2 more Waymo robots disobeyed traffic control devices (cones), failing the same road closure task (DDT) differently : Pico & Grand, LA 1st is Wrong Way Waymo (67+) 2nd violated a road closure & drove outside ODD AFAIK, an uncrewed robot/ADS cannot be cited for either bc of a California loophole.

Just watched a Waymo screwup… The road was closed in the direction the car wanted to go, so it just drove past the cones and into oncoming traffic. Once the oncoming traffic went around, it continued down the closed road on the wrong side of the road. Yay, AI! @waymo.bsky.social 1/2

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

Trump is hostile to the Fed’s independence. He wants to bend the central bank to his will. He is willing to threaten officials with criminal prosecution to get his way. We are in dangerous territory. My @nationalreview.bsky.social column. www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-s... #econsky

This is an excellent, informed piece.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

It's sort of astonishing that someone can spend decades running businesses, even incompetently, and still have this child's concept of how economics works.

I remember when our Military wasn't run by a disgraced Fox host and a convicted felon who is beholden to Russia. It was 6 months ago.

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

The People Will Be Heard !!

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget. #HappyPrideMonth

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget: their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse. It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud. Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

So after four months, what did DOGE accomplish? Countless lives at home and abroad shattered & destroyed, along with increased disease, starvation, & death around the world. Oh, and absolutely ZERO impact on the debt & government spending. Zero impact. Well done @elonmusk.

As usual, the GOP isn’t acting in constituents’ best interests to overhaul FEMA. Most major disaster declarations and funding goes to red states. Responders don’t ask if victims are Republican or Democrat. They ask if they’re okay. Now, those responders won’t be around to ask or help.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

HHS says we need to do our own research. OK, lets do this: 1. We'll pay taxes to federal agencies; 2. Agencies hold contests to find the best scientists; 3. Scientists get our money for research on our behalf; 4. Scientists publish the results; 5. We live better because of the work we paid for.

The Worst Person You Know Just Made Some Great Points

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday. By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children. Today, in 2025, that number is *7* And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology. 9/

1. Most of America is not MAGA. Most of America is not the Bernie/AOC left. 2. MAGA is a real threat to decency, democracy & the rule of law. Bernie & AOC are too far left on too many issues. 3. Most of America is center-left/center-right. Most of America is in the big middle.

“The Trump administration is asking us to reimagine America as a country that not only does not value public service but actually torments its public servants,” Elaine Godfrey reports. https://theatln.tc/U64UnPy2

Aaron, Acyn and a few others are irreplaceable in terms of clipping relevant political segments for the rest of us. How they don’t all need therapy is beyond me. It would drive me loco to do what they do everyday.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.
