🇲🇽 This Mexican city has a downhill corner so cursed it turned into live-action Mario Kart.
Cars, taxis, bikes, trucks. They all fall prey to the same bend.
The music makes it 10x worse.
Meta Platforms $META just signed a purchase agreement to get
SOLAR POWER FROM SPACE AT NIGHT
Meta Platforms has reserved its spot to *eventually* purchase up to a gigawatt of solar power from startup Overview Energy
Overview says it's developing satellites that collect solar power in space, convert that energy to near-infrared light and beam it at sufficiently large solar farms on Earth which can convert that light to electricity
It’s not clear if any money changed hands today
Big if true
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 The U.S. and China are rehearsing space combat, and neither side is saying it out loud.
36,000km above Earth, a U.S. satellite travelling at 10,900 km/h adjusts its orbit and closes in on 2 Chinese satellites until the 3 are almost moving in sync. It passes within 12km.
What looks like a gentle dance could be a rehearsal for war.
China's military textbooks map out exactly what comes next: deterrence, space blockade, offensive strikes.
At a certain rung of the ladder, nothing is off limits: attacks on nuclear sites and energy infrastructure on Earth, launched from orbit, at extremely short notice.
Nobody has ever fought a war up there, and nobody knows where the lines are.

There are reports that shots were fired at the White House Correspondents dinner.
It appears the President has been safely rushed out of the event.
There is no place for political violence in America.
Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House correspondents dinner after shots fired, another assassination attempt
Senator Bernie Moreno says Democrats and the Media call conservatives Nazis, Hitler and fascists hoping someone crazy will hear it and assassinate them
“When you say ‘We're at war and you must do anything you can to make certain that we protect our democracy,’ that is a bat signal to crazy people”
“When the media, for example, in my state, the Cincinnati Enquirer, said that after President Trump was almost assassinated much like Charlie was, that he brought he bought it on himself, quote unquote. That sends a message to crazy people.
When the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the largest newspaper in Ohio, analogizes JD Vance, our great vice president, your friend, my friend, who we know personally, that says that he's a Nazi sympathizer, that he reminds the editor of what it must have been like to be with Nazis in the 30s, it sends a bad signal to crazy people.
It puts us all in danger.”
Democrats and the media are trying to inspire assassinations
“Nobody knows who is in charge, including them. Also, we have all the cards, they have none! If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸
