A Day of Hope: 118 Laughs, Tears, and New Citizens

A Day of Hope: 118 Laughs, Tears, and New Citizens

Today, 118 people put on the word AMERICAN for the first time, on purpose, in a room with vaulted wood beams and white fabric draped across the ceiling like something built for a wedding, not a government ceremony.

Tesla maps a tiny Robotaxi zone in Miami while it still can’t scale Texas

Tesla has mapped out a Robotaxi service area in Miami, publishing a geofence that covers only a small slice of the metro — mostly West Miami and a strip stretching toward Doral and Sweetwater.

Tesla driver charged with manslaughter in Katy crash was Googling ā€˜FSD too timid’

Harris County prosecutors have charged the Tesla driver who crashed into a Katy, Texas, home and killed a 76-year-old woman with manslaughter, alleging he overrode Full Self-Driving to floor the car to 73 mph in a residential cul-de-sac.

The charging document also reveals something new: in the weeks before the crash, the driver had been Googling that FSD wasn’t aggressive enough.

Few foods feel more American than the hot dog, a mainstay at ballparks, street carts and Fourth of July barbecues. But to simply call hot dogs ā€œAmericanā€ is to miss a whole lot of nuance, and potentially offend local connoisseurs across the country.
