Interesting data (from Waymo) showing that robotaxis are significantly safer than the average human driver. This is likely because they respect traffic rules. An NYT op-ed by a neurosurgeon calls for a broader adoption as a public health measure. Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

I wonder is there any connection between these two pictures? I’ve travelled frequently on Ryanair with this bag but today this was deemed too big. Eventually got air out so that it met their bar so didn’t have to pay the €75, and thanks to the staff for that, but it was a poor customer experience.
