These 2 cars have been the best purchase we have made as a family for a number of reasons: 1) Safety. Teslas have the highest scores on safety tests worldwide. 2) The drive and handling is far superior to any legacy vehicle. Instant throttle response and plenty of power makes…
"No, Renewables Didn’t Cause Spain’s Grid Blackout" A useful repost to those who have been desperate, since the moment it happened, to try and pin the blame for the Iberian blackout on renewables bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Ahh, the magic roundabout…I don’t miss that!

They played Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar soundtrack in Cologne Cathedral. Surreal.
Sizewell C, a 3.2GW nuclear power plant, has been in development since 2012, 13 years ago. In 2020, we learned it will cost £20b. In 2025, the likely cost increased to £40b ($53b). It will likely end up costing £60b when and if it's built by 2040, 28 years after development…
Eye-opening chart. Singapore has one of the highest economic freedom scores in the world, economic freedom leads do prosperity. The UK followed different path, left policies make everyone just poorer. It’s really that simple.
If the Government is interested in tax reform, we have some ideas. Between taxing the gas industry, fixing tax loopholes and ending fossil fuel subsidies, these changes could raise up to $63 billion, supporting better services and reducing inequality. ▶️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/5-suggest…

Oh dear, this post got ratio’d so bad, I’ll be surprised if it isn’t deleted soon. x.com/guydealership/…
Tesla’s direct-to-consumer model is leaving many drivers in frustration. Don Hall, CEO of the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association, breaks down why the franchise system still protects the customer. "The truth of the matter is this: we live in your communities, we're part of…
iOS/ iPadOS 26 Beta 3….is a bit chunky at ~9.25Gb. Interesting, given the Liquid Glass effects have been dialled back more than I’d like.
~70% of psychologists and therapists are women and this is steadily increasing. Women access anti-depressants at a rate 3x higher than men. Men suicide at a rate 3x higher than women. Maybe the issue is men need help that is non-judgemental which maybe explains why they’re…
But other manufacturers will be catching up and overtaking Tesla’s FSD “soon”? Don’t believe the narrative….nobody else has the training data or compute power to come anywhere close.

The media are desperate.
I’ve heard this a few times this morning now. From the outside it’s easy to make assumptions so I want to add clarity. Hopefully this helps, even if you disagree. EVERYONE that was invited in this first wave, and some that were allowed to tag along, have 💯 been taken out of…
.🤯 My Tesla Model Y just parked itself INTO MY GARAGE! I thought it was going for the driveway, which is also amazing but NO - it reversed right into the garage because the garage door was open! Full Self-Driving (13.2.9) just keeps surprising me. The future is HERE. 🔥…

Watch Huawei Aito M9 with ADS activated hit a tipped-over vehicle. Driver claims the system didn’t warm or attempt to swerve to avoid it. He had to brake manually at 93 km/h in a fraction of a second before hitting it. It was too late with a too short stop distance. ADS is…
On Monday I captured 225,000 photos of the moon to create this 500 gigabyte composite showing more detail and color depth than usually possible through a telescope. Here's a thread about how it was captured, but make sure to load in 4k and zoom in first!
After spending almost 6 years at #Palantir, I know something about what they do and what they don't do. As a result, I want to address the inaccuracies in the 6/30 @nytimes article that's been picked up by multiple outlets this week. 🧵 1/11 nytimes.com/2025/05/30/tec…
