A 28-year-old motorcyclist died in Washington State on Friday afternoon because a dipshit Tesla driver rear-ended him at speed. A Snohomish man, 56, was commuting in his 2022 Tesla Model S when he activated the car’s camera-based advanced driver assist system and according to his statements to police, began looking through his phone. With nobody paying attention to the car’s actions, the Tesla software ignored Jeffrey Nissen on his motorcycle and continued on at speed. The car rear-ended the two-wheeler, Nissen was flung from the bike, and his life ended pinned underneath the electric car, where he was still lodged when police arrived to the scene.
Tesla claims another life.
Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.
My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.
Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.
depicting sexual assault in media is not an endorsement of it 🤝 it's reasonable for audiences to expect a certain level of care and awareness in its presentation 🤝 there is oftentimes an over-reliance on sexual violence in creating the backstories, trajectories, and conflicts of fictional women 🤝 sexual violence is prevalent in society and stories about it do need to be told as a reflection of our reality 🤝 sometimes male writers and directors are extremely bad at telling these stories and audiences are justified in demanding better
thinking about randy and benson being "mirrors" for each other but like they really are total inverses, like randy relinquishes agency completely to avoid hurting other people while benson is the sole driver of the plot and has no qualms about collateral damage, randy's mother is "over-parenting" while benson has to take care of his own mother and gets no support from her, randy is haunted by intense guilt over hurting a teacher who was nothing but kind while benson is haunted presumably by the trauma of being targeted by a predatory teacher, randy internalizes all of his feelings while benson externalizes his own, randy accommodates while benson constantly challenges. two sides of the same coin etc etc etc
I think the passenger is a very good film that explores two very vastly different characters and the way they process trauma and how it makes them both incapable of moving on and showing that in the way they both seem stuck in the town the trauma took place in. I also think they should've kissed nasty.
