As I said on my pod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social, one of the main reasons the industry is so vigorously pursuing self-driving is that it frees up the driver's attention, which means you can serve the driver ads. Self-driving cars are going to be ad-mobiles.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

"The ONLY WAY to cut $2.5 trillion in spending is by slashing Social Security, Medicare, and/or Medicaid," the progressive advocacy group Social Security Works (SSW) wrote on social media in response to the slide. "Republicans want to steal our benefits to pay for their billionaire tax cuts."
Call for $2.5 Trillion in Cuts Proves GOP Wants to 'Steal Our Benefits' | Common Dreams
"Nearly 60% of mandatory spending is for Medicare and Social Security," noted one expert. "If they don't touch those, they'd have to cut Medicaid to the bone."

Remembering, as one does, that the last time there was a citywide manhunt the suspect called in his location because he got bored, but then left because the NYPD took too long to get there and was called in by a bodega worker who saw him leaving. The NYPD was busting up a homeless camp a block away.
