It’s the kind of nightmare scenario we’ve been talking about for over a decade. Google Maps algorithms experienced an integrity breach that shut down German national infrastructure.

Confusion reigned on German autobahns and highways at the start of one of the busiest holiday breaks of the year on Thursday after Google Maps wrongly indicated that vast swathes of them were closed.

People using the navigation service around major conurbations such as Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin on motorways between western, northern, south-western and central Germany were confronted with maps sprinkled with a mass of red dots indicating stop signs. The phenomenon also affected parts of Belgium and the Netherlands.

Someone had the bright idea to setup a Robotaxi cage match in San Francisco. Waymo and Tesla were given the same route and only one of them didn’t break the law, didn’t run a red light.

During the last half-mile of the trip, the Tesla came to a stop at a red light, only to then drive through the intersection before the light turned green. […] “At this point,” they wrote, “we thought the winner was clear.”

To be clear, Tesla engineers occasionally have warned their libertarian/sovereign work ethic sees red lights and stop signs as government overreach and therefore optional.

Tesla is disabling a self-driving feature in nearly 54,000 vehicles that can prompt cars to autonomously perform a “rolling stop” — a maneuver in which the vehicle moves slowly through a stop sign without coming to a full stop.

As per a safety recall notice issued by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the consequence of this feature is that “failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash.”

In other words the latest Tesla Robotaxi algorithm in 2025 was leaking an integrity vulnerability, which is likely an intentional and very old design flaw.

Putin had appointed Zaur Aleksandrovich Gurtsiev deputy mayor in Russia as reward for his military role in the invasion of Ukraine. He just died in an explosion, similar to the ones he unleashed on Ukranian civilians.

“Gurtsiev, despite his relatively young age, led the air part of the operation to [invade] Mariupol.”

“He introduced his developments in the technology of targeting missiles, which allowed them to increase their accuracy and effectiveness many times over, including hitting the Azov supply base.”

Russian forces seized control of the port city of Mariupol in 2022 following a brutal 86-day siege – one of the deadliest and most destructive battles since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago.

Fascists love to destroy meaning in language, because it allows them to say up is down and failure is their success. When nothing means anything, they can always be right and stay in power no matter how absurd their language devolves.

SpaceX’s latest unmanned Starship launch at first went off without a boom on Tuesday, but eventually broke up almost an hour after it took off.

After two test flights ended in dramatic explosions earlier this year, SpaceX’s ninth test of its Starship vehicle experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” on Tuesday, May 27, SpaceX confirmed on X. That’s the same language used when Starship’s January and March flight tests unexpectedly exploded in the sky.

Notably, critics point to anti-diversity initiatives at SpaceX as causing accelerating brain drain, leaving the company in a state of rapid unscheduled disassembly (an aerospace phrase well known since the 1980s).

“With a test like this, success comes from what we learn…” [said] Musk, who called the flight test a “big improvement” from the last one…. This time around the booster catch was not attempted as SpaceX said it prioritizes… Mars. The team lost connection with its the booster, which had been expected to land in the Gulf of America. SpaceX was also unable to release eight mock objects resembling Starlink internet satellites as the ship’s door would not open wide enough, according to Hewitt. In another hiccup, the spacecraft started spinning, causing it to head toward the Indian Ocean for an uncontrolled landing… later confirmed that SpaceX eventually also lost contact with the ship itself, concluding Starship flight test nine. “We were not able to do a lot of our own orbit objectives today…

So much whiffing at bat by SpaceX throwing billions of dollars away, missing the ball entirely and causing massive environmental destruction, that… the pitcher throwing strikes soon will be so exhausted he’ll be forced to declare the other team the winner!

Isn’t that how American baseball works now?

The rich kid with the emerald encrusted stainless steel bat, popping pills and throwing Hitler salutes to his six pregnant wives, is declared the big winner after he strikes out over and over again?

The contrast between SpaceX’s wasteful WWII-era (Nazi) approach and NASA’s more modern and methodical Cold War program with democratic regulation becomes clear when comparing the development philosophies and cost management.

Claiming “big improvements” when the primary vehicle is consistently lost illustrates how fascist propaganda frames progress, through selective emphasis on partial achievements, basically lying about gross harms, inefficiency and loss.

SpaceX maintains strict drug-free workplace policies for employees due to its government contracts. However, those insiders tell the Times that Musk received advance warning of random drug tests – undermining their effectiveness.

SpaceX mission objectives – deploying satellites, completing orbital maneuvers, demonstrating reentry – ALL REPEATEDLY FAILED AT HUGE COST.

• Satellite deployment: FAIL (door wouldn’t open)
• Orbital maneuvers: FAIL (spacecraft started spinning)
• Controlled reentry: FAIL (lost contact, uncontrolled landing)
• Mission completion: FAIL (lost vehicle)

Repeatedly calling big failures a success makes accountability impossible, as the Nazis proved so dramatically in the late 1920s. The contrast in governance should be obvious:

• NASA’s methodical approach delivered actual Mars landings starting in 1976 (Viking), followed by 50 years of successful missions like Pathfinder, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance

  

• SpaceX’s “spectacular failure show” approach, promised to have a man walking on Mars by 2018 and colonization by 2021, has yet to complete even basic orbital objectives
