Also another example of how, unlike human drivers, Waymo's robots do not learn or pickup clues from other drivers in realtime; making them a particular, peculiar, and persistent hazard in unusual conditions and emergencies where humans w less skill/knowledge succeed by following the lead of others.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

The administration thinks the entire federal budget is one giant slush fund since Congress has abdicated is control of the purse strings.

If yelling at government officials and rejecting their authority justifies tear gassing, I guess I have some ideas for the next Pam Bondi hearing?

I'm awake early. TIME TO BE A PROBLEM.

currently at SNAP dropping off a black cat to get neutered on Friday the 13th. surely nothing bad can come from this.

Just an absolutely massive amount of car for $22k. It's a real shame these weren't US legal. bringatrailer.com/listing/2008...

I endorse the Pak Plan

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

😬😬😬

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

I don't think any of them are on this platform, but the Nights of the Lizard Table gathered tonight to memorialize our dearly departed friend. Hard to believe it's been 8 years and we're all still great friends. She would be overjoyed at the gathering.

There's a singular item on this list that I wouldn't eat unless I was literally forced to at gun point.

If they can denaturalize foreign born citizens, there's nothing stopping them from stripping citizenship from literally anyone. I have friends currently refusing to travel overseas out of fear over this issue.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders, a federal judge ruled Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

Hey remember last year when Hyundai canceled their mega battery plant because ice came in and abducted almost 200 visa'ed contractors into a concentration camp for almost a week? I feel like people forget about that

Here's a link to purchase Brody King's Abolish Ice t-shirts. All proceeds go to the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee edgemenstore.com/products/bro...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner. I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

Last year I bought a disposable camera with a roll of Ilford XP2 inside it, just before I left for an epic trek in the 911 Dakar. I was really selective with using up that roll over the past several months, but finally did last weekend. Here are the pictures. kurtbradley.co/the-black-an...

This is why Congress is broken. They are ALL beholden to the rich, not their constituents.

So the brain worm was a feature, not a... bug.

Maybe the rest of the planet will save us while we attempt to burn it alive

We were a proper country when a mid-life crisis meant an impulsive purchase of a convertible, not a parlay of the under in the Mets game and the date of the second coming of Jesus.

I am reminded of the near-constant incandescent howls of rage from conservatives when Michelle Obama helmed efforts to get healthier food in schools.

You should take a moment to read this whole thread. Unfortunately the people who need to read and internalize it the most aren't in this platform and don't do reflection.

Terrible. The bill now goes to the Senate. Make those calls. 202-224-3121 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Right, I have a week left to make rent, counting today, and that's the first goal. (Second is dealing with various emergencies.) I have 23 different pendants up for grabs, all wrapped and ready to travel: oishiny.etsy.com Go on, grab yourself some magic. #Handmade #DisabledArtist #ShopIndie

Where i live it’s this but in a $200k leased g-wagon while scrolling and making mom-influencer type insta posts.

I really didn’t like the “Americans are busy” excuse floated around in 2024, like it was some kind of cypher on how the country could stumble into obvious calamity. No, Americans aren’t busy. They’re sitting in their cars for hours at school pickup because they don’t like buses. They’re decadent.

There’s a common theme here – tech products marketed to somehow improve your quality of life, but with the deliberate intent of surveillance capitalism lurking underneath the facade.

I am saying without Snark that I’m working on something that in fact, blames Reagan and Gingrich and others for the rise of Trump and for the presence of actual Nazis in the Republican Party - but not in the linear predetermined fashion liberals would prefer.

Wisconsin is the only state where buying beer is a constitutionally protected right.

Absolutely waiting for @funranium.bsky.social take on this.

I always figured 99 Luftballons was supposed to be symbolic, not an actual literal prediction of the end of the world.

In case you’re thinking surely there are some kind of safety protocols in place to use these things on civilian skies before we hand them over the CBP—lol no. bsky.app/profile/tyle...

Like the admin story about “cartel drones” is so suspect that even Cruz and Cornyn are calling bullshit.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

This just gets scarier and dumber the more details come out. No one in their right mind should be giving Border Patrol high power lasers.

New in PN: We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab "Trump’s adulation of Putin could hardly offer a starker warning of just how far he's willing to go, & how much more damage he may be willing to impose, to maintain his grip on power, particularly if — as seems likely — that grip begins to flag"

Having worked on an oil rig: this is what oil extraction and fracking, especially, does to groundwater. When I worked in western Oklahoma, we couldn’t safely drink tap water.

If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

Well, I wanted a One, until the Super One existed. 😍

I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near BaT after 8pm. Currently winning bringatrailer.com/listing/1996...

I used to go to so many movies on the first day. What happened?
