  1. Watching a Waymo stuck in the middle of a block party, creating a surreal traffic jam because it can’t figure out how to briefly cross the yellow line to get past the crowd. Now the cops are here. They don’t understand the problem and are yelling at everyone but the car. The future is so stupid

  3. For context, the requirement for an HSI (Hispanic-Serving Institutions) is 25%+ Hispanic or Latino undergraduate full-time. There are over 500 HSIs, including many Research 1 institutions. Congressional appropriations for HSIs in 2024 was over $350 million. This will be devastating for many schools.

  5. To put it bluntly, this is a fucking disaster. For consumers, for small businesses and artists, for everybody. The US is cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and for what?? Even if this gets sorted out or walked back, it’s going to cause a major disruption.

  6. Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
