Last month Musk said that he has had “enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”

Are the roving gangs of violent drug addicts in the room with us now? Or do they go to a different school?

Imagine hating your own daughter that much. We need more people like Tennant, less people like Musk and Rowling.

a senior Israeli official [said] that Netanyahu has been feeling more emboldened to strike Iran since Biden’s July 21 decision to drop out of the 2024 US presidential race.

STOP SENDING ARMS TO ISRAEL! Seriously. If we stopped sending arms today, Israel still has enough ammo to slaughter Palestinians for another 8 months. Stopping arms sales wouldn't hinder the Israelis' war, but it might give enough pause to help Palestinian peace.

He was counting on the audience to yell over Kamala when she talked, and Faux to have mysterious technical issues when it came time for his mike to be muted.

Although the problem is with the hood latch, as with many Tesla safety recalls, the problem can be fixed with an over-the-air software patch. The new software is able to detect if the hood is open and, if so, will display a warning to the driver to alert them to stop their vehicle and secure the hood.

Patching the software isn't a "fix". Changing out the hood latch so it doesn't come open while driving is a fix.

You're already doing their work for them by calling them "rioters", it was a fucking insurrection.

conservatives bullied the company for its inclusive policies for close to three weeks

That's been a general movement away from rural America for decades (and people have been leaving the countryside to make their fortune in the big city for centuries). However, this line stood out to me because of the timeframe cited:

A whopping 81 percent of rural counties had more deaths than births between 2019 and 2023.

Maybe I'm just still bitter, but maybe they should have tried social distancing, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated.

"I've already sold everything but my house," Jones said on June 7. "I'm down to my last moves on this."

Then dance harder, ugly monkey, dance harder.

Fucking finally. Also, lmao, the article points out that Kushner failed to pass scrutiny a security clearance. Iirc, that was because they said he was a clear security risk, and the only reason he ended up with a clearance was his father in law gave him one.

Price increases happen overnight, or with everything tracked and digitized, this could lead supermarkets to charge more money right when demand spikes or maybe in the future even target particular shoppers willing to pay more.

They're going to take your frequent shopper card and figure out what your price point for different goods are. Then they're going to take their tracking of your cellphone and figure out when you're approaching your favorite goods, to raise the price. The technology for everything part of this already exists and is being used, it's just a question of who links everything up first.
