1. They hope to make a quick exit.

2. They want to reduce the chance of getting hit.

3. They enjoy displaying their skill even if little is actually accomplished and it takes longer than necessary.

4. It’s basically just become a habit now.

5. New cameras and sensors make it easier than ever before.

6. They enjoy a moment of control and power in an otherwise chaotic world.

7. Conditions will be more hazardous later if they don’t use this maneuver now.

8. Their dads and grandads did it, too.

9. They must protect the defenseless Americans walking through this Trader Joe’s parking lot.

10. To distract from the Epstein files.

Apple Newsroom:

Apple and Ford today announced that Apple Maps will be integrated directly into Ford’s upcoming Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) Platform through Apple’s new MapKit for Automotive SDK.

David Brazeal knows how to make AI do his bidding. He live-streams high school football games at RepublicTigerSports.com and he needed an intro (16 seconds). Told Claude Code I wanted a 1980s-style retro broadcast sports intro to run through the … Continue reading →

A Tesla solar customer went to pull up their lease agreement in their Tesla account this month and found something other than a contract waiting for them: the Book of Enoch, an ancient apocalyptic text about fallen angels.

Not a scanned copy of their agreement. Not an error page. The full text of a roughly 2,000-year-old religious book, sitting exactly where their legally binding solar lease was supposed to be. Electrek confirmed it.

A post's text is written by its author and then shown to everyone who reads the timeline, which means anything hidden inside it runs in every reader's browser. Until today the server stored a post's text exactly as it arrived, so a post could carry markup that did more than format words. As of server v0.6.3, every post passes through a cleaner on its way into the database. Ordinary writing comes through untouched -- links, bold and italic, quotes, lists, and pasted images are all kept -- but anything that could run code is removed before the post is ever stored. Because the cleaning happens as the post is written, it protects every reader of every feed and timeline at once, and no old or unusual browser can slip past it. Both public servers, rss.chat and demo.rss.chat, are already running it. Thanks to the reader who reported this privately.

This is the first of a kind of note you'll see here from now on: when a change matters to people running their own installs, the steps to update will live right here in worknotes. For this one:

1. Get the new rssnetwork.js and package.json from the repo.

2. In your server's folder, run npm install. The updated package.json adds one package -- the cleaner -- and this brings it in.

3. Restart the server.

That is the whole update. Nothing in your config or your database changes, and the cleaner applies to new and edited posts the moment you restart.

Today there is a vote scheduled on the Stop Insider Trading Act, a GOP-led bill meant to curb insider trading in Congress but somehow excludes the Trump administration.

The lunatics in the House then attached a voter-identification provision to the measure, which would kill it from any Democratic support.

I will continually say, Trump's AI has told him and his staff the only way to win the 2026 midterms is to stop people from voting using the Save Act.

However, Trump's Congressional protection racket is in full swing here on CNBC as Rep. Brian Steil, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, defends Trump not being included as some sort of perfection that is impossible to happen.

Researchers in the Gulf of California have documented a dramatic orca behavior never described before. In two separate encounters, one orca gripped a dead sunfish by the fin while another charged into it at high speed, blasting the carcass into thousands of pieces.

Scientists may be able to reliably forecast Antarctic ice loss through the middle of this century, offering governments a vital head start on sea level rise. After that, unstable ice retreat could accelerate dramatically, making the future much harder to predict.

A 25-year study found that frequent consumption of soda, sports drinks, and fruit juice beginning in childhood was linked to a higher risk of high blood pressure in adulthood. Swapping one daily drink for whole fruit, milk, or water could significantly reduce that risk.

Researchers found that specific brain circuits help decide which jobs bees perform as they age. When those circuits were switched off, older worker bees began caring for the queen again instead of carrying out their normal later-life duties. The findings reveal that a bee colony’s complex division of labor may be guided by neural switches hidden inside each bee’s brain.

NASA is preparing for future astronaut landings on the Moon with an unusually ambitious orbital rehearsal. During Artemis III in 2027, Orion astronauts will rendezvous and dock separately with prototype lunar landers from Blue Origin and SpaceX, allowing crews and ground teams to test the complex maneuvers needed for later missions.

A giant planet had been hiding inside one of astronomy’s most closely studied planetary systems, concealed by a bright disk of cosmic dust. Webb revealed Beta Pictoris d through atmospheric traces of carbon monoxide, water vapor, and methane, showcasing a promising new method for finding elusive exoplanets.

A plant-derived compound reduced swelling, inflammation, and joint damage in rats with rheumatoid arthritis. It also helped rebalance immune activity and improve the way certain fats were processed in the body. Researchers say the findings could lead to a new approach for treating the disease.

Researchers have developed a fluoride-free gel that could help rebuild damaged tooth enamel, something the body cannot naturally replace once it is lost. Inspired by the proteins that guide enamel formation in infancy, the gel fills microscopic cracks and draws calcium and phosphate from saliva to grow a new mineral layer that closely matches healthy enamel.

A global shift toward healthier diets could sharply reduce livestock farming, free up agricultural land, and cut emissions from land-use change by 85% by 2050. At the same time, fruit, vegetable, nut, and legume production could soar, creating a sweeping transformation of what the world grows and eats.
