There are about 200 Tesla Semis on the road, so 0.5% of the them have already been involved in a fatal incident, which comes out to about 50 per 10,000 vehicles. That’s roughly 14x the general large-truck per-vehicle fatal-crash involvement rate. Spectacular product.

If you’re an organ donor it isn’t enough to check a box on a drivers license: you need to specify in a will what you’re willing to donate and inform your family of this. Organizations for organ donation can get very…pragmatic. Don’t leave it to them vs. who you leave behind; specify while you can.

Lakers Fan Injured By LAPD During NBA Finals Celebrations Receives Historic Multimillion Dollar Payout

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

Now, you all know that Mr. Trump and I rarely agree. However, I believe we should encourage him to continue exploring these kinds of opportunities

Mitch McConnell’s heart attack raises new questions about Joe Biden’s health.

not even kidding the whole reason i eventually watched tracey ullman & then the simpsons is because i knew the artist from his comic strip “life in hell,” about two gay guys & that supreme court ruling & the subsequent comic is why i know the word “sodomy.” that’s how recent that big-ass L was.

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

i am definitely up in my feelings about this one as someone who has survived several severe depressive episodes and grew up with a parent who was hospitalized/away from work for it multiple times he's been working to strip healthcare from people, and I would not be here without the ACA

The bots have caught up to me and stolen the artwork for my trans rights wolfpack shirts. Final nail in the coffin, I was proud of this one, but this’ll be my last restock. Get ‘em while they last or go get a shitty knock off from some bot later I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ aspenhearted.com/shop/p/pre-o...

People are dunking on this (deservedly so) but I looked into the group doing it and it's apparently some 501c3 with almost no web presence and a Substack written by a guy who used to work for Cory Booker. I don't think it's fair to say that the Democratic Party is all in on this specifically.

Political scientists, please remind me: Can sitting senators deny unanimous consent in the senate? Can sitting senators use their existing powers to apply checks on an out-of-control executive? Seems like that would be an excellent, trust-building way to behave if one believed that things are bad.

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

To this day, one of the most unbelievable facts we’ve ever published in @boltsmag.org: Over a 40-year period, *80* percent of death row convictions in Louisiana have ended up getting reversed.

Spray yourself, tuck your pants into your socks, & do frequent tick checks: Deer ticks (& others) carry Powassan virus, which can cause severe neurological issues. 🔹️It's transmitted much faster than Lyme - possibly within just 15 minutes. The longer the... www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

"For days, officials across France have scrambled to cope with the searing heat, shutting down three nuclear reactors after the surrounding cooling waters became too hot..." So much for nuclear as a climate solution.....

this one time we bought this LARGE tray of a variety of pastries. I asked my kid (then 6) which one they wanted to try first. There were 5-6 rows, each its own flavor. They pointed to the leftmost flavor and said “I want to go in order!” and I’ve gotta say I was bursting with pride #AutisticActually

A4: there's too much in my head for this one for me to put it into a post lol. If I could only recommend one thing, it would be the book "Order from Chaos: The Everyday Grind of Staying Organized with Adult ADHD" #AutChat

A3: A place for everything and everything in its place. Routines, checklists, processes, etc that I've developed by trial and error over the years. Knowing what "clean" means to me (I will lose it if there are things left in the kitchen sink, but I care very little that the toilet's dirty). #AutChat

A2: yes, everything! EF challenges like seeing a mess and deciding what "clean" will look like for the available time, breaking that into steps, then the task initiation to start, and the self regulation to not clean more than I decided or go on side quests. Emotional regulation to endure #AutChat

A1: My experience with clutter and cleaning could be the title of my memoir. I feel like it's been one of the most impactful domains on my nearly 50 years of life. It's always been hard for me and I've also always had a desire for order and cleanliness, so I felt enormous shame and #AutChat

Blacksky/bluesky is doing some new things that I don't enjoy, and here's another one: quoted posts don't show the ALT symbol on images that have alt text (as these ones do)

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them

I've unlocked one new fear a day by simply keeping up to date on wedding industry scandals like guys did you know some photographers have started to use generative AI?? like couples are getting photos back with yassified grandparents?? photos they wanted as mementos for when those people are gone?

Good thread on how to make airconditioning less of a vicious cycle for global warming.

Happy Caturday! Here's Biscuit the cat aggressively ignoring me when I tell him it's time to go inside and offer him dried minnow treats.

Also, I think it was the Louisville area that greenlit a prison on the condition that it not have AC. In Louisiana. The reason I'm being SO agro about AC is the more we think of it as a luxury the more people we allow ourselves to exclude it from.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

These cases repeatedly show that, because there are few limits on what police can use Flock for, they are often able to abuse the system for months or years before being caught. www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

Also, on a side note: please don't forget the fact that a lot of Mamdani's ability to do this is because he has very, very good staff too. I have a friend who is on his press team right now, who gave up his higher paying job to work for him, and he's basically always at work.

just finished my design for a shrimp powered air conditioner. now to take a sip of coffee and check out bluesky

Mel Brooks is 100 today. Drop a gif of your favorite of his films to celebrate. (I love you, Mr. Brooks! Happy birthday!!)

Oh, I know this one -- success is getting featured by @banditelli.org tinyview.com/they-can-tal...

This is further reporting on a story I've been working for several months, and includes a whole bunch of information previously nowhere seen including that the LA DA has declined charges against at least two officers embroiled in the Mission Division gang scandal.

When I finally snap, it will be after someone in my weekly all hands meeting negs us all about the "energy in the room" not being upbeat enough for the hundredth time We are not a sales team. We are not customer facing. We don't need to get hyped to listen to a safety message or HR announcement

I sat there for about 5 seconds staring at this exchange and blinking before just busting out laughing. Why do the gods hate the Mets so much?

A common trope in movies and TV I grew up with in the 80s was people whispering the word "cancer" because it was a such a horrifying death sentence that people felt superstitious about saying it out loud There's a reason that feels dated and quaint now

10000?? No, that's too many maniacs

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence. (If you cheat and lean on ambiguity ☎️)

If we took a standard UK terraced street and put AC units on every house, the street would become a hot, humid, mess much hotter than the ambient temperature. This doesn’t bother the yanks because they’re only out of their house for as long as it takes to get into their car. But for us?

I just tape a garbage bag to the back of the ac and then when it's full of heat I drive it to the backyard of someone I don't like and let if out. Cope and seethe sweatcels A/Chads stay winning

Brad Lander is very much the guy who goes way too over the top at Purim and puts on like a full body frog costume with full face paint and I for one am very excited about seeing this kind of goofy Jewish dad representation in Congress

I know this is a big ask but hear me out. what if they tried: having a set of beliefs informed by a thoughtful moral framework. and then they just stuck to them.

what we should NOT be doing, really ever, is taking government action that attempts to find a middle ground on issues with no middle. people can’t have half-rights, pregnancies can’t be half-terminated, wars can’t be half-started. trying to find the center on that sort of thing is nonsense.

I think we need different words for the “meet in the middle on things we will never agree on so nobody’s happy” vision of moderation/bipartisanship (which leads to extremism) and the “we will work on the issues where we have real common ground” version, which leads to the housing affordability bill

yo! quick question mark, why are you on the "potential future stories" list in my research obsidian, filed under "look into this guy" also can you just quickly read this old tweet of yours out loud?
