A bit unfortunate that they got a real hook on this one. Of course, the rules about classified documents are a lot easier to find slip-ups than claims of fraud.

It’s extremely fun and messy. Benicio Del Toro stole the whole show, which was not easy considering the competition.

In LA they’re totally driverless and I think SF too, maybe not all markets though.

Maybe complete self-driving in all circumstances, but in the markets in which they currently operate, there is no human in the car other than the passenger. It’s very advanced.

I tried a Waymo and it was very cool. I felt safe on a short trip, even if it was a little weird not having a driver.

Pure, uncut “firebomb a Walmart.” They’re so angry that people are fighting fascism in a way that isn’t cool.

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

On balance, I hate Brewers more than the Dodgers, but, even if I didn’t, I’d have to admire the chutzpah.

The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.
The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.:

Hegseth: "You would think the Pentagon press corps would be front and center across the board on wanting to give credit to the president for forging this type of peace. Instead, what they want to take about is a policy about them."

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them
