Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out!

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout.
With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections.

Not just love, actually: why romance fiction is booming
From Emily Henry to Rebecca Yarros and Alison Espach’s The Wedding People – romance has dominated the book charts this year. So why is it still dismissed by critics?

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and city council have done an end-run around Premier Doug Ford's anti-bike lane law. A new bylaw passed today allows the city to build a suite of new bike lanes that won't run afoul of the provincial rules.
Toronto finds path forward for bike lanes without breaking Ford government rules
City council has approved 20 kilometres of new bike lanes, which will be built without the removal of vehicle lanes, making them legal under the Ford government's Bill 60.

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.
