We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Gone are the days of Windows 95; heading into the year 2024, there's an entirely new "blue screen of death" people apparently need to be watching out for - in their cars.
This week a photo went viral on social media purporting to show a Ford vehicle displaying a "your vehicle cannot be driven" message after a failed software update. "Please call customer support," the screen urges.
A post on one car enthusiast forum questioned the authenticity of the screenshot, stating: "This is going around on Twitter, but I couldn't find any mentions of it here.
Is this even real? The phone number, when Googled doesn't turn up anything official."
One person responded: "That's the message you will see on the rare occasion that an OTA fails. It's a special customer service phone number for dealing with failed OTAs. It's from a user on Reddit, his car has since been fixed and is back to normal FYI."
"If an OTA update fails in such a way that this screen would be necessary, they should automatically revert to the last working state and notify the user," another user posted in response.
"This is essentially a solved problem in the world of computing. I'm sure there's some wrinkles that make it difficult, but it's fundamentally something that they should change their systems to make it impossible," they said
HOLY CRAP! NAACP lawyer came before the Supreme Court and said the quiet part out loud
Janai Nelson said we need race-based districts because: "white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not!"
This is INSANE.

BREAKING: In an insane move, Justice Ketanji Jackson declares we need to draw Congressional districts based on race because black people are like disabled people
"They don't have equal access to the voting system. They're DISABLED!"
This is utter madness. How did she get on the Supreme Court?!
"My, kind of, paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA. Congress passed the ADA against the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people with disabilities...why is that not what's happening here?!"

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says this is only the beginning as the tokenization of everything is underway.
Money, property, and even personal identity will soon exist in digital form.
He calls it a major opportunity for BlackRock, saying the plan is to move beyond traditional financial assets by digitally re-potting them into a new system.

🤖📱 Between empty promises of a billionaire and a social credit system. The “secret” way your behaviour is ranked on X
What is Tweepcred? It’s a reputation system inherited from the days of Twitter, a social credit mechanism built into X, where every like, comment, retweet, or interaction feeds a hidden score. Post the wrong thing, and your reach is throttled, invisible to followers, blocked from the For You Page, and your voice is confined to a digital coffin. The worst part? X won’t even tell us what we’re doing wrong.
Tweepcred was open-sourced two years ago as part of Elon’s big push for “transparency.” The release confirmed what many suspected for over a decade: the system wasn’t neutral. It could be gamified, and it rewarded those who knew how to play it. Industry insiders and large organizations held a massive advantage over individuals, defeating the very purpose of the internet and the cultural revolution that once challenged mass media.

Dear Trump,
We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher.
We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last.
We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers.
Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, ...
