@w7voa So 14 strikes. The conventional wisdom has been that the Iraq war was over. That just means ground troops or??

@acrousey @depereo @w7voa yeah I’ve been gone for 20+ yrs. Once Branstad installed Reynolds they knew they could grab all the reactionary things they wanted AND get a big piece of the 25 billion dollar farm bailout when trump killed the pork market with his overnight tariffs. They’ve always been craven. They don’t have to hide it anymore.

@w7voa why are we still pretending MBS is our ally? He’s actively sandbagging our elected leaders and killing US journalists.

In the Washington Post, my take on Tesla Autopilot:

“Even if [Tesla owners] accept [Autopilot's risks], what about everyone on a public road or street who is not in a Tesla? None of us signed on to be a guinea pig.”

Is Tesla liable if a driver dies on Autopilot? Juries will now decide.

The trial over a fatal crash is the first in a string of cases involving Autopilot that will be litigated around the country in the coming months.

@devans143 @w7voa it’s a diesel sub probably 70s ex-Russian. I’d bet the US Navy could hear it leave port from Japan.
