A growing negative sentiment around Tesla is driving a mass exodus of customers to rival EV brands, including BYD and Lucid Motors.
At least 40% of staff got layoff notices and many were turned away at the front door Tuesday when they showed up for work at the Administration for Community Living, or ACL, which coordinates federal policy on aging and disability. That's according to the agency's former director under the Biden Administration, Alison Barkoff, who says she talked to multiple members of her former staff.
The agency funds programs that run senior centers and distribute 216 million meals a year to older and disabled people through the Meals on Wheels program.

Ooof. I should have known and blurred out their name. Or at least, just assume anyone on Twitter is a Nazi apologist.
After their first trilateral economic meeting in over five years, China, Japan and South Korea vowed to strengthen their trading ties.
On Saturday, top trade officials from Japan, South Korea and China held their first trilateral economic dialogue in over five years, before stating their intention to enhance economic and trade cooperation with a view to signing a "free, fair, comprehensive, high-quality and mutually beneficial" free trade agreement in the near future.
Why It Matters
The agreement between three of Asia's largest economies comes as countries brace for the impact of Trump's tariffs, set to impact numerous sectors and nations across the continent and worldwide. The timing suggests that the president's overhaul of America's trading practices, while intended to rehome manufacturing in the U.S. and amend historic trade imbalances, could have the secondary effect of fostering closer cooperation between America's allies and those conventionally considered its economic rivals.

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn't exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.
The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.
And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don't be surprised when we are fucked.
ChatGPT’s political responses have changed, according to a new study—earlier versions leaned left-libertarian, while newer versions show a rightward shift.
An examination of a large number of ChatGPT responses found that the model consistently exhibits values aligned with the libertarian-left segment of the political spectrum. However, newer versions of ChatGPT show a noticeable shift toward the political right. The paper was published in Humanities & Social Sciences Communications.
Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence systems trained to understand and generate human language. They learn from massive datasets that include books, articles, websites, and other text sources. By identifying patterns in these data, LLMs can answer questions, write essays, translate languages, and more. Although they don’t think or understand like humans, they predict the most likely words based on context.
Often, the responses generated by LLMs reflect certain political views. While LLMs do not possess personal political beliefs, their outputs can mirror patterns found in the data they were trained on. Since much of that data originates from the internet, news media, books, and social media, it can contain political biases. As a result, an LLM’s answers may lean liberal or conservative depending on the topic. This doesn’t mean the model “believes” anything—it simply predicts words based on previous patterns. Additionally, the way a question is phrased can influence how politically slanted the answer appears.
(Fox 25 Houston) — In a resurfaced video from 2024, pastor and gospel singer Marvin Sapp is being criticized by the internet after he told ushers of the church to close the doors and challenged those at a convention to donate $40,000. In July 2024, Marvin Sapp preached at the 109th Pentecostal Assem...

I'm fed up with Proton and proton mail so this is a great switch for me
This is terrifying. Anybody can pretend to be ICE and kidnap in broad daylight.
My leaked group chats are just messages of me abusing emojis and and reusing memes from 10 years ago
"But it was private because I sent it to my 10 shitty friends!" 😭😭😭😭😭
Gonna share this again.
This commenter said it best:
To the people who think what OP did was completely normal and something everyone does, (and I hate to use this phrase) check the “ratio” here. Nobody thinks this is normal. You and OP are in the slim minority spewing vile shit about people in your lives. It’s cruel and childish. You’d be smart to learn from OP’s predicament before you find yourself in the exact same situation with everyone you know hating you because you thought it was perfectly normal to constantly trash talk them behind their back. It’s not normal. Not everyone is doing it. Assholes like OP and apparently yourself are doing it. And it clearly can bite you in the ass. As I said in my initial comment, these kinds of things can have serious real world consequences. So you may wanna wise up and start being a respectable human being ;)
Normal people who don't do this: yeah that's weird.
Sus people: Hey that's not fair!

Let's not paint them as tech illiterate. That's how you drop your guard.
The same way conservatives believe liberals aren't armed.
These fools werent incompetent because they're Nazis. They're incompetent because they think they're better than everyone else, and they don't need to follow the rules established by others.
Late yesterday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emailed a response: “As we have repeatedly stated, there was no classified information transmitted in the group chat. However, as the CIA Director and National Security Advisor have both expressed today, that does not mean we encourage the release of the conversation. This was intended to be a an [sic] internal and private deliberation amongst high-level senior staff and sensitive information was discussed. So for those reason [sic] — yes, we object to the release.”
In the 90s, calling yourself a flat earther was a opportunity to have a fun and yet silly conversation about belief in science. During that time, both people KNEW that the earth was round. It was an exercise in creativity and played straight for laughs.
But somewhere in the 2000, some people didn't realize the satire. They actually BELIEVED in it.
There's a line of shitposting like with anything.
Shitposting is an art. It's satire.
Then there's actual shitty people who don't realize that the good shit posts harm nobody. Where shitty people posting disgusting racist things under the guise of Shitposting are too stupid to understand the nuance.

Best part about Shitposting honestly.
There's the shitposters who post weird funny things and are here just having a laugh.
Then the awful mofos who think Shitposting means they can be their true selves and post offensive garbage under the guise of Shitposting. Then they get called out, get really offended/flip out because they didn't realize.
It's a great honey trap.
