I'm sure X is remarkably friendly if you aren't the target of racial slurs and harassment campaigns. Anyway, I wonder how many "niggers" I'll have to sift through if I start posting there again?

Pet peeve: Cd times area is what matters for efficiency, not just Cd. Companies will brag about low Cd on a bloated SUV and it’ll get reported as something impressive. For EVs the thing I actually care about is miles/kWh at different speeds, which is the result of Cd * A and drivetrain efficiency.
Car and Driver screenshot of the announcement for the new Audi A2 reporting a “low” drag coefficient of 0.24. Incidentally, the car is hideous and way uglier than the old A2.

@repkimschrier.bsky.social I can’t believe you’re still voting with MAGA on stuff like H.R. 4795. And then you turn around and tell constituents how much you’re standing up to Trump. Total disappointment and failure of leadership.

@propublica.org wtf is this. If this is backed up by facts then go research it yourselves. There’s no reason to link to the Daily Caller. Also, I’d prefer you stay in the “research something deeply for months, consult multiple experts” lane and not just try to be sensational.

I have emailed @wadems.org about this awful tactic before. No reply. I won’t give them a cent until they apologize and do better. (I will keep knocking doors to get out the vote so don’t tell me to get off the couch and quit griping.) cc @shasti.bsky.social
A desperate and scammy email from WA Dems with a fake deadline, asking for more money. Fuck this scummy fundraising. Tell people how they can volunteer and do a better job organizing events. Many of the door knocking events I’ve been to have been poorly organized and were announed only a few days in advance.

Too many people have been killed on Seattle’s streets in recent weeks. These tragedies are preventable. Tell Seattle leaders to improve intersection safety, require side guards on large trucks, and prioritize Vision Zero. Take Action: actionnetwork.org/letters/plea...
Side-by-side diagram comparing an intersection before and after daylighting. The “Before Daylighting” illustration shows cars parked close to a crosswalk, blocking a driver’s view of people crossing and reducing visibility. The “After Daylighting” illustration removes parking spaces near the corner and replaces them with a striped no-parking zone, creating a clear line of sight between drivers, pedestrians, and people biking. The diagrams highlight how daylighting improves visibility and safety at intersectionsillustrating a bicycle safety side guard. A person riding a bicycle is shown alongside the truck, with a red panel labeled “Side Guard” covering the space between the front and rear wheels to help prevent cyclists from being pulled underneath the vehicle. The diagram notes a maximum 13.8-inch ground clearance beneath the side guard and indicates the truck bed height is typically 50 inches.

I’m way late to the party but: The “is it fascism yet” debate is so tiring to me. Even worse is the “if you call it fascism too early it’s like the boy who cried wolf” argument.

@ronanfarrow.bsky.social great article but: what does this even mean? They used a large language model chatbot to plan the Maduro raid? The US military has no obvious need for a chatbot with that sort of mission. We got Bin Laden thanks to helicopters and special forces guys with guns.
In 2024, Anthropic partnered with Palantir, one of Silicon Valley’s most hawkish defense contractors, pushing its A.I. model, Claude, directly into the military ecosystem. Anthropic became the only A.I. contractor used in the Pentagon’s most classified settings. Last year, the Pentagon awarded the company a further two-hundred-million-dollar contract. In January, the U.S. military launched a midnight raid that captured the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro. According to the Wall Street Journal, Claude was used in the classified operation.
