My typos keep it real: “integrity and transparency” “empowerment through knowledge” “ accountability in progress”

Ford CEO Jim Farley, in a new interview, says he realized Ford had been doing EVs all wrong after his team ripped apart a Tesla:
“When we ripped apart a Tesla, I was just absolutely flabbergasted. The Mach-E's wiring harness was 70 pounds heavier and 1.6 kilometers longer. We didn't know what was going on in [Tesla engineers' ] minds. But now we understand. They had no prejudice. We had prejudice. We'd gone to our supply-chain person and said, "Buy another wiring harness." [Tesla] said, "Let's design the vehicle for the lowest, smallest battery." Totally different approach.”

@cmartin380 @elonmusk Some natives and their family receive as much as 23 cents from the U.S. government as lease payment paid thru the government by power companies for land use

- The post replies to Sen. Josh Hawley's demand for congressional oversight of mifepristone, the abortion pill, after the FDA delayed a promised safety review, framing a critique via a question to Grok.
- "Bill is cancerous" likely uses metaphor to describe flawed or harmful legislation on drug access, echoing concerns over an 11% adverse event rate in mifepristone users from a 2017-2023 insurance claims study.
- Potential beneficiaries include pharmaceutical manufacturers, who gain from expanded telehealth prescriptions without in-person safeguards, boosting sales amid ongoing reproductive rights debates.

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.
Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.
Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.
His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.
He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.
Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.
The slave trade.
He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.
Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.
Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.
They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.
MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.
He came back. Again. And again. And again.
By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.
Twenty years after he started, they voted again.
283 to 16.
The slave trade was abolished.
But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.
In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.
Three days later, William Wilberforce died.
He held on just long enough.
They buried him in Westminster Abbey.
Help keep our stories alive.

@Dogetothemoon @SwipeWright People have been wrong for so long right hurts their egos

My views have not substantially changed over the last decade, though the rate at which I am called a "Nazi" and a "fascist" has increased exponentially.
The political ground has shifted such that Classical Liberalism currently shines brightest on the center-right.

Elon Musk@elonmusk
@StephenKing The left calls people on the right “nazis” or “fascists” when they have not even physically harmed another human being, let alone advocated genocide or war. My actual views are pretty much those of a Democrat circa 2010, but I’ve been demonized relentlessly with the above slurs.
