Austin's streets are already a battleground between futuristic ambition and public safety after only a handful of Tesla Robotaxis invaded ATX with erratic driving, unsafe drop-offs, and reported traffic violations. It’s effectively like SxSW in July!  You’ve probably seen the viral videos; your eyes aren’t lying, an ongoing NHTSA probe underscores the growing concerns.  🤖🚕💥


ByteDance is creating a new, dedicated TikTok app for the US market to comply with a US law demanding the platform's divestment to prevent a ban. This separate app, internally called "M2", is launching around September 2025; we presume it will smell more American. 🇺🇸 Eventually all US TikTok users will need to switch to this new version, or risk the alternative, reading a book instead. 📖


In happier news, our good friend technology advances medical science, yet again! 🧑‍🔬🧪📈 Moderna's mRNA-1010 flu vaccine achieved 27% superior efficacy over standard shots in a Phase 3 trial. The vaccine, showing strong results across flu strains and a mild side effect profile, paves the way for regulatory approval and potential COVID-19 combination vaccines, marking a significant advance in influenza prevention.  Time will tell if the vaccine is durable enough to survive the uninformed opinions of those with dead parasitic brain worms.  🤷
