“Three men wearing MAGA hats and Department of Government Efficiency T-Shirts stormed several offices inside San Francisco City Hall Friday demanding that workers hand over documents, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The employees refused their requests and called sheriff’s deputies, at which time the individuals fled the building.”

“Sources tell WIRED that the highest ranks of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)—essentially the human resources function for the entire federal government—are now controlled by people with connections to Musk and [#Tesla, #xAI, #Neuralink, the Boring Company, and #Palantir].”
One new high-ranking OPM employee just graduated high school in 2024.

"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."
Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

Amazon has cancelled its secret "fertility tracker device" project. In other news, Amazon had a secret "fertility tracker device" project.
The program was ended in late October but apparently someone is just now talking to CNBC about it.

“Ahead of the election, anti-government militias are using Facebook to recruit, coordinate training, and promote ballot box stakeouts. Meta isn’t shutting their groups down and is even auto-generating pages.”

Alaska's education commissioner drafted a proposal banning students from using cellphones at school, citing multiple studies linking cellphone distractions to poor academic achievement. The state Board of Education voted to approve the ban.
Just one problem: most of the studies cited in the policy don't exist; they were hallucinated by bullshit-generator machines ("AI"). This crap is now guiding public policy!

Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.
Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

US Marshals arrest wrong man in Ohio, extradite him to Memphis where he spends 5 months in jail. The actual suspect had already been in jail the whole time — and they still didn’t release the innocent guy right away once they realized their fuckup!
