  • So this is how the Republicans are normalizing pedophilia. There are too many Republicans (and donors to them) to put away (given the ‘rich people don’t generally get punished for crimes’ axiom we live with), so they slow-roll the whole thing to “frog-boil” the masses into simply accepting that rich people sexually exploit children, and it’s been going on for a very long time…and that nothing is ultimately going to be done about it. If our president was one of the most active visitors, and he was still elected despite that information–i guess it can be argued we’ve already crossed that line.







  • Gotta love this whole schtick, “oopsie! We weren’t careful enough with your personal info–here’s a voucher for free protection after the fact, because we failed to provide it to you when it mattered” (with the connotation that you should have taken them up on that free protection last time a corp accidentally shared your personal data with the world, and perhaps you wouldn’t be in this mess!)

    …and that’s it! Business as usual after nearly a million people have their personal info compromised. As long as this is the punishment, it’s simply a business expense at worst.






  • I found this part to be even more alarming:

    All of the Robotaxi crashes so far have occurred with human safety monitors—who have been trained to take control of the car in the event of a software error—present in the vehicles.

    This is significant because, as TechCrunch reported on Monday, Tesla is starting to send out its Robotaxi fleet without safety monitors.

    So despite a pitiful record with people trying to correct the cars mistakes, they’re now ready to move on to running them without assistance?!? I am furious at the idea that our safety on the roads is this negotiable.
