As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
I wonder if republicans will be as mad this time "that Biden has left the U.S. vulnerable to a disruption of global oil supplies — at a time when Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel are stoking fears of a wider regional war disrupting fuel shipments from the Middle East."
Feels good I think.
I wonder how worried people really are about the charge time. I really have only seen complaints from geeks, and I'm not sure we represent the prime market for this car.

Yea, feels like we could have seen this coming.
It doesn't take much.
CENTCOM: U.S. forces eliminated multiple Iranian naval vessels, March 10, including 16 minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz.

The argument for fossil fuels is ending, but so too is the argument for relying on cars for journeys of under five miles.
Here's some numbers to convince:

Glad that the cyclists were metal.
Why cant the headline blame the driver?
Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.
Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.
We’ve become accepting of pure lies
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

Iranian drone impacting at the Dubai International Airport right next to parking air liners.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Holy shit
If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
That is exactly why Anthropic (and the rest of humanity) we're saying no.
Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?
We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.
It appears we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, most of them children. This is who we are with Trump as president.

BREAKING: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be replaced with GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin, President Trump says.
More fun with the eclipse. This is an image of the moon before the eclipse (8:50 PM PST) and one at mid-eclipse. Both used the same imaging equipment. The first was taken with a 1/8000s exposure, the second is a stack of 20, 0.8s exposures. You can see some libration (rotation). #astrophotography
