Thank you to CAESV (Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence) for inviting us to speak to their coalition.

I appreciate this opportunity to […]

please take a moment to appreciate Tesla's epic accomplishment of coming dead last in the auto industry in reliability, despite making relatively expensive cars with a tiny fraction of the moving parts

www.consumerreports.org/cars/which-b...
Consumer Reports reliability ranking by brand, with Lexus, Toyota, and Mazda taking the top three spots, and Ram, Jeep, and Tesla taking the bottom three spots. Tesla's bottom-ranked score of 31 is less than half of Lexus's 77.

JD Vance is such a tool, so clueless. #australia #bondi #uspol #trumpregime
Self serving post from Vice President JD Vance asserting the Australia shooting attack would never have happened if they had our 2nd amendment and armed citizens. Commenters noted this was Australia’s first mass shooting in 30 years when the USA is on track for 300 just this year. Another commenter noted that the Australian shooter was disarmed by a man without a gun.

An Instagram post: A photo of a man wearing glasses looking at the camera. "The last time my daughter Jen and I spoke was Valentines Day during her senior year of high school. She was going to look at a car with an ex-boyfriend. After looking at the car, they took a shortcut through the woods, where he ended up killing her with a shotgun. All of the dreams she had shared with me would not be realized - they were simply memories for me to hold. " Drew Crecente

Today someone sent me a legal document to sign.

Immediately upon opening it, I was greeted with, "Save time! Read the AI summary."

🫩

Did I mention it was a LEGAL document?

🤨

That I was responsible for signing?

🧐

And... they wanted me to trust an AI summary!?!
