New: They survived a Cybertruck crash. Then a fire killed them. Tesla has marketed its trucks as seemingly impenetrable — bulletproof, with shatter-resistant glass and able to contain blasts. What happens if those same features trap people inside? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...
They survived a Cybertruck crash. An inferno led to a race against time.
In at least a dozen cases since 2019, people have struggled to access or exit Teslas during life-threatening emergencies, fueling lawsuits alleging the company’s futuristic features have caused injuri...

Tesla's Optimus robot clearly doesn't use teleoperation to work because this one looks like its operator takes off his helmet then it falls over ¯\_🙃_/¯

Sometimes society feels like those who haven't been told "no" in their lifetimes lecturing those who haven't been told "yes" in their lifetimes.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The contrast of this with one of the people responsible getting a $1 trillion pay package is too much. What's going on with us? How did we become focused on so few at the expense of so many? EVs existed before Elon and will after Elon. True of rockets. Robots. These people are lost forever though.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Mamdani won as a Muslim man in NYC 24 years after 9/11. This is an INCREDIBLE story. Against many odds. His approach worked for him. Stop trying to coach him now that he's won. He's not a singular approach that will work for all Dems. We get it. The common wisdom wouldn't have worked for him though.

Soak up the amazing victories tonight!
Thanks to everyone who made every single one of those dreams a reality: collectively you sent a message not just to our entire country, but to the world!
Enjoy, exhale, celebrate- and then tomorrow we all have to get right back to work saving our democracy.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

I'm not a regular New Yorker reader and am new to the Isaac Chotiner style of interview, but I'm not a fan. Why does there have to be 1 right opinion that can be expressed? The interview is like some Pyrrhic victory for those that disagree with a woman who has a right to do what she wants.

Presidents’ popularity tends to wane. In his second term Donald Trump’s has fallen faster than that of his recent predecessors.

ICE is the biggest, most violent and most dangerous gang in America now.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It's incredibly sad that we have a President who has been given near absolute power from Congress AND is still crying about the 2020 election. And complaining about cheating while front running financial markets before tariffs. And launching his own crypto. And accepting gifts from other countries.

A very disturbing video has emerged from today’s ICE/CBP operations in Avondale.
An officer pushes a woman to the ground, prompting bystanders to react angrily and throw what appears to be a rock at a moving unmarked vehicle.
This seems to be the new normal in Chicago.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.
They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Chicago’s Little Village this morning.
I can’t begin to describe the devastation ICE is doing to our communities.
Who did they arrest today?
Among others, a high school junior, and a lady who sells eggs.
They are attacking the very fabric that makes our families, and neighborhoods, strong.
