Pavement buckling here from the heat. This one isn't too far from us. There were a couple of other incidents, one on an expressway and one in a suburb to the northwest of us. [image: 0_00-Buckling-Steets.mp4-1.png?fit=1920%2C1080&quality=85&strip=all&w=1575&h=886&crop=1]

@wtg said: His entire presidency is a huge branding and money-making exercise. Anyone who thinks he gives a damn about the country is deluding themselves. Exactly.

There are so many logistic, not to mention human rights, problems with this. Oh wait, logistic messes? Human rights violations? Those are right in the Trump administration's wheelhouse.

Guess it's not just happening at Ford. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/01/employers-who-laid-off-workers-for-ai-are-reversing-their-decisions.html

@CHAS said: Somehow that is not comforting. Let’s see if this makes you feel better: Now that human has figured this out, eventually AI will learn it and improve on it.

The eaglets have fledged. Or in one case, fludged. It's an accidental/unintentional fledge. Both babies seem to be doing fine. On Sunday, Sandy fell out of the nest in an accidental fledge. She appeared to be startled by Luna as he attempted to jump over her. Sandy then lost her footing, falling out of the nest in an accidental fledge, or a "fludge." Friends of Big Bear Valley said that Sandy appeared to be on another branch below on Sunday, getting her bearings out of the camera's view. Her mother, Jackie, was there right away to keep an eye on Sandy and has been through this with other eaglets in the past. In an update on Monday, conservationists with the nonprofit said they heard some distant vocals between Jackie and what they believe is Sandy. Then, in a later update, Friends of Big Bear Valley posted a video showing that Sandy was spotted not too far from Luna, midway up in a tree. They said she was moving around and looking good. https://abc7.com/post/jackie-shadows-eaglet-luna-takes-first-flight-1-day-sandy-fell-big-bear-bald-eagle-nest/19415819/
