My favorite thing about traveling as a paraplegic is the two hours of unpaid advocacy work I have to do every time I check into a hotel.
I’m looking at you, “The Shay a Destination Hotel by Hyatt” in Culver City. 0-2 on ADA compliance so far tonight. Can’t wait to use this “bath bench” tomorrow.

Hey Apple, please allow me to unpin “steps”. I don’t need a reminder that I’m walking much less this year.

Can’t say they’re polarizing if they’re despised by everyone outside of like three zip codes.
From @theathletic.com: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke.
But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? nyti.ms/4rSaLUT

Looks like RFK Jr’s hopped up on the goofballs again
RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

My brand new Hyundai Ioniq 5 has now died for a fourth time in 1400 miles. I am apoplectic. This car has given me back so much of the freedom I lost when I broke my back and severed my spine, but I’m now faced with the prospect of having to start all over with a new car.

not trying to be mean or pick a fight but humanoid robots are 100% a manifestation of a deep-seated desire to have slaves
China dominates the humanoid robot market, capturing more than 90% of global sales. But the race with the U.S. may hinge on something else: software, partnerships, and Tesla’s path to scale https://restofworld.org/2026/china-tesla-robot-race/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky
China leads the humanoid robot race — but the U.S. still has a shot
Scale alone won’t determine the rivalry that hinges on software, partnerships, and Tesla’s path to mass deployment.
