What We're Talking About

The news we couldn't ignore if we tried

Idiots In LA Throw Waymo Passengers Into Danger

TMZ— A viral video shows a Waymo vehicle carrying passengers making a routine left turn directly into the middle of an active LAPD standoff, where officers had guns drawn around a prone suspect amid backup units and a helicopter. Instead of stopping or rerouting like a human driver might, the autonomous car continued through the scene before quickly clearing the area, and Waymo later reported the riders arrived safely. The episode joins a series of recent mishaps involving the company’s self-driving cars in Los Angeles, including run-ins with police, disruptions during protests, and even incidents where vehicles were damaged in downtown clashes.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Business of Popping Corn Day

Business of Popping Corn Day is the one time a year we all pretend popcorn wasn’t invented by a bored Native American with a hot rock and too much time. It’s a tribute to the booming snack empire built on exploded corn and false optimism—because nothing says capitalism like charging eight bucks for thirty cents of fluff.
