#MotoGP is back. Shakedown test starts today (in under 2 hours). No media allowed, so little live coverage. Couple of Italian outlets there, plus a wrap up at the end of each day.
It's mostly test riders getting parts & bikes ready for next week, plus rookies Toprak and Moreira

All of Musk's claims are bullshit. So much so that his self-driving claims have their own wikipedia page. He makes the claims because #$TSLA is a meme stock, the price is driven by hype, based on speculative future earnings. Which never arrive.

Tesla bet big on Elon Musk. His politics continue to haunt it.
Tesla struggles to regain its footing in the electric vehicle market, hindered by Elon Musk’s political activity, impacting its stock price and performance.

The dog avoided getting any more points on his licence, fortunately, as he already had 9 points from previous offences.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary.
