@SantoroSystems People with old yellowed headlights, those with windshield tint, those who can’t see well at night have high beams permanently on and do not care one bit

Why not just mandate things like Matrix headlights on all newer vehicles,

🚨 Democrats have introduced a bill to ban ultra-bright headlights that blind drivers on the road.

@houmanhemmati @MayorOfLA @KarenBassLA Government paying generous over market prices for volume guaranteed builds will never get old

It was bad enough to hand @MayorOfLA @KarenBassLA billions of taxpayer dollars to house homeless people in hotels.
Now she’s planning a $2 BILLION “affordable” housing project allegedly for 3500 seniors, which we know will be $20 billion, take 20 years, and never be built.

NEW: Mayor Karen Bass goes one-on-one with us on a proposed $2 billion, 3,500-unit affordable senior housing project in Woodland Hills, CA. We also ask for clarification on remarks she made that some homeless people use meth to stay awake at night for protection.

@RivianTrackr Can the Rivian handles be set to operate manually ? So they don’t pop up ever but can push to open ?
English
We have Hedwig back from getting new door handles that don’t squeak and leaky front camera washer. All done quickly and efficiently!

@Mikekantorski @Rivian What’s gear guard ? I thought it’s like Tesla sentry mode and all Rivian models have it … don’t they ?
English
There’s still time to reconsider putting some type of gear guard on the launch edition R2…. @Rivian

We did a thing. How R2 Performance should be! 🔥🔥🔥

It can’t be done imo. The canceling devices have to be either near each noise source, or near each listener.
Imagine a clear lake with multiple people making waves. You can cancel out the movement at any one point.
What you can’t do is add one wave maker to cancel all the waves
English
if anyone is developing a device in this category, please dm me. i will invest asap. i am not kidding.
please. i am begging anyone to do this.
this would structurally change the composition of public life in meaningful ways.
Jay Hack@mathemagic1an
What if we could cancel out urban noise pollution? Place a set of speakers that act like noise-cancelling airpods for all pedestrians simultaneously You can actually do this - and it paves the way for an "acoustics foundation model" Simulation code + proposal 👇

In the next episode, concerned with California’s sad state of affairs, Ro takes a freedom flotilla to reach the glorious Palestine by sea. If all goes well he will continue his trek further and meet with IRGC freedom fighters.
New York Times is at the ready to publish each glorious sentence coming directly from Ro in the fight to better California

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.
When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.
They made a huge mistake.
You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…

@planet4589 How do the sats move ? Do they use consumable propellant
English
SpaceX continues to reconfigure its Starlink constellation, moving the satellites to lower orbits. In this thread by 'high' I will mean sats at 500-600 km, 'medium' 400-500 km and 'low' 300-400 km.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Years from now this idiot will be a trivia footnote like the 19th century Red Flag Law which required a person to walk in front of the automobile waving a red flag to warn others of the vehicle's approach

New Jersey Democratic state Senator Andrew Zwicker on a new bill requiring cameras plus two additional sensors (likely LiDAR & radar) for autonomous vehicles, which would effectively ban @Tesla robotaxis in the state if passed:
"This is not anti-Tesla. I'm pro-New Jersey safety; At this point, I don't think the evidence is sufficient that a single sensor with software can handle situations that humans can," Zwicker said.
Also, Uber argued that the state should continue requiring human drivers for most rides, a very anti-autonomous vehicle stance, despite the fact that data shows humans are worse drivers than autonomous vehicles....

New York City's Department of Buildings has released a new image showing the emergency works to stablise the 37-storey tower at 235 East 42nd Street after structural beams were seen buckling on its 21st floor.
In a statement, the Department said: "Crews working through the night have made significant progress in stabilizing the impacted building at 235 East 42nd Street. DOB inspectors and engineers will remain on site to monitor the progress of work and continue their investigation into the structural failure."
New York City Buildings Commissioner Ahmed Tigani had reassured New Yorkers on Tuesday night that the building was stable.
Formerly the headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, the building at 235 East 42nd Street had been undergoing renovation work to convert it from office space to more than 1,600 high-end apartments — including the addition of four new floors and the extension of several other levels.
Fire crews were called to reports of falling masonry at the site on Tuesday morning local time. A 'frozen-zone' was established from 40th to 45th Streets and from First to Third Avenues, which saw the area closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic and buildings evacuated.
The building renovation project, designed by Gensler for Metro Loft and David Werner Real Estate, had been due to complete in 2027. It's understood that the general contractor is 235 GC LLC with GACE as structural engineers.

@KevinMelnuk 75 million shares in the public offering, plus 30-day option to purchase an additional 11.5 million shares at 15.5

@turtledome Not anyone. Only 11 million shares are available to those that participated and that’s all done.

@TravisKetchum @Rivian I wish cars stop advertising “hey I’m unlocked !” with the popped door handles.
just let me open the damn door when I touch it.
English
@jasteinerman cool visualization but entirely wrong, starting with the location of the beams
English
I wanted to better understand the situation with the collapsing building in NYC, so I had Fable build an architecturally-accurate 3D model of the building (based off schematics), place the sagging beams, AND implement an animation of this should be remediated.

How is that even possible, we elect people to the position with all the responsibilities, not just to the title. At election time the responsibilities conferred are what’s at stake.
Otherwise whats stopping him from saying State Superintendent handles janitorial duties and nothing else.
English
Newsom couldn’t beat me at the ballot box, so he changed the rules.
After I won the primary for State Superintendent, he rammed through one of the biggest power grabs in California history, handing the office's duties to a governor's appointee. This is what fear looks like.

@MarkLevineNYC Who is going to pay money to live in that building ?
Who is going to insure the building ?

Important updates on structural problems at the former Pfizer building in Midtown:
The building is at risk of a localized collapse due to two structural (load-bearing) columns buckling on the 21st floor. There are also multiple cracks and sagging floors. The building remains unstable, and city officials have witnessed continued movement of the building since around 8am this morning aided by the use of FDNY drones.
A frozen zone has been established from 40th to 45th streets and from First to Third avenues. Avoid the area. Luckily, everyone in the building has been evacuated and accounted for, and no injuries have been reported.
FDNY, DOB and NYCEM, including inspectors and engineers, are closely monitoring the evolving situation and looking for an opportunity to enter the building to shore up the 21st floor by installing beams to spread out the load. That opportunity would only be possible once the building has been deemed stable.
This is a steel-frame building, meaning a collapse would not be a total one, but more localized, according to FDNY. This is an active office-to-residential conversion project, and there will be an investigation into what caused this dangerous situation.

@MaxPatten You think that’s bad, check the Rivian community on reddit for their thoughts on Tesla.
English
Negativity to Rivian in the Tesla community is bonkers. They are in a precarious financial spot but they’ve gone from best selling in niche luxury segment to designing the extremely well received mainstream R2. They are primed for making it at scale. Won’t be easy.
