Waymo Says It Has Nothing to Say After Its Self-Driving Taxi Blocked an Ambulance Responding to a Mass Shooting "Come on! Go!"

“The Google-owned Waymo told outlets that it would not be providing a statement.”

BOTD Mr Ponzi

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

"Her office is also investigating federal agents’ shooting deaths of 37-year-old US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti on 7 and 24 January. And she is “confident” they will be able to pursue charges. Moriarty’s office set up a portal where photos, videos & eyewitness accounts can be uploaded."

An excellent step in the right direction. Here was my primer on state prosecution of federal agents in @newrepublic.com

LFG

1. Good.
2. Why didn't she do this two months ago?

Gotta love how academic books don't earn you money, but LLMs can make money off of stealing them in the aggregate and if you write enough, they can also profit from stealing your personality after you are dead.

Trump went from an obviously fake “No More Forever Wars” to “No! More Forever Wars” pretty fast

An enslaved potter left messages for the future, inscribed in clay Several groups lay claim to artisan David Drake: a museum, a county, and his descendants. His work serves to illuminate America’s fractured past.

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

A Civil War battlefield driving tour map was also flagged for its inclusion of direct quotes about the cause of the war from secession documents and Alexander Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy. The quotes cite slavery as the cause

Quoting secessionists about why they seceded? Outrageous!

We are the consequences We, collectively, are the condition that makes their defeat inevitable.

Another striking and defiant piece by @erikhane.bsky.social writing from besieged Minneapolis.

"I have come to believe something else too: we are the consequences. We, collectively, are the condition that makes their defeat inevitable."

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

Unless those Americans are Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Siding with the Constitution isn't siding with Iran.
