"Five police officers are suing Tesla after being injured by a Model X that plowed into them while they were conducting a routine traffic stop. The incident took place on February 27, 2021, when an allegedly impaired driver over-relied on the Model X's 'Autopilot' system, which reportedly gave off 150 warnings to take control of the vehicle in a 34-minute time span."

🥥 Satirist #GaryLegum puts the words in Mr Justice #ClarenceThomas's mouth to help us little people understand why so many #billionaires enjoy the jurist's company so much.
' "Suckers” is my affectionate nickname for the ordinary Americans whose company I would surely enjoy if all my billionaire friends did not monopolize my time. For that, I suppose I’m sorry. Or I would be if I ever flew commercial.' 🥥 https://www.wonkette.com/p/grubby-rich-people-fer-clarence-thomas

Four out of five dentists agree to never to tell where the fifth one is buried.

We generally think that over-fishing is about fish that humans eat. But around a third of all wild-caught fish are turned into fishmeal, because fishmeal is around 65% protein and therefore in demand for for feeding farmed fish and pigs. It's an almost invisible trade with huge consequences. But it's not an efficient way to make more protein. We need to re-think these links and ask whether it's really worth the damage to the ocean & communities.#ocean #fish #fishmeal

Not so breaking news: Hunter Biden is not running for public office.

With the stroke of their pens, six unelected Supreme Court justices blocked student debt relief, ended affirmative action, and made it easier to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people

What happened to the belief that the Supreme Court had no role in legislating?

Journalists/writers covering #MauiFires or any of the climate-related disasters would benefit from clearer understandings of connections globally across colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, racism, international development, patriarchy to #ClimateChange. I hope these help but feel free to ask!
