I appreciate your compassion but it is bonkers to pretend that our country’s second largest city doesn’t have a dozen places that could have met her immediate needs.

Yeah, no. She absolutely had control over the Mercedes that she was operating at 130 mph on a surface street, and should have been thrown into prison even if she hadn’t killed anyone. This didn’t just “happen”.

Any inpatient psychiatric hospital can treat an acute psychotic episode related to bipolar disorder. There are at least two freestanding psych hospitals in Los Angeles, and pretty much every hospital with an emergency department is going to have a psych ward with at least a few beds. Large general hospitals may even…

She’s being punished because she murdered 5 people. Don't just glance over that part. Yes, mental health care is abysmal in this county, but she's an obvious danger to society and needs to be locked up. 

She’s in California. There are several state institutions in the Department of State Hospitals. Metropolitan State Hospital is like, 10 miles from LA. There’s also Patton near San Bernardino, but that’s more of a prison. There’s also Atascadero, Coalinga, and Napa State Hospitals. 

To get to 70 quicker? I don’t see the point.

But then why not make the “enhanced” driving test, the standard one? Surely everyone would benefit from the increased driving standards regardless of the vehicle they are driving.

Whelp, I made it.  I’m officially too old to understand what the fuck is going on any more.  

just a tactic to get people to buy before Sep. 5th, basically artificially boosting their 3rd quarter profits in an attempt to raise Tesla stock. How has the SEC not cut Musk’s head off yet?

I’ve never thought of Alonso as a villian... that is such a weird statement.

“Alonso has maintained his status as Formula 1's resident villain for years”

What ever that clapped out shit those 16 year old squatting kids use. It sounds as bad as the trucks look. You can hear them coming a half mile away, and going 2 miles away. It’s like a Harley with 8 cylinders, and 5x as loud. I get it. Me and my friends were dumb kids too. But this generation is some next level shit.…

This person with a front row seat to the accident has probably been re-evaluating lots of things in their lives.

call me a selfish asshole, but the top two concerns i would have had as a driver in that video are getting out of the intersection and getting the fuck away from the flaming gas station.

Good. She should be in jail for an incredibly long time. Why is somebody with 13 previous car crashes allowed anywhere near a motor vehicle? You should have scooter privileges only after multiple documented self-caused wrecks.

Consolidation is not really good from a consumer perspective, even if we as gamers view it as the potential for MS to take over and make better games and improve the work culture. Consolidation is one of the chief aspects of modern corporatism that facilitates monocultures within companies, power abuses from the top…

Does the author expects people to live in pandemic mode for the rest of their lives? Covid is not going away. Between multiple vaccines, advances in treatment and some degree of natural immunity, most people have started to treat Covid as endemic and resumed their regular lives, including health authorities.

If there ever was a good excuse for a slideshow we’d all click through...

An article about Singer, with only TWO photos? And your editor approved this???

btw “big metal cylinders that come out of the pavement” are called traffic bollards
