🚨 TOYOTA JUST MADE A CAR KEY SO CONFUSING… DEALERSHIPS HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE HOW TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR A full-grown adult has to explain how to unlock a car door using the new Toyota card key. The key card literally has instructions printed on it. Angle the card. Find the “right spot.” Try again. Like you’re diffusing a bomb. Even he can’t get it on the first try: “Not working… not working right.” Now people will be standing outside their own car… waving a card around hoping it works. How did Toyota just make a car key WORSE?

Dear Friends, Followers and Subscribers, our dear Americans, Seeing as one and all are reminiscing about Charlie Kirk today in light of the Iran war, I thought I would make something that happened crystal clear. Minds are for changing, and when the facts change we change our minds. We had dinner with Charlie Kirk in London last May 2025, and when Charlie I walked privately after dinner in Hyde Park, Charlie told me then that in his view Bibi Netanyahu was a psychopath and that the actions taken by his government in Gaza were psychopathic. We already knew that, so it was no shock to me, but it was good to see that his evaluation and capacity to observe the obvious was present and sane. Charlie had completely changed his mind and his position on Israel from when I first met him in Dec 2018, and in May 2025 he did not support their actions in Gaza or many of the actions of their government, particularly their growing destructive influence in America. Previously he had been one of Israel’s biggest champions, so this was indeed a complete change. We had witnessed his support of Israel previously as we had visited Israel with him in spring 2019 when he had held almost completely the opposite view. Charlie was also totally against any military engagement with Iran by America. And he told me in London that he had written a few days previously to Israeli leadership to express his disappointment. Erika, Charlie’s wife, shortly afterward on June 17th and 18th, communicated to us that she suported Charlie completely concerning his view of the insanity of involving the US in a war with Iran and the importance his attempts to achieve a peaceful resolution. And she communicated that directly to us in writing. She also, and most importantly, indicated that she did not agree with how biblical scripture was being used and was being twisted by pastors and politicians to justify their support of military action. This discussion is historically important in the light of discussions about dispensationalism* (see definition below) and how the Bible is being interpreted today by many politicians and military leaders to justify the current war. She stated very clearly that “the pastors” in Charlie’s orbit were “hungry for war.” That was her worry at that time, and Erika was VERY disturbed by it. Charlie was not alone in his views. Many feel the same way today. The elderly in America and the boomer generation seem to be somewhat unconscious on the subject of harmful Israeli government action and how it affects the entire future of America and the world. Charlie’s view was that most of the youth of today will never forgive Israel for the needless slaughter of innocent children in Gaza, and he suspected that they would not forgive Trump for a future war with Iran either. Charlie did his best to warn President Trump about this and what voters and the Trump base were telling him on June 18 last year. He did this knowingly at great personal risk to his personal relationship and friendship with the President. Today, the youth of the world and young voters in America, on the whole, have recognised that Trump’s actions in Iran are insane and that they have been encouraged by psychopaths. I personally believe that there is a possibility that Charlie was executed for his efforts to prevent the Iran war. This is my opinion. This matter and Charlie’s execution should be completely investigated. If an American citizen was executed by a foreign power for expressing their opinion, then we should be aware of that. I am not alone in that thought either. Charlie was one of my best friends; we communicated directly (often daily) since April 2018. We achieved a tremendous amount together. I have strong reason to believe that there is a possibility that he has been betrayed by several of those around him. @RealCandaceO @CarriePrejean1 @TuckerCarlson @BretWeinstein @piersmorgan @IanCarrollShow

Watch Dan post a video of a driver disengaging FSD. Dan - at least have your folks edit these videos better. He forgot to crop out the bottom of the video.

Watch @Tesla FSD HW3 abruptly crash into a slowing car on the freeway! @ElonMusk your defective software is risking the lives of road users everyday! It should NOT be operating on public roadways.

Tickky tac criticism of the Tesla UI is that I find myself sometimes unsure if the vehicle is in park or not. I think the letter P could be lit up a little brighter or a different color. Or maybe I’m not in Park?

@DudespostingWs That is ridiculously dangerous and he should lose his licence. That child is not fit to be in control of an aircraft, it doesn't even care about anything going on around it, it only cares about waving its arms in the wind. I'm all for teaching a child, but this is not the way.

@mikepat711 my wife and i used both grok and claude for complicated financial/retirement planning, and it was clear that claude has been trained specifically to do that. it produced an amazing .docx for its suggested plan, with tables w/background colors to clarify its preferred paths

One of the things I’m noticing with Claude is that the general interface is making it sticky. As I do more work in it, I am building up history. Inside of my “work helper” folder, it’s getting to know me better and better, and using my convo history inside the work helper ecosystem to become better at doing what I want it to do. It becomes easier to use Claude the longer I use it. In addition to more intelligence with productivity, xAI is going to need to make more attractive tools. The longer it takes, the more sticky competitors become.

@3sloth3 @mikepat711 i hit it on HW3 FSD on v12 in Nov 2024. the car braked but not in time. from videos of v14 approaching deer, i believe the car is now much more careful with them and will slow down if they're just in the zone

@BarkingToad @mikepat711 Did you hit it in a Tesla on FSD? I live in a rural area and the deer are active on my way to work. I basically spend my time watching for them ready to brake, but I think FSD will do that now. Earlier versions I've had to intervene. I haven't had any encounters with v14+.
