Someone pointing out Paw Patrol as copaganda really nailed it for me
A Cybertruck owner in Texas is suing Tesla for $1,000,000 in damages for “ grossly negligent conduct” following an accident on a Houston highway that involved the vehicle’s self-driving feature. Here's the dashcam video.
@mjgault.bsky.social has the story: www.404media.co/cybertruck-t...
"But unlike [Renee Good and Alex Pretti], Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."
WTF Grammarly. This is a new, despicable low in a world where "AI" constantly disgusts... Loathsome.
NONE OF THESE AUTHORS GAVE THEIR PERMISSION
I hope Stephen King, NDT, and the estates of the dead authors they're using/exploiting sue the shit out of them

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Remember when FoxIt was a good alternative PDF reader? Fast loading, not bloated?
Now it's bloated as hell, shoving "AI" down our throats, and it just asked me for $130/year to continue to be able to sign documents.
That's the last straw. Can somebody recommend a reader like FoxIt used to be?
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.
Granted this is a HUUUGE area of Medicare fraud. This is the exactly wrong way to deal with it.
The fraud is NOT wheel chairs & prostheses and CPAPs
This is what you do when you just want to harm disabled people because you don't count them as human.
That's why Vance is standing there.
The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news.
These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

▲ Nearby Glasses
Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)
Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.
This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making
This is a really good debate format for like 50 different reasons, but especially at this moment. There's a lot of equivocating over stuff that is not that complicated.
There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.
I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.
Today in "leaving money on the table"
I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
Damn that’s crazy. On a completely unrelated note

Definitely. Plus there are some well documented health benefits from coffee, you'd be missing out on.
There are so many good coffees out there that you're missing out if you think it's only a vehicle for caffeine
