Tesla’s robotaxi launch in Texas skips strict safety rules, unlike Waymo’s careful, proven path. With only camera-based tech (no LiDAR) and minimal regulation, Tesla is betting big on untested autonomy — not innovation, but a shortcut. It’s a risky move driven by dropping sales and pressure to deliver on AI promises.
Tesla's risky robotaxi launch in Texas skips key safety steps. Can it compete with Waymo and Zoox or will it derail trust in autonomous vehicles forever?
#Unicef reports that "an average of 112 children a day [...] have been admitted for treatment for #malnutrition in the #Gaza Strip" since the beginning of 2025.
If this trend continues until end of June (i.e. one more week), it will be 20,000 children, or about 1% of the overall population of the Gaza strip. That doesn't sound much, but a) every child is one too many (especially for something like malnutrition, where the only thing necessary to avoid it would be to let food trucks into Gaza), b) these numbers don't include adults, and c) there's little reason to believe the other children and adults in Gaza are doing much better.
#Israel (and in particular #Netanjahu) bears the responsibility for this.
(Yes, #Israel has the right to defend itself, and yes, the #Hamas attack on Israel was #terrorism, but no, this does not justify the extent to which Israel retaliates, and especially not the attacks on #civilians and #humanaidworkers.)
#بريطانيا تدعم ابنها غير الشرعي و تعتبر دعم غيره #جريمة يعاقب عليها قانون #العنصربة و #الإحتلال و التطهير العرقي الذي يدعمونه بكل وقاحة #Britain supports her illegitimate son and considers supporting someone else a crime punishable by the law of #racism, #occupation and ethnic cleansing, which they brazenly support
This may sound pollyanaish. But think of how unpopular the occupation of Los Angeles has gotten even as the 9th sanctioned it. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bbp2b…
Apparently this needs to be explained. 1) Legal -- what plaintiffs, defense teams, and courts can do. 2) Legislative -- these are the people in Congress you don't know what they're doing. 3) Political -- THIS IS YOU!!!! You have agency!!!! Think about what YOU can do to make something unpopular!!
"We were protesting at 3 sites across the country supplying Israel's F-35 jets, which are used in Israel's #genocide in the #gaza strip. We demand a full arms embargo on Israel.
Britain is an active participant in Israel’s genocide in #palestine, through its arms trade and military collaboration with Israel. One example is Britain’s contribution to Israel’s F-35 fighter jets, used to drop 2,000lb bombs on the Gaza Strip."

Kat Cammack recounts emergency room ordeal but claims ‘fearmongering’ by Democrats and pro-choice activists sowing confusion among medical professionals
Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that she almost died last year as a result of her state’s six-week abortion ban, which left hospital staff reluctant to treat her ectopic pregnancy for fear of criminal prosecution.
Cammack was only five weeks pregnant at the time, the embryo had no heartbeat and her own safety was in jeopardy, but nevertheless the congresswoman found herself forced to pull up the letter of the law on her phone to argue the case and even put in a call to Governor Ron DeSantis, without being able to reach him, before staff relented and came to her aid.
But surprisingly, given her ordeal, the representative does not feel the law itself is at fault and instead blames Democrats for scaring medical professionals into confusion over their responsibilities.

Strikes on Iran Were ‘Highly Classified Mission' – Pentagon Chief sputnikglobe.com/20250622/stri… The Department of Defense said that the goal of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities was to “destroy or severely degrade” the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. #news #press
The image depicts a serene forest scene with a series of tall, slender birch trees. The trees have white bark with black markings, standing upright and creating a vertical pattern. The background features a gradient sky transitioning from a light blue at the top to a darker blue towards the horizon. Below the trees, there is a field of yellow and orange hues, suggesting a grassy area. The colors are soft and blended, creating a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere. The overall composition is balanced, with the vertical lines of the trees contrasting against the horizontal expanse of the sky and field. The painting style is impressionistic, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on color and light rather than detailed realism.

Advocates fear Senate’s version of Trump’s budget bill could leave millions without healthcare and boost corporations
Advocates are urging Senate Republicans to reject a proposal to cut billions from American healthcare to extend tax breaks that primarily benefit the wealthy and corporations.
The proposal would make historic cuts to Medicaid, the public health insurance program for low-income and disabled people that covers 71 million Americans, and is the Senate version of the “big beautiful bill” act, which contains most of Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.
“With the text released earlier this week, somehow the Senate made the House’s ‘big, bad budget bill’ worse in many ways,” said Anthony Wright, the executive director of Families USA, a consumer healthcare advocacy group, in a press call.
The image features a man taking a selfie in a hallway. He has dark hair, a beard, and is wearing a dark-colored shirt. The background shows a well-lit hallway with wooden flooring and doors on either side. The text overlay at the top of the image reads: "Me watching as I accidentally refresh my Pinterest page after seeing an image I've been looking for since birth." This text humorously describes the man's reaction to finding a long-sought image on Pinterest.

#EU plant Öl-und Gaspreisdeckel, um #Russland zu schaden. Nur zu dumm, dass die Preise gerade wieder, dank des #Angriffskrieges von #Netanjahu und #Trump, durch die Decke schießen. Warten wir mal ab, was passiert, wenn die #StraßeVonHormus durch #Iran unpassierbar wird. Autofreie Sonntage und Pferde vor Autos zu spannen wird wieder Mode werden, freue mich darauf.
Quite a big story from Hope Not Hate on the new Reform UK director...
In December 2022 he shared a post that said: “The Satanic WEF [World Economic Forum] Leaders around the World forced their Citizens to submit to a BIOWEAPON VACCINE that has killed millions… and NOT ONE of these Motherf**kers have been arrested and it makes me f**king sick.”

New release: The long anticipated X-Out: Resurfaced soundtrack is now available on my Bandcamp! The classic X-Out underwater shooter game was released in 1989 and was my first big Amiga project. It was an important stepping stone to my next big project, which was Turrican.
With X-Out I was "testing the water" so to speak, figuring out all the possibilities of my (then) newly developed TFMX sound tool. The soundtrack became pretty short loops, particularly the ingame tracks, because of the limitations back then. I always felt that my original compositions for X-Out had a lot more potential, and when Ziggurat acquired the IP with the other Rainbow Arts titles and announced a reimagined, updated new version of the game, I saw a chance to enhance and extend the music to its full potential!
Thanks to Ziggurat for also allowing me to now release the soundtrack on my Bandcamp, check it out! I feel this is one of my best works!
The image features a close-up of an orange tabby cat with a slightly annoyed expression, looking through a transparent barrier. The cat's eyes are half-closed, and its fur is a mix of orange and white. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the cat. At the top of the image, there is text in black font that reads: "i need money sm" mfs when you suggest getting a job. The cat is positioned in a container with some dark-colored pellets, likely cat food, scattered around it. The overall tone of the image is humorous, using the cat's expression to convey a sense of reluctance or sarcasm.
