Tesla pushed Tron Ares ads to owners this month. As for Jeep - that was a 'glitch' in name only, as in, someone activated a planned future feature a little too early and the company had to backpedal against the backlash.

Tesla's new in-car Tron ads have sparked a backlash – and I'm worried they're a sign of things to come

You can now turn your Tesla navigation experience into a scene from Tron. But do you really want to?

If it's in there, it's because they are future-proofing the OS in preparation for delivering ads. There are already other OEMs advertising to owners in-car.

It's worth noting that other Google / Android OS implementations from other OEMs do not mention ad preferences in their settings.

This should not be a feature or setting on any vehicle. Ever.

Zack Quaintance - Late pledges open for MACABRE VALLEY! @zackquaintance.bsky.social · 18h

ALRIGHT, so the campaign ends in 2 hrs at 10 p.m. eastern

I know I've been on (and on and on...) about this book, but I really believe it's a great book and it means a lot to me.

And while this is silly, I would be beside myself if we could close this small gap and finish at 400 (!!) backers.

Hundred percent agree on the casting here. I wonder though if she might have been wasted in the lackey role, given that her character pops for her energy.

Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar.

Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him.

Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You.

The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling”

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

Significant pressure here in Canada right now to remove the 100 percent tariff on Chinese vehicles. With each passing month, we have less and less of a domestic industry to protect, and it would open up the Chinese market to Canadian canola.
