Local organizers say they have less of a chance at making climate reforms in the majority Black city than Musk does at imposing environmental harms

“There should be no way a $5 billion project can move forward without a single community [meeting],” Pearson said, noting that the decision reinforced the community’s feelings of being ignored and disenfranchised, and confirmed suspicions that official discussions were taking place behind closed doors. “This is literally what corporate colonialism looks like.”

With 25% tariffs on South Korea, maybe The Simpsons will be onshored... and end up looking like Dr Katz

Emails confirm Social Security Administration canceled Maine contracts as political payback in c/[email protected]

Dudek had been a mid-level IT staffer at Social Security before being put on administrative leave for helping Elon Musk’s DOGE team access sensitive databases inside the agency. The Trump administration tapped him to lead the agency after more senior officials refused to cooperate with Musk’s team.

The most fanatically loyal to the Dear Leader, the most contemptuous of both the law and the people, are plucked from mediocrity and placed at the top.

This is America now.

Frankly, my hardware couldn't handle the dumps here. Everything took so long with my CPU at 100% the whole time, I'd only look at the first few and give up. So personally, I'd be happy with dumps there at Codeberg (where I can load as few or as many as I please) with announcements of new additions here. But that's just me.

PS Thanks for this amazing resource. It's getting close to a "Frinkiac" for 30 Rock!

Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis (fuelarc.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/1997571

TL;DR: Self-Driving Teslas Rear-End Motorcyclists, Killing at Least 5

Brevity is the spirit of wit, and I am just not that witty. This is a long article, here is the gist of it:

  • The NHTSA’s self-driving crash data reveals that Tesla’s self-driving technology is, by far, the most dangerous for motorcyclists, with five fatal crashes that we know of.
  • This issue is unique to Tesla. Other self-driving manufacturers have logged zero motorcycle fatalities with the NHTSA in the same time frame.
  • The crashes are overwhelmingly Teslas rear-ending motorcyclists.

Read our full analysis as we go case-by-case and connect the heavily redacted government data to news reports and police documents.

Oh, and read our thoughts about what this means for the robotaxi launch that is slated for Austin in less than 60 days.

How to avoid seeing the same posts over and over again? (lemmy.ca)

Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click "Next" and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I've already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)

It's annoying having to wade through post after post I've already seen.

What I've tried so far:

  • Set main feed to "New" rather than "Active" etc.
  • "Hide this post" when I see it for the third or fourth time

Are there other ways?
