Even with me at the poker tables in September???

It turns out Tesla’s Cybercab might need to have a steering wheel and pedals after all Tesla’s Cybercab was supposed to be a steering-wheel-less alternative to its affordable mass market car....

A great steering wheel that doesn’t whiff out the window while I’m driving. That is a good idea! Write it down!

Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

quotes from cybertruck owners

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

Seriously what is this supposed to say.

Yes... hahaha YES.

We Interviewed the Guy Who Made Eric Adams’ Bizarre ‘Contraband’ Video Now that the NYC mayoral candidate's incredibly strange, decade-old video is going viral, we unearthed the story of how it got made.

Same, I also reread/force others to read the excellent VICE piece on it www.vice.com/en/article/n...

NYC mayoral history made fun is a true feat that was firmly pulled off yesterday with a 10/10 event that brought a huge number of people of all ages together. Kudos to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the campaign.

This was a lot of fun and incredible to see so many people wanted to participate they ran out of cards

if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing

I mean, I literally have nothing better to do tomorrow

After this review, I’m in but I’d also love to have a HDTGM ep on this to enjoy @paulscheer.com

NYC's new greenway master plan plots world of possibilities to get around city The city's Greater Greenways report lays out a vision for paths that would encircle Manhattan and bridge huge dead zones in Brooklyn and Queens.

I’ve biked around the perimeter of Manhattan and being able to do it without detours and dodging cars would be dreamy.

Two minutes of effort combining video of the president on the roof and Amy Poehler doing a freestyle rap battle on @cbbworld.bsky.social and it makes me laugh every time I watch it.

If you want to feel a real sense of accomplishment, I suggest gettiing your mother to let you clean up her gmail account and mass deleting 11K+ promotional emails in two clicks.

Dotdash Meredith rebrands as People Inc. Dotdash Meredith's rebrand into People Inc. capitalizes on brand equity in a way that its current name does not.

Who could have forseen that a name that rolls off the tongue like dotdash meredith, which sounds like perhaps a site for fans of Dr. Meredith Grey, would be ripe for a rebrand?

Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV The automotive veteran explains why her company can deliver a cheap electric vehicle when others, like Tesla, have failed....

I interviewed Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman this week. She told me why she thinks Slate can actually make a $25K electric truck and that I’d be able to wrap mine in hot pink for $500 sherwood.news/tech/slate-a...

What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend (Fast Company) Gen Z is rethinking retirement—by taking it in mini doses. The rising trend of *micro-retirements* means career professionals are pressing pause for 1-2 weeks every year to avoid burnout and boost well-being. While it's gaining traction (even among non-Gen Z workers), experts warn these breaks could come with long-term financial and career tradeoffs. Is unplugging worth the risk? Here's what to consider before booking your "someday" now.

I never really got how people would be excited that so-and-so went to the same school as them but I must admit I am bizarrely pleased that Mamdani and I went to the same elementary school. (Bank Street, which I absolutely loved every day of as a child, which is also saying something in NYC)

same, man.

Head neck shot of an space alien with a long pointy nose. In this silver age panel, he says, “SUPERMAN, we come from a planet that is centuries ahead of yours in scientific achievement! On our world, all our work, and all our thinking is done for us by machine – – and that has been our downfall!“

that sounds bad? But also like some cole slaws? I do love pickles and salad but this sounds more like a bowl of farts

define “health salad”

Trump has reportedly decided to sell his Tesla This is symbolically bad for Tesla....
