This speaks to that "other half of the equation" I asked about in that other post. Riders and pedestrians (and bicyclists and other drivers, etc.) must all feel/be safe around autonomous vehicles.

Follow-up question, though. Would you cross a "Waymo-only" street without looking up from what you were reading?

Trump wants to go back to a racist name and logo but folks have other ideas.

When I needed a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis & adenomyosis, I was repeatedly denied

Told I โ€œmight want kids.โ€
Told I โ€œmight meet a man who wants kidsโ€

I was left disabled & bed ridden, yet the system continued to try & save my diseased uterus against my will ๐Ÿงต

Pitching a TV show where MAGAts will have to answer basic civics questions in order to retain their American citizenship. Going to start with elected ones.

At a minimum, if you've used stock as collateral, then you've made use of its net current value and should be forced to reconcile the gains as if it had been sold. No more using loans to avoid the gains of selling the stock.

It's not an oligar-chic anything unless it's from the oligar-chic region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling clown show...

Their app has a large help section, but I didn't see a way to provide a suggestion. Not sure how to raise the visibility of this.

@racebannon.bsky.social I wonder if Lyft or Uber might take a suggestion to add a filter to their apps to allow riders to specify things like "not a Tesla"?

Fact Check: Trump post saying US president should be impeached if Dow drops 1,000 points in 2 days isn't real The tweet screenshot read, "If the Dow drops 1,000 points in two days the President should be impeached immediately!"

It looks like this was a fake...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I don't remember the source, but a joke that has stuck with me through the years is "I'm not so worried about the lazy and incompetent as I am about the hyperactive and incompetent."

Seems more relevant these days.

You can also label any landmark with your own name for it.
