Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey did the unthinkable: he vetoed a stupid regulation passed 7-6 by the city council, requiring "autonomous" cars to have human drivers in them.

Attended SCIVIS (visually impaired) @SpaceCampUSA graduation last night. It’s my annual test to see if my tear ducts still work. If you know a visually impaired child, consider sending them here!

I see people in traffic driving Juniper Model Ys and using their steering wheels and I think, “what’s wrong with them?”
Don’t tell how much you “love driving yourself” if you haven’t experienced FSD. There’s no “driving love” when it’s 11:30 at night and 18-wheelers are surrounding you on a four-lane highway in the rain.
Our final episode of The Captain America Minute Podcast features our friend, director Joe Johnston, talking about everything from the art of storytelling to what it's like seeing a Millenium Falcon sticker on a car (he designed that ship). Join us Friday!

This is exactly how I feel when I try to explain Full Self Driving to somebody who’s never been in a Tesla.

With the passing of Tim Curry, that leaves just two of the main 12 actors left alive from The Hunt for Red October: Alec Baldwin and Scott Glenn.
