He's a 24-year-old cop doing his job. To quote a well-worn phrase from other contexts: "If they don't want to get pulled over, they need to just obey the law."

This is the second large-sample poll in the past week (Marist being the other) showing independents stampeding away from Trump and toward Biden. Stampeding. Turns out running as a newly convicted felon may be harder than some people predicted.

Kia’s EV3 could cost as little as $22,500 to $27,500 after US EV tax credits because it will be built in Mexico. This is how you convince more people to buy EVs, not betting your company on bullshit robotaxis.

Anyone driving late at night in a small town will draw the attention of law enforcement. Anyone driving erratically late at night in a small town will get pulled over. Don't drink and drive in a small town. Or big city. Or anywhere. At least he was ROR'd so he won't have to forget tomorrow.

That Elon Musk managed to railroad Tesla shareholders to the tune of USD $56bn a year in comp, thanks in no small part to Aussie chair Robyn Denholm, speaks volumes about how hopelessly captured they are. They've embarrassed themselves in hope of a return to a valuation that's in the distant past.

I would not be surprised if one day Alito released a statement to Fox News along the lines of: "Mrs. Alito and I share a laptop, but I had no idea she would download the Dobbs decision draft and leak it to the media. I was not involved and so there is no need for me to resign."

Heckling has always been part of the deal - not just for comics but for all entertainers. It's unpleasant and stupid and people who heckle are, by and large, maladjusted idiots or drunks. Lately it seems to be getting much worse.
