This is Robert L. Martin. A Tuskegee Airman, he flew 63 and as he liked to joke, "and a half" combat missions in P-51's. Shot down while strafing an oil refinery in Yugoslavia. He was helped by resistance fighters and, after some time in hiding, made his way back to safety in Italy.

In the 1970s, factory robots hammered blue‑collar jobs and made cars cheaper for professionals. Many white‑collar folks shrugged. Now AI threatens office work, making services cheaper for blue‑collar consumers. Same movie, different cast. Fairness means seeing both sides.

This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.

If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin
The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin has only about 30 Model Ys in use. When we compare 60 vehicles to the 500 cars promised just weeks ago, the difference is huge. Tesla will miss its year-end goal by almost 90%.
