Austinites can catch a ride in a Tesla robotaxi come September, Musk says Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X that the limited, invitation-only service that began June 22 will be open to all comers sometime in September.

I know I’ve been very pro Waymo on here, so let me say something on the record: there is no way in hell I am going to step foot in one of these, and you shouldn’t either.

Yeah... I suspect we disagree on the expected impact it will have on *Nashville* affordability, but the exurbs will definitely have less sprawl pressure if there's denser infill available for the rich transplants

I listened to this and Ellis just complained and proposed no alternate solution (because there *is* none)

I'm extremely skeptical of deregulation "solving" gentrification in "trendy" cities like Nashville but in red states it's literally the only lever that exists... so why not pull it?

The story of North Carolina's most hardcore hurricane picture (and its connection to Apollo 11) This image from Hurricane Hazel was taken by a legendary photographer and never seems to go away. So who's the guy in the foreground? Only the guy who made it possible to watch the first moon landing!

I looked into the most hardcore hurricane picture in North Carolina history. See that guy walking in the floodwater in front of that burning house? Turns out he'd go on to be the man who made it possible to watch the first moon landing live on television! www.ncrabbithole.com/p/north-caro...

New York may be the safest big city in America but I think Zohran Mamdani just murdered Andrew Cuomo. And it's all on camera.

Exclusive | White House to Vet Smithsonian Museums to Fit Trump’s Historical Vision Top White House officials will scrutinize exhibitions, internal processes, collections and artist grants ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.

My man.

that's got to be his worst nickname yet - dude has really lost his mojo lately, either due to the senility or maybe his heart's just not in it any more

What Would a Real Friendship With A.I. Look Like? Maybe Like Hers.

🧵Find the journalists you trust, and read/watch/listen to everything they produce, no matter what the topic is.

Normally, I would have skipped over an article about a college student's relationship with a Ninja Turtle-themed chatbot. But when I saw Erika Hayasaki's byline... (1/3)

Bravo to Chapel Hill Public Library. More of this please. www.jns.org/public-libra...

SLATE SLATE Auto | The Customizable EV That Works for You

I'm assuming you've already seen the Bezos take on it www.slate.auto/en

a pickup skinned electric SUV could sell well amongst the suburban "I need a truck for groceries" larpers

Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others?

Similar to KV bridge, maybe a little worse, depending on traffic

It needs a hard barrier and/or more width, and the intersections on Spring are daunting - would still only recommend for seasoned cyclists or quiet times (Woodland is IMO better even without bike lanes, but could be a big detour)
