"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them."
To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.
‼️ Last night while you were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a blank check of $70 BILLION dollars to fund ICE (with ZERO reforms added).

worth a read
... and more generally @theverge.com is one of the few outlets I decided it's worth subscribing to. Two thumbs up.
A profound piece for me to read. I'm so glad something like this exists now, but there's part of me that feels immense envy and grief reading this... after all, where was this for me?
I know I post a lot of mutual aid stuff, but it would mean so so much if you could help Finch and its spouse out!
If you send me proof of donation I'll even make you art to match the donation price based on my comm prices!
Please at least share the donation post if you can
Again, this argument would be less disingenuous if Texas hadn't started the redistricting wars and if North Carolina didn't carve up its map in an attempt by Phil Berger to save his political career.
its just us. no one.
please someone be our voice. Ours is so broken and raspy.
Im not okay. Haven't been in decades. Need help.
Receipts. A thorough review of the Times' anti-trans campaign with links galore. Excellent reporting, unlike anything you will find in the Times.
One does not need to be a fan of Chuck Schumer's to see this for the pathetic attempt at fascist intimidation that it is.
The removal of public seating is part of a long process of "designing out crime" which began in the late 60s and in the name of security has morphed into creating hostile and surveillable spaces, to force homeless people and other less economically valuable people from public space.
they're just doing this again. why even bother reporting this.
"a google exec claims"
ok let me stop you right there, vgc. they're lying. they are incentivized to lie to you because there is no penalty to doing so and nobody who writes these pieces seems interested in scrutinizing the lies.
An enlightening video regarding human labour that pretty much every person who has a job, should watch.
Some points raised wouldn't function in our current societies because of how they're structured, but it's obvious that modern work "ethics" are dysfunctional and predatory.

Yeah, sure, "dawn of the dinosaurs," but crocs were evolving in some surprising ways in the Triassic. An unexpected skull from New Mexico reveals one new form that was hiding in plain sight.

when are journalists in the rest of the world going to express a suitable level of outrage over their colleagues being systematically murdered by israel?
This is NOT the solution I had in mind to these problems!!
"An honest relation to power means the direct pursuit of mass politics, not a retreat into hothouse clubhouse cooler-than-thou circlejerks."
A reminder that the supposed absence of partisan valence from the Op-Ed pages he's citing here is their permission structure to print absolute garbage like that petty theft story yesterday under that banner, its not that he's lying and being a dick, its that he thinks all of us are stupid
i knew we would get to boys will be boys as official policy somewhere i just thought it would be tesla

How gay is the USA?
In 2012 there were about 11m LGBTQ ppl in the USA [3.5%]
▪️In 2025 there were about 32.5m LGBTQ ppl in the USA [9.3%]
Amongst Gen Z the % rises to 23.1% in 2025. So in 2100* there will be about 84.5m LGBTQ. The future is a rainbow.
Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman.
Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

12 dead or missing people tangentially related to US military research over idk like 4 years doesn't even come close to how many full on troops drop dead of just "accidents" every year
Mental illness =/= evil. Do my BPD and depression equate to someone like Trump? Obviously not. I wish people would be willing to understand this, unfortunately, many don't want to.
