Neat! So NZTA confirms that Tesla have no special approval to release "full self-driving" in New Zealand, and that there has been no advice sought or provided regarding whether the product is safe to deploy in New Zealand.
Good luck if you're sharing the road with these things.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.
JD Vance is now using the term "blood libel" to describe criticism of ICE, saying, "The Democrats and the media — because they so hate the idea of a real border — are engaging in a kind of blood libel against ICE agents."

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

It would be inaccurate to say that at least one person is dead because the secretary of health and human services is a conspiracist creep. Partly because 80 Samoan children are also dead because of that fact

So basically they are going to look up how many black people were admitted in a given university and decide whether it’s too many. We all know they aren’t going to look at thousands of schools, so this is really about the Ivies…again.
President Trump is expected to sign a directive mandating universities provide admissions data to prove they are not implementing affirmative action policies, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posts on X.
Trump to require universities to hand over admissions data on race
The move comes after Ivy League universities Columbia and Brown struck settlements that require them to release information about applicants’ race.

We are a few months out, at best, when it will come out that a mexican american citizen died in ICE/CBP while in detention and it will realistically not register as a news event for longer than a few days
4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family.
Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.
