The jurors found the driver to be 67% at fault for the crash, with Tesla to blame for the remaining 33%

BREAKING: Jury finds Tesla liable for a fatal Florida Keys crash, awards $129m in compensatory damages and $200m in punitive damages

The plaintiffs have one more witness, a forensic data specialist, to present tomorrow, and then Tesla will start its defense. The trial is expected to wrap up by the end of next week.

Angulo was also asked on cross examination about the damages he sued McGee for -- medical expenses, pain and suffering, etc. -- and the waterfront property on Duck Key and two boats he now owns. McGee settled both lawsuits for an undisclosed sum.

Tesla's attorney pointed to the lawsuits they both filed against the driver in the crash, George McGee, blaming it on his reckless driving. They answered that those suits were filed before they had information about the Tesla's autopilot and that he had been using it before crashing.

Angulo called the loss of his girlfriend, Naibel Benavides, "devastating" and described the constant pain and PTSD he deals with. Benavides' sister told the jury about the hole left in the family after her sister's death.

Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney. A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a “detainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.

This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings.

“We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher.

I tried but it swam away too quickly! These fish are pretty fast, I can’t keep up.

We saw a shark this morning near the shore just as we were about to get in for our swim! It was small. We gave it a few minutes and then went in and didn’t see it again. It’s not a question but just wanted to share!

Oh boy, just got a “That’s what I’ve been seeing on YouTube.” Followed that up with a Joe Rogan reference.

He is heavily freckled, a redhead and clearly a tourist so I hope for his sake his conspiratorial thinking does not extend to “sunscreen is a hoax” which I’m told has now become a thing on TikTok

“All the future has been written out for us by the billionaire class.”

He is now telling his wife/girlfriend about something reducing oxygen to the brain and I am so sad the seats closer to him are occupied

Katie Ledecky, Gretchen Walsh break world records to cap historic swim meet Katie Ledecky broke her first long-course world record in seven years.

AND I WAS IN THE STANDS TO SEE IT! What an awesome night of swimming.

1. Phelps never seriously swam the 800 at the international level and certainly never held the world record.
2. The world record, held by Zhang Lin, is 7:32.12.
3. The 800 was not an Olympic event for men until Tokyo 2020.

I guess the good news is it got Wiffen’s SCM world record right.

Screenshot of Google AI Overview response to query of 800m freestyle world record: The men’s 800m freestyle world record is 7:31.12, set by Michael Phelps at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This record was achieved during a period when “supersuits” were used in swimming, which may have influenced the time. Daniel Wiffen currently holds the short course world in the 800m freestyle, with a time of 7:20.46.

This technology that is supposed to revolutionize everything still seems to consistently get lots of basic things hilariously wrong
