POV: Tesla shipping a pair of Cybertruck wiper blades to your house because you forgot the truck only needs one.

The point of the left labeling speech as violence was always to justify violence against speech.

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.
“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

If you're upset about USAID having it's funding cut off and want to contribute to humanitarian aid projects , donate to Flexport.org. No overhead costs (Flexport covers those), corruption, or waste. Every dollar goes to moving relief goods directly to people suffering from humanitarian disasters.

I dug into the data. Fiat Chrysler (FCA) was the most recalled automaker in the US in 2024, while @Tesla was one of the least. Tesla's over-the-air (OTA) software update recalls in the US affected 5,096,386 vehicles (many vehicles received multiple OTA recalls, so they are counted more than once.) In contrast, Tesla's physical recalls—requiring a visit to a service center—affected only 39,311 vehicles, accounting for just 0.77% of the total.
Total recalls (including physical & software update recalls):
• FCA: 72
• Ford: 62
• BMW: 36
• GM: 33
• Mercedes: 27
• Hyundai: 25
• Jaguar Land Rover (JLR): 20
• Kia: 19
• Honda: 18
• VW: 18
• Nissan: 17
• Toyota: 16
• Tesla: 15
• Mazda: 8
• Rivian: 6
• Lucid: 5
• Volvo: 4
The number of physical recalls each automaker had that required customers to visit a service center:
• FCA: 72
• Ford: 62
• BMW: 36
• GM: 33
• Mercedes: 27
• Hyundai: 24
• Jaguar Land Rover (JLR): 20
• Kia: 19
• Honda: 18
• VW: 18
• Toyota: 16
• Nissan: 16
• Mazda: 8
• Tesla: 7
• Rivian: 4
• Volvo: 4
• Lucid: 2
The number of over-the-air software update recalls each automaker had that not require any service center visits:
• Tesla: 8
• Lucid: 3
• Hyundai: 1
• Rivian: 1
• Nissan: 1
• BMW: 0
• Toyota: 0
• FCA: 0
• Ford: 0
• GM: 0
• Mercedes: 0
• JLR: 0
• Kia: 0
• Honda: 0
• VW: 0
• Mazda: 0
• Volvo: 0
Out of the 401 total recalls, including both physical and software updates, only 14 were remedied with over-the-air software updates. Tesla accounted for 57% of all OTA recalls.
The mainstream media has done an excellent job of convincing people that Teslas break all the time and or need fixing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The data above shows that not only does @Tesla rank near the bottom in total recall count, but 99.23% of the Teslas that were recalled in the US were “fixed” with a simple over-the-air software update performed in the comfort of the owners’ homes or garages—no service center visit required.
Tesla makes the safest cars on the road (Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS). Their active safety features are great in preventing crashes, but if the worst happens, they have incredible passive safety engineering too.

“It’s bad to assassinate someone in cold blood.”
“Well what if he is operating a company I’m not fond of?”
Wut?
Look, you can search for me ranting about how bad UHC has been for us.
That doesn’t mean you kill the CEO!
WTF is happening? Where is our moral compass?

My hottest take is I don’t think a massive number people in academia are that smart, which is why they are unemployable elsewhere.
I think they become very pedantic people that learn a ritualistic way of communicating that sounds smart, but if you really examine it - all it does is inflate weak ideas.
They become so focused on minor details they’re unable to connect it to any larger narrative. Everything about their lives becomes missing the forest for the trees.

Checkout the latest new hands on Optimus! The left hand here is the 22DoF hand with all actuation in the forearm with tendons passing through the wrist (like humans). All packaged beautifully in a human like form factor.
Ensuring smooth, accurate tendon control on a high DoF hand is a complex task! It allows us to expand the set of tasks Optimus can be taught to do and showcase how low-latency, high kinematic accuracy teleoperation can do agile tasks (catching a ball!)
Consider joining the Optimus team to work on these cool engineering problems!

Play The Long Game President Trump
By, Chris Rossini (@chrisrossini)
It’s easy to gain weight, but difficult to lose weight.
It’s easy to rack up debt, but difficult to pay it off.
So it is with freedom. It’s easy to let freedom slip away, but very difficult to get it back.
As relieving as it is to see the election results and the overwhelming support for President Trump to change the direction of our nation, we must resist the temptation of believing that this will be easy.
It will not.
Once the celebrations subside, the reality of 100+ years of damage will be there waiting for us.
The resistance to change (even if it’s for the better) will be intense.
Human nature is such that we seek to maintain the status quo, even if the status quo is detrimental and destroying us.
Fortunately, this goes both ways.
If the status quo is to vigilantly guard your faith, family and freedom (as it was in the early years of America’s history) then tyranny has a very difficult time gaining a foothold.
But alas, the second 100 years of America’s history have been the opposite of the first.
Faith was kicked to the curb, the family was virtually destroyed, and Americans continually succumbed to the seductions of the state.
Today, we have the biggest government in the history of the world; and as a consequence, the "land of the free" has become a distant memory.
Addiction to government replaced the love of freedom.
Being a busybody replaced 'live and let live'.
The world's tapestry of nations and cultures was replaced by endless wars and a drive for global conformity.
Predictably, this has morally and economically bankrupted America.
Other nations no longer seek to replicate us. They don't want to be "woke"; nor do they want to be destroyed in the name of "freedom and democracy."
Fortunately for us, the vast majority of America doesn't want to be "woke" either!
But change for America will bring anger; on top of the anger that already exists.
So, play the long game President Trump.
Seek for the results of your actions to outlive all of us.
Plant good seeds today.
Rip out as many weeds as you can.
The Dept. of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), with Elon Musk at the helm, is a brilliant idea!
Get us out of the business of miserably attempting to rule the world. We literally can’t be the world’s busybody any longer.
We must be a nation that cares for itself, with goodwill and good relations with the rest of the world.
A nation that cares for itself will instinctively re-learn and bring back the virtues of faith, family and freedom.
When that time arrives (someday in the distant future) Americans will look back at our time with a sense of fondness, in the same way that we look back with fondness on 1776.
