian again at 12.55 it had already gone. They don't leave anything critical of transphobia up for very long. Unless you saw it in that 1h 55m window, you need to go two layers through the Opinion Section to find it.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

Seriously Europeans, sign this Citizen's Initiative. Games are taken away from us at the whim of publishers when they think they can make more money while keeping the money you've paid for it. The website has an FAQ with most questions answered.

And in Lake Lanier‘s case, they turned it into a vacation haven resort + luxury golf course. Now, with that in mind think back to what Trump said he wanted to do to Gaza and Palestinians The thing about white supremacy is that it and fascists are basically the same and its always been quite global

The anti vax playbook was indistinguishable from the playbook they ran on trans youth healthcare and I'm never going to forget those who carried water for the latter and acted surprised when the former gaoned control of the country.

I agree with Parker here: a significant chunk (if not most) of the leopards-eating-faces stories we are seeing right now are better framed as "the mainstream media knowingly misled their readers/viewers by covering Trump's obviously false campaign statements as though he weren't a pathological liar

We already know that incentivizing EVs can stimulate adoption but in case you wonder about the demand for the other type of EVs aka e-bikes, here are a few numbers: — California: The queue to apply for California’s new e-bike incentive program, which offered 1,500 vouchers, reached 100,000 people.

This right here is why the trans military ban terrifies me. It's why I drank so much the last time Trump tried this in 2017. I'm an anarchist. Fuck the military. Fuck all militaries. But it's terrifying because of what it might be a prelude to.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

A completely preventable tragedy. The biggest 'flaw' with vaccines (the flaw lies with people, but bear with me) is that they work too well. These diseases used to be deadly.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

Sadly, abuse is going on while these AI companies are making billions in profile each year. They have no shame whatsoever. No wonder they don't pay for AI/LLM training data, either. They openly steal data and then say AI will change the world. Here we are now.

I know it can be tedious to see all these political posts, but holy cripes people this is hair-on-fire all-hands-on-deck-time. Call your reps. Make your voice heard, make it personal, and make sure they hear how it affects them via hurting their constituents.

I can’t get over the fact that two separate people did Nazi salutes at CPAC and it’s so normalized at this point that it’s barely even notable on TV news. In any halfway normal era that shit would warrant wall-to-wall coverage.
