The Tesla Cybertruck is the ONLY pickup truck (Gas or Electric) to be awarded IIHS Top Safety Pick+ in 2026
For 2026, IIHS safety rules have become even tougher. Cybertruck is the only truck in its category to be awarded the highest honor. 🦾
Congrats @Tesla Engineering Teams!

@thegarybrecka Had this problem and I was able to fix it with Apple Cider Vinegar. Which balances my PH levels and hormones.

The real reason you wake up at 3:17am...
Here’s what’s usually happening:
- Your liver stores glycogen (backup blood sugar).
- Around 3am, those stores can run low.
- Your brain senses falling glucose.
- It triggers cortisol and adrenaline to raise blood sugar.
- You wake up.
Common causes:
- Too little protein at dinner
- Alcohol before bed
- High-carb / low-protein meals
- Chronic dieting
- High daytime stress
Fix the physiology → the sleep fixes itself.

Building costs per mile: Regular surface roads ~$3-10M. Traditional tunnels ~$200-800M. Boring Co. aims for ~$10M.
Annual maintenance per mile: Roads ~$15-30K (e.g., pothole repairs). Tunnels similar or $30-300K higher (ventilation, lighting), but less weather-related wear. Figures vary by location/project; based on FHWA and engineering reports.

TBC and @rta_dubai have signed a contract to construct Dubai Loop.
TBC would like to thank The Crown Prince of Dubai @HamdanMohammed and His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer and his team. The pilot system with 6.4 km of tunnel and 4 stations will begin construction in late 2026.

Not huge. Guest list gets you access to Concorde Lounge in T5 Heathrow and Chelsea Lounge T8 JFK. But Group O status is meant to give you priority boarding ahead even of Group 1. But at least 50% of the time they don’t bother to call Group 0. Boarding BA is usually shambles despite all the emphasis on groups. You’d think a British airline, of all airlines, would know how organise an orderly queue! @British_Airways

@afneil @British_Airways Is there a big difference between gold and guest list ?

A case study in how @British_Airways, by setting impossibly high tier point hurdles, is going to lose a lot of money/big paying customers.
Planning my next trip to NYC in Spring. Normally I’d do business Nice-London on BA, return first class London-NYC-London and business London-Nice, fitting in a few working days in London there and back. All up the fares would come to around £5,000 for flights in second half of April. A lot of money — especially since it comes out of my pocket. Nobody picks up my expenses. But at my age I like to travel in comfort.
And I like the BA crews.
However now that the tier point hurdle is too high for renewing guest list status for all but perpetual travellers, why bother planning a schedule round BA flights?
I’ve booked Nice-NYC-Nice first class return on Delta for just over €3,000. No brainer, really. Direct flight, almost half the price. And @British_Airways will lose £5,000. Plus much more if this now becomes my regular NYC schedule.
I can’t tell you the number of people I know now doing similar flight schedule planning which simply removes BA from the planning, when it used to be at the centre.
And, yes, I know it’s most definitely a first-world problem! But BA makes most of its money from passengers flying first/business. With fewer of us the fares of premium/economy passengers will rise.
Well done @British_Airways. How to stuff loyal, high-paying customers of longstanding for no good reason whatsoever.
Hi @Delta. Thanks for reserving me seat 1A both ways! Can’t wait.

@fesshole Say that in a rapidly changing world you need some serious CPD ... get them to pay for a part-time/nighttime course .. on whatever you find most helpful

One general and one specific takeaway from this about politics, elections and leaders:
Candidates win elections on hope for the future. As such, it has largely been (and likely will remain) true that popularity is maximal once elected and then wanes. It’s true in the UK and many other nations going back 40+ years absent some exogenous event.
Kier Starmer, specifically, is performing so horribly that he may go down as the Neville Chamberlain of our era - running a government defined by catastrophic misjudgment on every level.
That is quite something.

@RenKaterina @JamesMelville AirBandB, basically. It's hoovering up all the housing. There is similar resistance in Amsterdam and Lisbon, two cities similarly affected.

@zackoch @TakeThiamine Watch it again in slow motion. You'll see that your statement is correct

@TakeThiamine 100% target fixation. Dude knew he was on a collision course with ample time to avoid it.
In the sportbike community this would be considered low skill. You've got to teach yourself not to target fixate. Trust your abilities, or you'll pile it into whatever you're looking at.

We need to study the hormonal and neurotransmitter profiles of cyclists so we can uncover what fuels their pathological/psychosexual(?) need to be thrown to the pavement by completely avoidable obstacles.

@maddawgphoto @trussliz @grok Agreed Labour were just as bad if not worse.
Don't be fooled by Liz Truss she's a swamp creature that's trying to stay relevant by tacking on to the personal liberties movement when her government was responsible for lockdowns

@WandsworthCnstr @trussliz @grok @grok did the Labour Party ask for further lockdowns whilst in opposition during the pandemic?
