France outdoing the US in Tesla protests is last week's news. The US is catching up. From the article:

Last week, Tesla charging stations in Boston were set ablaze... Gunshots shattered windows and damaged cars at a Tesla showroom in Oregon...And Colorado authorities arrested a woman accused of tossing Molotov cocktails at Tesla cars parked at a dealership and allegedly spray-painting an expletive at the entrance.

Seems like a leopards face eating scenario.

Definitely a lot further to go, but down 50% since December is still pretty crazy.

He's such a great comedian. He only gets a few minutes a week on The Daily Show, but it doesn't really do much just to show how smart and funny the dude is. I love that he frequently posts full 30 or 40 minute sets on YouTube covering current events.

Did you take an actual Trump speech and replace the original topic with ball kicking? Because that was spot on.

Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.

Still haven't gotten one. Guess the bots don't like me.

Same, but only if I could also stop aging while Serena continues to. I think I might have a chance with 30 years of practice playing against a 73 year old Serena, assuming I get lucky and she breaks a hip.

How many story points is it to get to 2nd base?

My brother is an Air Traffic Controller and we were talking about this earlier. New ATCs have months of training where they get paid terribly and have to live in Oklahoma City. Nowadays they don't even get to choose exactly where they'll work afterwards. There are some classes that graduate and then have to pick between something like working in San Juan or Oakland. And then their pay is also shit for a year or two until they fully qualify.

Could you imagine going to MIT, then saying "yeah I'll take a job that pays $14 an hour training to live in Oklahoma. Then I'll let you roll the dice and send me to live in Southern California and try to live off $36,000 a year. Or you know... I can just go take a job wherever the fuck I want as an MIT grad and get paid 6 figures right out the gate."

The tussle ended with Trump intervening to tell Duffy to hire “geniuses” from MIT as air traffic controllers.

This is the most WTF line in this article.

 

Nineteen Republican attorneys general have called on Costco Wholesale to abandon its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, citing concerns about about discrimination and legal risks

This comes after 98% of the U.S. retailer's shareholders last week voted against a proposal requesting a report on the risks tied to its diversity and inclusion initiatives, pushing back against the growing scrutiny such policies face.
