Tesla's Full-Self Driving software is now under federal investigation, including its behavior at train crossings, after an NBC News investigation.

In September, NBC News found that Tesla owners repeatedly complained about Teslas failing to detect oncoming trains.

Earlier today, prosecutors dismissed the felony charges against Paul Ivery, the man being arrested in this video.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

As I've said before, FDA recalls are broad for even the suspicion of contamination. This is what they're supposed to do and it's a thankless task. The goal isn't to terrify people, but you need those things off the shelf.

I'm glad Paris put this round up together for folks. Been waiting for it.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Proponents say age verification = showing your ID at the door to a bar.

But the analogy is often wrong.

It's more like: bouncer photocopies some IDs, & keeps them in a shed around back.

There will be more breaches.

Anyone got one of these in foil? It’s the last thing I need to fully foil my Sagas deck…

The Girl in the Fireplace
{2}{W}
Enchantment — Saga
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Create a 1/1 white Human Noble creature token with vanishing 3 and “Prevent all damage that would be dealt to this token.”
II — Create a 2/2 white Horse creature token with “Doctors you control have horsemanship.” (They can’t be blocked except by creatures with horsemanship.)
III — Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player this turn, time travel.

As a former shop keep, I always feel bad for taking free things from small businesses. Even though I used to give away things all the time. 🤷‍♂️
