Y’all hear about this?..
Tesla is unveiling its long-awaited robotaxi amid doubts about the technology it runs on. For the record, most doubts have nothing to do with their self-driving capability and everything to do with their ability to avoid assuming which radio stations customers want to listen to based on race. “No, car… I do not want to listen to Mahalia Jackson on my way to the club!”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on social media that “they” control the weather, without indicating who “they” might be. Given her stance on other issues, it’s very likely she’s referring to Elliot Page.
An explosion of particles from a solar storm is expected to reach Earth today. The particles could spawn Northern Lights, turn off power grids, or — in the worst superhero origin story ever — give one lucky person Donald Trump’s skin condition.
A bidding war is brewing for Alex Jones’ media empire. The highest bidder is currently a large, exasperated man in a green screen suit with a photo of Jon Hamm stapled onto the face area — who keeps saying “I’m not Alex Jones” unprompted.
Finally…
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared on a Twitch stream of the popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft for an unorthodox voter outreach event. Kamala Harris is cautiously delighted about his reports of a bipartisan coalition among Centaurs.
