Backstory on Tesla's use of non-automotive grade screens, their subsequent failure modes, and the creation of "Dog Mode" to prevent them (but not actual dog death because it originally only held temps to 40 Celsius which is where organ failure starts to take place), here:

Tesla’s Screen Saga Shows Why Automotive Grade Matterswww.thedrive.com Elon Musk bragged that the Model S’s 17 inch screen isn’t automotive grade, but now Tesla and its customers are mired in “replacement hell.”

So the way the IDF chose targets was (1) an AI spat out tens of thousands of names of potential Hamas members; (2) those people's homes were made bombing targets; (3) no one bothered to review any of it or even see if the person was home; (4) the potential for civilian casualties didn't matter.

Jared Kushner tells the press that the federal stockpile of medical equipment is "our stockpile" that isn't meant to be used by states. Text on the HHS website for the Strategic National Stockpile saying it's for states to use in emergencies is then changed to conform to Kushner's take.

"I miss the camaraderie of the Gestapo."

The Supreme Court Stephen Breyer served on handed George W. Bush the White House, gutted the Voting Rights Act, overturned Roe v Wade, and invited corporations to flood our elections with cash. It was a tool wielded by America's political minority to impose their will on the rest of us. As friends!

On my threat assessment list, EMP attacks rank somewhere between “sharks with laser beams attached to their heads” and “dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you” in terms of likelihood of affecting me.

It's been pretty clear for a while that a huge percentage of the US EV market has been driven by elite conspicuous consumption, I just didn't realize this was also the case in markets like Norway. Lots of denial about this out there, and it's not helping the cause of broad EV adoption.

This is really hurting my mind: "more than half of the households owning battery electric vehicles had three or more of these vehicles in 2022" www.nature.com/articles/s43...

One of the most striking things about social media is how it allows us to watch people lose their minds in real time. Imagine seeing a movie you like or a ubiquitous symbol and talking yourself into seething with rage.

i’ve been trying to put my finger on what’s bothering me so much about trump going to NYPD cop’s funeral on long island and making it a tough on crime campaign moment, and i think it’s that it’s a reminder of how many people who don’t live in the city—including many cops!—try to control how we live.
