Autonomous Driving is the future? I think not. The future is autonomous drones. Cars will go the way of the horse and buggy. Autonomous trucks will show up because shipping the weight is cheaper on the ground than in the air. But humans, if we're still around, will be transported in the air.
It's clear that "Defund the Police" back-fired as a political slogan and cause. What about "Disarm ICE". Let's defang them. Pull the guns, pull the chems, pull the abusive use of "non-lethal" weapons that blind protesters. Their only weapon should be a legit Judicial Warrant. No other.

@pivotpod.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @karaswisher.bsky.social Scott and Kara, I'd love to hear what you think of these AI Datacenter SPV funding vehicles. Is getting that level of debt off your books good corporate governance? Doesn't seem like it.

What if we changed city -> police contracts and made it so that the police union was liable for payouts like this, instead of the city. Would it drive change? Accountability? Because I'm not seeing any change now. Reforms are failing to reform behavior.

Re-watching the remake of Total Recall. The one with Colin Farrell. 2 questions? 1) Why is it always raining and dark in dystopian urban movies? 2) We have touch screens and smart refrigerators, why can’t I get the smart “message app” refrigerator featured in the movie?

I think @pkrugman.bsky.social is right, that this potentially is a Liz Truss moment for the US. But since we don't have a parlamentary system the assholes foisting it upon us will not be out of office soon. Our rot goes deeper than old lettuce.

@bsky.app Has a serious problem I think. Every time I post something I get "spam" followers. Bots maybe, phishers, scammers. I don't follow them back, which is probably the trigger, and so far I don't get anything negative. But, it's annoying. Maybe it's just old men who are the prey.

Bash: "The costs of tariffs are paid by American consumers."
