Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why donโ€™t we treat them like one? The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

They're killing people.
They're killing communities.
They're killing the planet.

So how are these gigantic tanks still allowed on our roads?

Physical media was better, sounds better and canโ€™t be taken away because someone decided they didnโ€™t want you to have it anymore.

Also, minidiscs were the perfect blend of the audio quality of CDs and the convenience of cassettes, but with even more potential uses.

For the last 5 years, LAPD has received 3x the budget of LAFD.

The department that coordinates these incredible emergency responses, the Emergency Management Department, gets about $4million - less than .1% of LAPDโ€™s budget.

When you talk to people offline about these fires, drop that in.

โ€œIn order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugsโ€ฆ that means if one in 10 U.S. residentsโ€”16 million peopleโ€”asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, itโ€™d cost more than 435 million liters of water.โ€

If you donโ€™t know what this case is:

Woman gets restraining order against violent ex.

He violates it. She calls cops. They donโ€™t come by.

Repeat several times.

Eventually, he murders her and daughters.

Family sues cops, said had obligation to respond and failed.

SCOTUS? โ€œNah, no obligation.โ€
