I'm dying over here. This guy says he's created the world's first AI-based call center for actively disrupting and screwing with scammers. Their AI bots are taking live phonecalls at scale and keeping the scammers on the line for hours, and sometimes taunting the scammers. They're tying up entire scam call centers. So entertaining.
Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.
Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.
Historic & inspiring leadership. 
The problem, aside from the product recalls, the fact you can die inside when it catches fire and the doors lock, the substandard programming and the fact they look like the entire genre of vaporwave shit itself in vehicle form, is the fact that at this point it is known the only people who want one are fascists and/or smug dicks with raging compensation issues. This is the truck you buy when you hate yourself and everyone else.

I believe Eric is spot-on about this. It needs to be a committee that can't be disbanded by any POTUS.
Looks like the transatlantic airline business may soon start to experience a significant drop, as tourists, scientists, and business people find out about the recent horror stories about US Immigration procedures.

Having travelled to some pretty dodgy and autocratic places in my life, my advice is not to travel to the US if at all possible.
If you do have to travel there:
1. Make sure your passport has more than 6 months left to run.
2. make sure your visa is absolutely complete and covers you for exactly what you plan to do in the country
3. take ALL social media apps off your phone. If you use your real name on any of your accounts, change it before travelling.
What is the opposite of fascism? Living freely, colorfully, openly. Humanizing. Connecting with others. Gathering. Hoping. Following your dreams. Communing. Nurturing. Refusing despair. Laughing loudly. https://the.ink/p/the-opposite-of-fascism

I was so excited to find out that after being the blue oasis, in a very red neighborhood, for at least the last eight years our neighbors are coming out of their trance.
Our closest, in proximity, neighbors actually apologized to us and said they are sorry for voting the way they did in the last three elections. It seems they have also convinced the ranchers across from us, too.
Our neighborhood is practically purple!
I know sorry isn't enough, but I actually feel a little bit safer now that we aren't completely surrounded.
