A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: A parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

Instead, she got Rosales signed up for the college’s Safe Parking Program, and everything flipped on its head. Understanding that some students don’t have cars, LBCC too offers much more than the Safe Parking Program. Of the Safe Parking Program, he said, “This is where I lived, and I expected to live for three years. But gathering participants in the Safe Parking Program, helping them — now he could add value to someone. “I never thought I was going to get out of here,” he said of the Safe Parking Program. 🖊️️🤖

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

LOS GATOS, CA—In an attempt to fend off growing competition from Paramount and Netflix, Plex CEO Keith Valory announced Monday that the streaming platform had submitted a $35 bid for Warner Bros. “Plex has become synonymous with free-to-watch, ad-supported entertainment in recent years, reaching over 10 million Google searches in 2023. Where else other than Tubi can you watch reruns of Rucker’s Reno alongside films like USS Indianapolis: Men Of Courage? We think Warner Bros. shareholders will be very pleased by our handsome offer. David Zaslav, the ball is in your court.” At press time, executives were hoping to sweeten the deal by throwing in a half-eaten bag of SunChips. 🖊️️🤖

SpaceX Is Buying Up an Unfathomable Number of Cybertrucks

Now that EV tax incentives have gone up in smoke, Tesla is expected to disappoint once again with its Q4 sales. But that hasn’t stopped Tesla CEO Elon Musk from seemingly putting his thumb on the scales. As an insider source told Electrek, the billionaire’s space company SpaceX has bought over 1,000 Cybertrucks from Tesla, a number that could rise to 2,000 over time. A video circulating on Musk’s social media platform, X, shows an enormous number of Cybertrucks parked outside of SpaceX’s facilities in South Texas. As Musk continues to alienate his customers following his embrace of far-right ideologies, the company is struggling to close sales. 🖊️️🤖

📰 Elon Musk and Far-Right German Leader Agree ‘Hitler Was a Communist’ (direct link), posted in SERIOUS NEWS ONLY (👍25 👎2)

Elon Musk and Far-Right German Leader Agree ‘Hitler Was a Communist’

On Thursday, Elon Musk agreed with the leader of a far-right German political party that Adolf Hitler was a communist and that left-wing groups who support Palestinian causes have more in common with Nazis than with her own party. The deeply weird and disinformation-filled conversation between Musk and Alice Weidel, the leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD), took place on X. “[Hitler] was a communist, and he considered himself as a socialist,” Weidel said in response to Musk asking about media reports linking the AfD to Nazism. “He wasn’t a conservative, he wasn’t a libertarian, he was a communist, socialist guy, and we are the opposite.”“Right,” Musk responded. This is something Musk picked up on in an op-ed he penned last month for a German newspaper. 🖊️️🤖
