Warning sounds at slow speeds are a federal requirement for EVs and hybrids. I only really hear it when I'm going through a drive-through and I'm right next to the building and my window is down. Mine makes a sound like what I imagine Luke Skywalker's landspeeder makes while idling.

I actually call sport mode on the Ioniq 5 "Tie Fighter Mode". Even the animation when it changes to that mode is aggressive.

This car is insane. It does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The crazy thing is, EVs do all this with no extra effort. It's just as smooth going 90 as it is going 20.

On one hand, I know it's wrong, but on the other hand, it kind of feels like that guy earned that money fair and square.

Off-the-shelf CO2? These dorks are losing their edge.

Normally somebody would have an a16z-backed startup selling a $99/month subscription CO2 called DIOX or some shit before posting about the grift.

Sometimes I think about how Trump just does whatever the fuck he wants — an ability which he could easily use to make everyone across the political spectrum love him. Nobody would give a shit about tearing down the White House if he also waved a magic wand and said everybody gets healthcare now.

When you get down to it, Sliwa sucks, but he's an entertaining Classic New York weirdo. We could use more of them, just not in elected office. In a universe where Comey isn't a complete dipshit, we might all be laughing at all the AI shit that senile old crank Donald Trump is still tweeting in 2025.

I hope some exit polls will tell us if Sliwa overperforms due to people who hate Cuomo enough to vote against him but can't bring themselves to vote for Zohran.

It’s shitty to take a screenshot from a news article and not link to it.

It’s simply fucking lazy to not also copy the text you just screenshotted and paste it in as the alt text.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

People seem to have completely forgotten that not terribly long ago, Walmart was literally selling a T-shirt with it. www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna15702...

Wal-Mart pulls T-shirts with Nazi skull logo

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is pulling a skull-and-crossbones T-shirt from its shelves after a Maryland blogger complained that the image was identical to a Nazi SS emblem from World War II.

I say go for it. While you're at it, build yourself something opulent — say a ballroom or maybe a promenade — because you put up with a lot and deserve nice things.

That’s right AI is ushering in the wonderful age of human utopia: working 72 hours a week for a pervert

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 6d

The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week

Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.
