Imagine distributing a product for CHILDREN that tells them to KILL THEIR PARENTS. You don't have to IMAGINE. The IMAGINEERS at DISNEY have already DONE THIS.

WIRED@wired.com

The entertainment giant hopes to get trust and safety tech, among other IP, from a startup whose chatbots dozens of states allege encouraged minors to self-harm and kill their parents.

I used to run solar system rogue planet simulations using CAD. Sometimes the Earth would be hurled into the sun, but most of the time it was flung into outer space. The fact that this rogue planet is so close is not comforting, but of course we are perfectly safe.

Astronomers have detected weather - clouds coming and going - on a free-floating rogue planet very near us in space! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/watching-t... 🔭 🧪

Unreasonable search is unconstitutional. This is 24/7 surveillance without probable cause, without a warrant and of course, the surveillance is being weaponized.

ZERO Canadian dollars should be invested in any of Musk’s companies as part of pension plans. ZERO Canadian dollars should be spent on any of Musk’s products and services, ESPECIALLY BY GOVERNMENTS.

“The future of Canada will be decided by Canadians, and the priorities of Canadians, the priorities of the people of Quebec,” Carney told reporters in Sherbrooke, Que., on Thursday. globalnews.ca/news/1209282...

With the star moving at 8 percent the speed of light, the time dilation means I would miss even MORE DEADLINES…!!!

You may have heard about the star S301 that divebombs the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. Have you wondered what the sky would look like from that star? I did. Then I did the math and physics to find out, so you don't have to. www.scientificamerican.com/article/this... 🔭🧪

Oh no... does this mean there will be SLIGHTLY LESS CRIMINAL INSIDER BETTING??!??

Canada has always stepped up when the U.S. needed support the most. During the Iran hostage crisis, 6 American diplomats escaped & found refuge in the Canadian Embassy. They were provided with Canadian passports & together with the CIA executed a daring escape plan. Hollywood even made a film (Argo)

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

The “driving over a cliff” analogy perfectly describes having a WORTHLESS PENNY STOCK COMPANY WITH A FAKE 2 TRILLION DOLLAR VALUATION IN OUR RETIREMENT FUNDS!!!

Watch Tesla self-driving v14.3.7 head straight for a wire fence while exiting a parking garage, forcing the driver to disengage to avoid a six-story drop! This is Tesla’s self-driving that Elon Musk calls “a solved problem.” Do you believe him?

Ordinarily, if you are recorded against your will, you can try to leave the area or otherwise resist. But many people are encountering smart glasses for the first time while at their job, especially those who interact with the public. Read more from @miasato.bsky.social: buff.ly/NCRVnoe

Pretty sure you’re not allowed to say “retardant”…

Air tanker scores a direct hit on a fire line in the Hollywood Hills, dumping thousands of liters of retardant as Santa Ana winds threaten to turn dry chaparral into an explosive blaze.

It’s time to DIVEST YOUR INDEX FUNDS that have these companies in their portfolios! This has all of the indications of the WORST SCAM OF ALL TIME. #spacex #tesla #musk

If SpaceX acquires Tesla, Musk can grant himself his “trillion dollar” pay package without hitting any of the targets he was supposed to in order to earn that payout, a WSJ investigation of the deal terms has discovered: www.wsj.com/business/see...

Quick quiz! When you fold a piece of paper in half it gets thicker, right? Well, how many times do you think you'd have to fold one in half until it could reach the moon? Guess! Got a number? Find out if you're right in this here article I wrote: www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-... 🧪🔭

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered the dramatic increase in cyclosporiasis cases. Fox described the parasite but didn't provide additional information. The PBS News Hour included an expert, Dr. Omer Awan, who said cuts to the CDC have made the outbreak much worse.

Oblong “I own a trillion dollars worth of LIES!” Musk will never, ever admit he was wrong so this will happen …never.

The Verge@theverge.com

An upcoming bill would require companies seeking to operate fully autonomous vehicles in New Jersey to use cameras plus two other sensing technologies, most commonly lidar and radar. This would effectively ban Tesla’s camera-only Robotaxi system in NJ unless the company changed its hardware.

Oh look… other companies can also do this. …companies that don’t rely on CRIMINAL FINANCIAL FRAUD TO JACK UP THEIR FAKE STOCK PRICES
