The current Y is the best overall car I've ever owned, and I've owned plenty across the spectrum. Nothing's even close.

Trump's Beef Catastrophe: Incompetence, Blithering Idiocy, and Blatant Lies Have Obliterated America's Beef Industry In yet another humiliating display of incompetence, the authoritarian Trump regime has turned America's once-mighty beef industry into a national punchline. After months of touting "record" export numbers as proof that his chaotic trade policies were somehow working, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been forced to admit it inflated beef export sales by a staggering 90 percent. According to a bombshell Reuters report, the USDA bragged in early July that U.S. exporters had sold more than 126,000 metric tons of beef to foreign buyers for a sales period ending in late June. The actual number? Just 12,000 metric tons. That's not a rounding error. That's a catastrophic fabrication that would embarrass a high-school bookkeeper. The fake numbers were so absurd they should have raised red flags immediately. The USDA claimed record sales of more than 38,000 metric tons to Chile and over 32,000 metric tons to Italy — countries that aren’t even major markets for American beef. Reality? A pathetic 367 tons to Chile and 350 tons to Italy. Fourteen other countries saw their numbers slashed as well. This isn't just bureaucratic sloppiness. This is the Trump regime's signature brand of hype, lies, spin, and propaganda colliding with economic reality — and the American cattle industry is paying the price. U.S. beef prices have hit record highs this year thanks to tight cattle supplies and strong domestic demand. Exports have been declining since 2022. Higher prices have priced American beef out of the global market, as commodity analyst Austin Schroeder bluntly told Reuters: "We're priced out of the world market to a certain extent. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for that big of an export number." Meanwhile, domestic supplies are so low the U.S. has had to ramp up beef imports. Earlier this year, a screwworm outbreak forced Texas to declare a state of disaster, further hammering producers already squeezed by Trump-era chaos. Instead of acknowledging the mess his administration created — from trade wars that disrupted markets to regulatory neglect that left ranchers vulnerable — Trump and his sycophants simply let the USDA pump out fantasy numbers and call it a win. This is the same pattern we've seen across the board: brag about successes that don't exist, then quietly revise the data when caught. Only this time it's not some abstract economic indicator. It's the backbone of rural America — cattle ranchers, feedlot operators, processors, and exporters — watching their industry get trashed by incompetence and covered up with lies. The revised numbers aren't just embarrassing, they're devastating. They confirm what ranchers have been screaming for months: America's beef sector is in serious trouble, and the people running the show are too busy tweeting victory to notice or care. The only question left is how many more "record" numbers will have to be walked back due to Trump being a serial lying sociopath who is too psychologically fragile to handle the truth.

B.C. Tesla driver spotted passed out at the wheel including all the passengers 👀

discovered dolby atmos remasters recently and I regret to inform you that music apparently has been in black and white this whole time. even on my budget, sub $1k setup (2x sonos era 300s) albums i've heard 500 times suddenly grew a third dimension, almost making me cry. WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS. switched from spotify to apple music purely for this and I'd do it again in front of daniel ek's family. its insanely good - do yourself a favor and go hear it.

🚨BREAKING: Tesla has been authorized by the State of Texas to operate driverless vehicles commercially under the new law that took effect today, May 28th, 2026. Tesla has officially self-certified the software running on its robotaxis as Level 4. $TSLA

This is insane. A New Jersey bill proposed (A3968) would require any driverless robotaxi to be equipped with cameras plus two additional distinct sensor types capable of detecting obstacles even if cameras fail (LiDAR, Radar). This bill wouldn’t allow Tesla to operate in the state since they use a camera-only approach. The requirements from the bill are: • 50,000 supervised miles with operators • Triple-sensor hardware before any robotaxi goes fully driverless. Sen. Andrew Zwicker: "At this point, I don't think the evidence is sufficient that a single sensor with software can handle situations that humans can." What? Have these people seen anything Tesla is doing right now? This bill is absolutely ridiculous. Link to oppose the bill is below.

F-35A is doing Brrrrrrrrt.

I tried modafanil soda and it tasted terrible. But, I can confirm that it works.
