bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

Oh thank goodness, I was just asking this

A headline from one of those rock music websites that derives their entire content from taking single interview lines out of context, writing a headline about them, and then preceding the explanation of that headline with 12 paragraphs of describing the concept of rock stars and how they say stuff sometimes. In this case the headline reads, "Pete Townshend names the band 150 times better than Def Leppard"

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to "transgender and gender non-binary programming" and "the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."

BBC giving immigration the full trans treatment. Anti-trans bias is a cancer on journalistic integrity. You see standards start to slip on trans issues journalism, and then they start to slip more and more in other areas. BBC is just one more example of this.

“Justice involved population” isn’t widely used outside of academia, where it applies to more than just people in prison. But since Andy Beshear hates when euphemisms are used in this area, here’s something for him to work on back home in Kentucky, where deaths in his state prisons have spiked.

Elgin, a former correctional staff member at Kentucky State Reformatory, said she saw firsthand how corrections officers often fail to follow their own trainings and protocols.
She witnessed a few unexpected deaths at the reformatory during her year working there. It was because of how the prison staff and department handled the deaths that she decided to quit, she said.
"They lighten it up," Elgin said of death reporting. "They change the wording and make what happened a little less bad."

"Who they are training, how they are training them, and what (the prisons) are not saying, is a lot of the problems," Elgin said.
Known as an "extraordinary occurrence report," when death or serious injury of an inmate occurs in a Kentucky prison or jail, the department must be notified within 24 hours.
But even in reports filed to the DOC, Elgin says facts can be altered or left out entirely. For example, if staff missed their rounds or ignored medical complaints, a pattern of "deliberate indifference" could turn into a "sudden, unavoidable medical event," she said.

Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming. archive.ph/ZD74X

A screenshot of an article from The Dispatch. The headline reads "Trans Issues Are No Conspiracy," with the subheadline, "The public pays attention to trans issues because trans activists wanted them to." It is categorized under "Society & Culture."

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Why is every headline these days written like a "Jeopardy!" clue

A headline from an article that, in theory, is about reports that the "Community" movie will be filming this year. The headline reads "This controversial sitcom opened to 8.8 million viewers 10 years ago, but was cancelled just as fast." Of course this begs the question "as fast as what??"
