Recent Bluessky Posts- Well that certainly should encourage quality hires. NB it doesn't yet include the flagship. February 5, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Good question. All I know is they asked me what I thought of Uber and Lyft as well, and to be fair also said a few mildly negative things about Uber, but the real venom was for Waymo. Maybe it was sponsored by Lyft? February 5, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Good news: "two doses of the vaccine [are] about 97% effective at preventing the disease if you are exposed to the virus.” Bad news: as best I can tell this is a per exposure measure, so if you're exposed to lots of measles, your chance of catching it goes up. So, five exposures 85%, ten 72%? February 5, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Just got an anti-Waymo push poll which appears to be funded by Uber. Full of stuff about how dangerous Waymo cars are, and don't I hate them now? February 5, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- ‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’ February 5, 2026 Kathleen Clark
