Is Seattle (already back to 2019 traffic) prepared for the massive influx of cars on the road?
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Needless to say, this story is nowhere near the front page of the BBC website despite only being posted 4 hrs ago. So where have the BBC put a story about Farage, an MP who leads a Westminster party and whose seat is in Essex? In the "Wales" news section, obviously

Nigel Farage insisted he has never engaged in 'direct, personal' abuse, following accusations of racism.

Trump, Eric & Junior promised their patriotic ‘Made in the USA’ cell phones would be delivered in Aug to the MAGA rubes. Still no phones, and the ‘Made in USA’ claim had been scrubbed from their website. Scam #1,284. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

It took more than fame for Donald Trump and his sons to build a crypto empire. They got a lot of help from industry insiders, many of whom happened to need a hand from the president.

If the UK elects reform they will prove that that are actually somehow dumber than motherfucking Americans.

Here are just a few of the things the Boring Company may not have wanted to be asked about at an actual “town hall” — instead opting for a virtual audio-only Spaces event about the nashville tunnel they then immediately deleted.

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.

That’s not due process.

‼️ The highly respected senior judge due to hear a challenge to the ban on Palestine Action has been REMOVED without explanation and replaced by a panel of judges.

Government clearly afraid he would rule to remove the ban.
