“Elon Musk’s The Boring Company, which touts itself as a futuristic quick-build tunnel solution, could have the capability to build a Wellington tunnel”

Please no. We have enough compounded nightmare scenarios already.

acute_distress,

@tcnicholls The Boring Company is a scam to derail high speed rail.

Memo to eugenics death cultist David Seymour: The pandemic has not "largely subsided" and we reserve the right to keep kids home from schools where the risk management protocols are unacceptably low.

Normalise masking and fund air filtration, you ghoul.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Like, it can be simultaneously true that life under centrist democratic rulers has been getting more miserable for the last few years, and also that Russia is running a propaganda campaign to make you feel worse about that so you won't vote for them and let the fascists take over instead.

acute_distress,

@nicklockwood it’s not (only) the Russians. It’s American conservative billionaires

My story about how telematics data from people's cars unexpectedly raised their insurance rates is on the front page today...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b00.DzhQ.GXkvg-kgWebx&smid=url-share

... and this is where it started: me lurking on car forums and seeing comments like this.

If this story doesn't convince lawmakers we need a strong federal privacy law, I'm not sure what will.

@maximweinstein @kashhill insurance companies will lobby the govt so it won’t happen

If I knew I'd get to listen to the Flying Burrito Brothers through the sky while happily maintaining my machine that can make anything, I would have taken better care of myself.
