@MaryTilesTexas I wish the monetization was enough to allow you to hire someone to at least do all the editing for you.

I want you all to know I realllllly hate filming and editing work videos but because I really want to push the trades and I appreciate all of you I will continue doing it. Just wanted to complain 🤣

@CollinRugg More judges like this!!!!

NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store. Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence. "There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said. "You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years." Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk. Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

@DrRitaDed “Their”

Their is something seriously wrong with MAGA clowns. They are so unintelligent it's not funny. Go over any of there posts and you'll find spelling mistakes galore. They don't use the correct "your" and they can't even string a sentence together. No wonder the movement is dead.

@mattvanswol @Breaking911 Orange man bad…

@Breaking911 WHO THE HELL WOULD VOTE AGAINST THIS?!!!!! HOW DID 186 DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST DEPORTING ILLEGAL ALIEN FRAUDSTERS?!!!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE????????!!!!!!!!

🚨 BREAKING: The House of Representatives has passed a bill mandating automatic deportation for illegal aliens who commit welfare fraud, in a 231–186 vote.

@FredLambert The foundation of your argument is an assumption. Everything else crumbles when the foundation is weak. In 4 seconds she could have literally come to a complete stop.

Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.

@alexmd2 @elonmusk @alex_avoigt @wholemars @WR4NYGov Like all of the other car brands do???

@elonmusk @alex_avoigt @wholemars @WR4NYGov Tesla should still try to prevent crashes like this even if its drivers fail.

The media is running a story today about how a Cybertruck “allegedly” crashed on a Texas highway. Spoiler alert, the crash happened while the human driver was in control. The law firm, which is seeking $1 million, says that last summer Justine Saint Amour was driving her Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged. There’s just one problem — Autopilot is a legacy lane keeping system that never shipped on Cybertruck. The driver then admits that before the crash they disengaged the system and started driving manually. Indeed, the video shows the truck starting to turn before the driver disengaged and drove into the wall. Tesla hasn’t officially responded to the lawsuit yet, but available telemetry indicates the driver probably wasn’t paying attention, got startled, and crashed. There doesn’t seem to be any attempt to steer back towards the on-ramp in the video, rather you see the trajectory change from turning with the ramp to driving straight into it. When you crash your car, people tend to put blame on anyone but themselves. A high profile company like Tesla, with a CEO who is the wealthiest man on Earth? Yeah, they kinds of BS lawsuits happen often. Let’s wait for more data and discovery to take place, but based on the evidence i’m seeing so far that doesn’t look like something FSD — even an older V13 — would do.

@elonmusk @wholemars @WR4NYGov FSD would have prevented that crash. The driver was incompetent.

@wholemars @WR4NYGov Logs show driver disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing

@atensnut @nicksortor I fully understand his reasoning.

@nicksortor What was all that about ? Yeah, I fell for it for a few days. Dammit.

This is VERY important to note. For those thinking John Fetterman might join the Republican Party… He literally just voted AGAINST the bill that a WHOPPING 85% of Americans support Fetterman votes with Dems **91%** of the time. HE’S NOT MAGA.

@DrRitaDed @IfindRetards

The climate is going to kill our children and you all just continue on like it's nothing. Stop using your air conditioner, stop using gas guzzling vehicles, stop buying phones and laptops, stop buying TVs. Do you fucking part already

@JohnQuiggII The reasons are there, you just can’t see through the fog. Keep looking; the fog always clears. Happiness is in your future.

I just voted against advancing the SAVE America Act.

@AmericaPapaBear St John’s County, Fl. St Augustine

Entitled Spoiled Girl Almost K*lls a Cop in Rage and Single Handedly Ruins Her Entire Life in One Moment! Running is NEVER a good idea!

I’m suspect that the actual data that gets pulled will show that she intervened, which disengaged FSD, and cause the crash because she became unsure what FSD was going to do. But had she allowed FSD to continue, it would have navigated the turn successfully. Of course that is only a guess based on my experience with FSD because I haven’t seen the data. But I just want to point out that there is more than just the one theory about what may have happened. I 💯 could be proven wrong, but I’m waiting to hear all sides, instead of just basing a conclusion on a statement from one attorney that is trying to win a case.

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

@wonderartsy @IfindRetards

Still masking because I don't have universal healthcare and can't afford to be sick. #MaskUp #VirusesAreAirborne

@elonmusk @IfindRetards Inside an echo chamber, in a bubble.

@IfindRetards Just a bunch of perverts in a circle jerk

I know it's kinda my job to watch things like the Oscars but I refuse. There is only so much retardation one person can take.

@t0rv1c @WallStreetApes @grok In California, any corner of an intersection is considered a “crosswalk” even if it isn’t painted.

@WallStreetApes @grok is this legal? This doesn't look like a crosswalk section. It is dangerous. Is there any data on how much money LAPD makes each year doing this type of "work"?

WOW 🚨 California resident captures the police in Ventura setting up an entrapment trap You can see all the officers huddled with their motorcycles and cameras filming They send people out to cross the road without green walk signs. Any car that doesn’t stop gets pulled over This isn’t the first time I’ve seen entrapment scams like this in California

@elonmusk This is not new.

Oscars have become unwatchable

@US_OGA You just described what a toilet does before the turd goes down.

The governor's social media team is essentially stuck in an intellectual cul-de-sac. They just keep circling around and around and around and around and can't seem to find their way out.

I love this theory, but it’s a multi-stage process. To a great degree the government civilian workforce is dysfunctional in a way the prohibits accountability for poor performers. The appeals process is so extreme, including federal administrative judges, that supervisors are discouraged from following through with adverse actions because it’s just easier to move on and shift the workload to the higher performing staff. While having an appeals process is necessary to prevent illegal/immoral targeting, there has to be a balance. While I have not been exposed to NASA’s specific culture, I have a decade of experience working for multiple government agencies. I found that 10-20 percent of the employees produce about 80% of the work (caveat - this is a perception and not based on a study). Poor performers end up getting very comfortable because of the protections they have and high performers actively search for higher paying opportunities in the private sector, where they can make more money and be part of teams where everyone pulls their weight or gets replaced. In short, government employment is designed to provide job security to moderate and poor performers, not reward high performers. In the end you lose your best people and only retain the lower performing people. However, it’s much easier to terminate a contract when the contractor is not performing. This needs to be fixed in order for that effort to truly work.

It’s simple: NASA needs the best talent—and we’re bringing it back in-house. We’re reviewing thousands of contractor roles for conversion to civil servant positions to rebuild core capabilities, move faster, and put more resources toward science, and discovery. We will launch rockets in months, not years.

@MaryTilesTexas @Villgecrazylady So you’ve identified 600 people that make poor decisions…

@Villgecrazylady I lost like 600 followers the past few days so it’s just you hahaha

Did X just unsuspend thousands of accounts? I’m pretty sure I had 234 or 235k followers yesterday and I woke up to 238k. Fantastic news if so, I’d love to see my old frens. But don’t want to get my hopes up?
