i fucking hate these people so much. "i spent the time working, reading and thinking" so you want a train. you want the bus. get on fucking public transit you absolute coward. or are you afraid of being next to god forbid someone poorer than you??
4:54 8 ج . 个 •• shithead tech bro: Today I took my first Waymo ride from Palo Alto to San Francisco and back—a trek I make at least once a week. For years, that commute meant 1 hour of traffic, stress, and constantly doing the mental math of "Is this really worth the drive?" Now it's different. Riding with Waymo made the trip far more comfortable and noticeably safer: smoother driving, better spacing, patient left turns, and no temptation to sneak a look at my phone. I spent the time working, reading, and thinking, instead of white-knuckling 101 or circling for parking in SF. What stood out most is how closely the experience matches Waymo's mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going. You can feel that safety-first bias in how the car handles edge cases and unpredictable drivers. Waymo's mission is to be the world's safest driver, and today I got to feel what that actually means on a real commute. It's a small but real example of how quickly mobility is changing in the Bay Area. The gap between "once in a while" and "part of my regular life" just closed for me— faster than I expected. Curious: who else has started replacing some of their own driving with AVs or other new mobility options? What has your safety and comfort experience been like so far? #Waymo #AutonomousVehicles #FutureOfMobility Home Leave your thoughts here.. D Video My Network Notifications Jobs

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.

If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.

We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

What does an auditor even pretend to do for ICE

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.

"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

It's remarkable how much they have to lie and fabricate shooters as trans people to create their narrative. Fully half this list are not trans people.
A screenshot of a social media post by Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok). The post contains a list of alleged shooters and implies a pattern of "trans violence." The image has been edited with red strikethroughs crossing out several lines, accompanied by the word "**False**" written in red next to the crossed-out items. The list appears as follows: * ~~Trump shooter: Nonbinary~~ (**False**) * Minnesota School Shooter: Trans * Nashville Shooter: Trans * ~~Colorado Springs shooter: Nonbinary~~ (**False**) * Aberdeen shooter: Trans * Denver school shooter: Trans * ~~Iowa school shooter: Trans/genderfluid~~ (**False**) * ~~Charlie Kirk killer: Did it on behalf of trans boyfriend~~ (**False**) The post concludes with the text: "It’s time to have a serious conversation about the epidemic of trans violence." The date stamp on the post reads November 17, 2025.

A closer look at Trump’s apparent struggles to fight off sleep in the Oval Office A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open at a recent event. November 8, 2025 at 12:25 p.m. ESTToday at 12:25 p.m. EST President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday during an announcement event with pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. (Matt McClain/The Washington Post) By Dan Diamond and JM Rieger https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/08/trump-sleeping-oval-office/ The White House denied that Trump was dozing during the Oval Office event and suggested the question was inappropriate. “The President was not sleeping; in fact, he spoke throughout and took many questions from the press during this announcement which represents a historic reduction in prices for Americans on two drugs that help Americans struggling with diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other conditions,” spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/08/trump-sleeping-oval-office/
