I am sorely tempted to put down a deposit on a Telo myself lol

Rivian Releases Q1 2026 Production and Delivery Figures - Newsroom - Rivian Rivian Releases Q1 Production and Delivery Figures Q1 2026 Results

Rivian sales are up 20 percent last quarter despite no tax credit. I think a lot of people are looking hard at EVs right now rivian.com/newsroom/art...

Despite EV headwinds, Rivian’s sales are up Rivian is making and selling more cars than it did a year ago.

I’m also pretty convinced that beyond a year or so the climate effects are going to be strongly positive. Trump might have saved the US EV industry too www.theverge.com/transportati...

This is a very important lesson

I Have a Sister Souljah Moment for Rahm Emanuel Rahm Emanuel's political legacy faces scrutiny in Aaron Kleinman's analysis of Democratic party strategy and leadership in state politics.

My newsletter is out and it's about Rahm Emanuel's search for a Sister Souljah moment. I have a pretty good one for him, but he's not going to like it radio-free-america.beehiiv.com/p/i-have-a-s...

it totally sucks. meanwhile if men do any child care they get praised to the rafters, it's ridiculous

that's great lol

I would 100 percent call it that

The Places with the Most (and Least) Police Shootings in America - Priceonomics The places where there are more (and less) police shootings than models based on how dangerous the cities are would predict.

How Did Elon Musk Turn Grok Into MechaHitler? - The American Prospect The malfunctioning xAI chatbot provides some insights into how large language models work.

what I find fascinating is that negative traits are correlated within LLMs--train it to write insecure code, and it becomes evil prospect.org/2025/07/17/2...

I have a similar reaction to the dudes I know who leverage that kind of attitude to treat their wives like shit--making them do all the childcare and housework, etc. man, you're gonna end up divorced and alone, and you're gonna deserve it

The Far-Right Cash Machine - The American Prospect There’s money in bigotry, and specialized crowdfunding platforms are where to get it.

The US conservative movement has established an informal nationwide network whereby, if you do something horrible or crude or violent or racist,& face some accountability ... they will crowdfund for you & make you rich.

Very explicitly encouraging & rewarding shitty anti-social behavior.

yeah, exactly. very sexist, but not this kind of hyper-online madness

like I keep saying, American cops are more like gangsters than actual police. and the NYPD is quite a bit better than the US average

thinking it over it probably makes more sense now than it has in a long time, given how insanely expensive child care is in a lot of places

that's what gets my goat about all the 1950s nostalgia, even back in those (admittedly bad in many ways) days you weren't supposed to be a giant asshole to your wife! quite the contrary!!

hey congrats!

I mean I know people who do it! with child care costs going ever up and up it often kind of makes financial sense. it just basically requires a supportive partner, it's not the fake ass lifestyle bullshit influencers are selling

we live in weird times

"you wanna stay at home and raise the kids? well honey, that's not exactly what I was imagining, but it's your life, and I'm here for you. we'll make it work"

vs some Fuentes addict boiling over with misogyny and paranoia. most guys like that can't even get sufficiently high paying jobs

amusing that the women who want this kind of lifestyle--who apparently do exist here and there--would be well advised to find a regular ass lib dude

When Pam Bondi Protected Foreclosure Fraudsters - The American Prospect The new attorney general nominee, while serving as AG of Florida, fired the first two prosecutors to investigate the use of false evidence to kick people out of their homes.

It's hard to have amassed a worse record as a public official and a human being than Pam Bondi over the past 15 years. I have big "the food is sure great at this funeral" vibes

well they still got attacked though, while North Korea has not

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

it’s like a couple dozen so far. the formal system isn’t set up yet but they are clearly going for it

headline next year: China invades EU to force them to accept global reserve currency obligations

I'll give Trump this, I didn't think he'd make this happen!

and these taxes are being paid either in something that directly undermines our precious petrodollar system, or the Computer Crime Money that Trump got legalized so he could profit from it personally. fucking *awesome*
