Last time I had jury duty it was for a Tesla lawsuit. One of the things that came up repeatedly in selection was if you call something Autopilot, folks are gonna think it's autopilot.
Anyone that mentioned that idea were excused.
It's wild they just renamed it to Full Self-Driving.

It remains to be seen what Netflix's plans are for Warner Bros but my money is Netflix just in it for the IP and has no intention on releasing movies theatrically, something they've never been prevented from.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

By poor life choices they mean being a fucking rock star

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE
ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."
