The pro-war propaganda is not sustainable in the modern world. Millennials and Gen Z are seeing right through it and calling it out.

New tests of Tesla Full Self-Driving’s ability to react to pedestrians.

This time the child-sized mannequin is stationary in the middle of the road. FSD v12.3.3 has nearly 10 seconds to see the child, which FSD registers as a person 5 seconds before it runs the child down.

Forcing disabled people to jump through dozens of hoops just to get drugs they need to survive because some abled people abused it is ableism.

BREAKING: Palestinians in the West Bank have begun tearing down Israel’s apartheid wall.

Iran’s counterattack has inspired an uprising.

What's it called when you watch something (or read about it, etc.) & IMMEDIATELY want to make it your entire personality? Like, you watch figure skating and need to start lessons RIGHT NOW, or you watch ATLA for the first time & want to shave your head and learn bagua/tai chi??😬

Just restocked on Readimask, my N95 go-to. Straps=headaches for me b/c of my #EhlersDanlosSyndrome & #CervicalInstability , so having a strapless option keeps me safe without pain. Alliant Biotech gave me a reusable 25% off code to share with you all: EMILY25IZ4VFO

BREAKING: “We are on the cusp of World War III, and the United States’ support for genocide has set the world on fire.”

This is why Israel is an Apartheid state.

bad news, it's looking like everything we've bought and sold for many decades is the most poisonous thing ever

The House and White House just recorded their votes. In November, you'll get yours. These people have to go.

Whoa: the White House is calling the 4th Amendment of the Constitution a threat to National Security. This is a real memo sent out today: the yellow-highlighted sections just translate euphemism ('the Biggs Amendment') to plain language (Biggs' warrant req). (Source below in QT)

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but 'my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff' has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum
