Help Mohammed's family bear the heavy burdens of life in Gaza

We write to you with hearts filled with sorrow and despair. I am Mohammed, writing on behalf of my family from our tent, where we shiver in the bitter cold of winter after our home was destroyed during this genocide in Gaza.

We invited our biggest fans to show us their favorite things to do on BART during summer break!   Milo took us Cloud Chasing. Enjoy this tour of the Bay Area’s microclimates and spread the love of fog. 🌫️

`The hackers from TU Berlin pointed us to a study by the Netherlands Forensic Institute, an independent division of the ministry of justice and security. In October 2021, the NFI published findings showing it had successfully accessed the onboard memories of all major Tesla models. The researchers compared their results with accident cases in which police had requested data from Tesla. Their conclusion was that while Tesla formally complied with those requests, it omitted large volumes of data that might have proved useful.`

‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing

Elon Musk is obsessive about the design of his supercars, right down to the disappearing door handles. But a series of shocking incidents – from drivers trapped in burning vehicles to dramatic stops on the highway – have led to questions about the safety of the brand. Why won’t Tesla give any answers?

OMG so my parents heard about Zohran from Indian newspapers screaming he is a commie Muslim. So my mom decided to watch some of his speeches and then she says, "Even I was ready to follow him at the end".

I *love* this so much. Dusttodigital features various people singing "Just the two of us" song sun by Bill Withers. A man singing in China, a man singing in a train in Argentina, a woman singing in Australia. Amazing

amazing, butterfly species reintroduced to Presidio thrives!

`A few weeks ago, Kapan was roaming the dunes looking for any descendants of the first release. Nothing. Kapan hiked down to Lobos Creek to scout out some good spots for the next wave of releases—the GGNRA permits had finally cleared. At the creek, two silvery blue butterflies fluttered past his field of vision. These couldn’t have been among the original release, because the butterflies only live in their flying form for a few weeks—and they weren’t tagged. It was the first evidence, after a year, that a few of the butterflies released in 2024 had lived to reproduce. The silvery blue, unconcerned with permits, had begun to repopulate Lobos Creek on its own. `

Beautiful animation about how to improve nesting sites for Western Snowy Plovers by the same guy who did the artwork of birds & animals for BART. I did not know Stevens Creek nature area was such a good nesting ground for these plovers! Damn, I should probably spend more time in Cupertino outside of work.
