“.. Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers .. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access.”

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse.

If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

COVID stimulus and recovery was a staggering macroeconomic achievement and to be honest is the closest thing to a divine miracle we will ever see

we set the entire US economy on low-power mode for a year and somehow turned it back on afterwards

Jerome Powell deserves a Nobel Prize and 72 brides

Here’s the thing folks, Trump didn’t steal the election and everyone knows he’s corrupt. People just are very, very dumb.

Truly, the biggest AI grift is calling it Artificial Intelligence.

this did psychic damage to me

It's pretty much:

Bill: I'm cool with capitalism, I just think it comes with certain ethical obligations

MAGA: literal communism

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

me to my clients in this trying time

only in a country with a political press as terrible as ours could a pair of democratic legislators be assassinated by a reactionary conservative and seven weeks later this double murder has been completely forgotten about

Thank you!

Wait pardon my ignorance but I thought the last job revisions were like from 142k to 19k? These seem bigger, are they new?

I genuinely wonder if thats the case, though. The Greeks were notoriously open to male-male love--though, IIRC, it was more man-boy love specifically--but were also terribly misogynistic.

Reminder that the perpetual crisis in masculinity has a source and it is civilization as such, which intrinsically lowers the wage premium to upper body strength and societal utility of women spending most of their prime working years birthing babies instead upon which the patriarchy is built. :)

remembering when some right wing smear-monger tried to pass off some mildly lewd foot pics as coming from AOC, and the foot fetish subreddit that he posted them on to make them go viral got outraged and were all “just who the hell do you think you are, how DARE you”. oddly wholesome.

Honestly, just as a human being with a sense of empathy, watching someone with barely disguised despondency admit that the basic assumptions of decency she built her life around were false is just… It’s painful to watch.

Genuinely from everything I see on the internet it sounds like it was genuinely bad to be in any of these gifted kid programmes. But I bet if I looked up how they were associated with life outcomes they'd be positively associated with good stuff! In any case mediocrity all the way got me baybeeeeeee

Very possible here that SCOTUS taking up Louisiana v. Callais is a response to the realistic threat that California and New York might retaliate if Texas passes its gerrymander.

There but for the grace of God go I.

Not to draw attention from the feds but some of my friends keep saying they're getting Ceausescu vibes from Trump 2.0.

As a side note: Obviously, the harm these guys do to women is real and major. But they also do harm to men because plugged out dudes whose model of male feminist is “male feminist” (derogatory) are more likely to be vulnerable to rightist subversion.

Yes! You can! You should!

A scandal so brazen the press cannot do it justice if it wants to

Tbh, calling the cops on someone only for the police to be like “Excuse me, sir; their pronouns are they/them,” is an incredible bit.

Since people are talking about the razor thin margins in the restaurant industry, I would like to remind everyone of my bête noir, which is parking minimums for bars and restaurants. Off street parking mandates for places that serve alcohol are basically a subsidy to drunk driving.

The absolutely dominant intellectual project of elite media and punditry for the last decade has been the instance that it's illegitimate to hold moral standards, and it's finally paying off for them.

when i was younger conservatives used to call stuff like this an “entitlement” or “victim” mentality. the response, if this were a nonwhite person, would be “suck it up a d work harder.”

The problem here is that a random Bluesky poster with 5 fake diseases can become the face of the Democratic Party while the actual president can say he's mad that Jeffrey Epstein stole his sex slave and he wants Barack Obama executed and people shrug.

It is true that when you look at the odds stacked against them the performance of the Dems is pretty incredible considering, but that’s also sort of cold comfort when they’re your sole hope. It’s like if a dog that could talk cogently but kept getting references mixed up was also your only lawyer.
