This is, of course, very exciting.

This article is a long read about Tesla's general dodginess, but this paragraph really stood out to me.
When I'm driving, I'm the exact opposite: I assume that all drivers are idiots and that I'm surrounded by threats. I thought that was fairly normal. :D

This chapter took a while to get out the door. It's a bumper-sized issue! Wish I could include stickers or a free chocolate bar like on the front of 1980s comics. simonkjones.substack.com/p/the-last-f...
