"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.

Some great news to pass on:
This asshole has passed on!
On election day, no less. Maybe it's a sign.

“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."

I'm with you. But this isn't just about people probably losing their jobs. The boss said don't do it, so if someone logs into the CMS and does it anyway, here comes 18 USC 1030(a)(5).

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!

“Steward Health Care chief executive Ralph de la Torre could face a trial and prison time for ignoring a congressional subpoena, after the US Senate on Wednesday unanimously moved to refer a criminal contempt charge to the Justice Department.”
“Thursday’s vote was the first time since 1971 that the Senate has approved a criminal contempt resolution.”

Yeah, no doubt. I was riffing on “parental controls targeted at teens,” it sounds like they made a feature for teen parents.

I take #LizCheney at her word when she says #DickCheney will also be voting for #KamalaHarris. But I’d really prefer Dick to put out a video statement of his own. Stick some fresh batteries in his blood circulation machine and get him to a camera.

“The former CEO of a small Kansas bank was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison for looting the bank of $47 million — which he sent to cryptocurrency wallets controlled by scammers who had duped him in a ‘pig butchering’ scheme that appealed to his greed, federal prosecutors said.”
This dipshit wrecked a whole town worth of people’s lives.
