You better not miss a car payment:
Ford has filed a patent that would allow self-driving cars to drive away from owners who can’t keep up with their payments 🙃
While the patent is not yet approved, the future is most definitely going to be wild.
Horrifying news of massacres in Tigray as leaders worked to secure a peace deal last fall. Accountability for these & all atrocities is critical to enduring peace. @AbiyAhmedAli must allow @UN_HRC’s International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia unfettered access.
There is no excuse for POTUS to send US officials to #Ethiopia for #IGF2022. Our participation legitimizes a gov’t whose track record on internet governance includes imposing an internet blackout on #Tigray for 2 years – crushing #freespeech & hiding horrific #humanrights abuses.
“One of the worst and most tragic messages that comes out of this peace agreement is that starvation works."

A week after a ceasefire agreement, where is the humanitarian aid response for the 6 million people in the Tigray region in Ethiopia?
Food and medical assistance are now critically needed.
Irish 🇮🇪 diplomats cannot be left alone in denouncing Ethiopia 🇪🇹 for its actions.
this peace won’t mean much to Tigrayans until the siege ends. But aid still isn’t going in. And Tigray remains in darkness. If someone has their knee on your neck, it isn’t over when they agree to back off. It’s over when they remove their knee.
Tigray is one of the world’s worst ongoing armed conflicts but unlike Ukraine or others, largely unknown, and we should know, and @elonmusk, who wants Twitter to be a source of info, can get 50k eyes or more on Tigray with a single tweet, so let me just say, hi Elon.
@BilisumaKegna There’s no twisting of info. Ethiopia is exporting wheat for profit and simultaneously requesting international aide to feed people in Afar, Amhara and Tigray. Those are facts. Backwards country.
Staggered to hear @WFP tell @CommonsIDC that it’s been unable to get trucks with humanitarian resources into #Tigray since 24th August! The peace process has yet to change that.
