Residents in a “dead-end” street in San Francisco say they are being plagued by an influx of self-driving vehicles.
Autonomous-driving firm Waymo’s cars have been going up and down the cul-de-sac at all hours “for weeks”, according to local news station KPIX.
Residents say vehicles sometimes have to queue before making multi-point turns to leave the way they came.
Waymo says the vehicles are just “obeying road rules” designed to limit traffic in certain residential streets.

Vienna’s tourism board has started an account on OnlyFans – the only social network that permits depictions of nudity – in protest against platforms’ ongoing censorship of its art museums and galleries.
The NYPD’s hate crime unit is hunting for a woman who poured gasoline on a Yeshiva in Brooklyn and set it alight, as New York City’s crimewave continues.
The incident took place Thursday night at around 7:27 pm, according to police. They received a call for an arson incident outside the Yeshiva of Flatbush on Avenue J.

Covid-19 ‘vaccine lottery’ schemes across 19 states had no noticeable effect on vaccination rates and may have squandered millions in tax dollars, according to newly published research that suggests the programs were a major flop.
Published in the JAMA medical journal on Friday, the pre-print study by researchers at the University of Colorado Denver showed that the links between vaccine lottery announcements and inoculation rates were “very small in magnitude” and “statistically indistinguishable from zero.”
New York City’s war on drugs is over. The junkies won.
The New York Police Department waved the white flag last week — upon orders to surrender from Albany — directing officers to let drug addicts freely shoot up on city streets, and even let them share needles.
“Effective immediately, members of the service should not take any enforcement action against any individual who possesses a hypodermic needle, even when it contains residue of a controlled substance,” states a directive to NYPD commanders issued last Friday and obtained by The Post.
On Friday morning, U.S. Capitol Police arrested a 25-year-old woman who was brandishing a bat. During the altercation with police, the young woman allegedly bit one of the officers.

In East Lansing, Michigan, multiple elementary schools have announced the sudden cancellation of the celebrations of two beloved holidays, Halloween and Valentine’s Day, baselessly claiming that these holidays represent discrimination against some students, as reported by USA Today.

Shocked and saddened by the killing of a long-serving British MP on Friday, Canadian politicians say the threat of a similar incident in Canada appears to be growing.
David Amess, 69, was fatally stabbed around noon on Friday while meeting with constituents in Leigh-on-Sea, a town about 62 kilometres east of London.
The Conservative lawmaker had been a member of Parliament for 38 years.
“The MP who was murdered was doing something that we all do as members of Parliament,” said Lisa Raitt, a former Conservative MP and cabinet minister.
Except they don’t mention the Stabby Islamist Terrorist part for some reason, the “far right” pebble pelters get mention though.
OTTAWA — Military police say they are investigating “historic” allegations of sexual misconduct involving yet another senior commander, this time the officer responsible for human resources in the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service revealed the investigation involving Lt.-Gen. Steven Whelan on Friday night, five months after he was installed as the head of military personnel command, which is responsible for everything from recruitment to promotions to health care.

U.S. will allow Canadians who had mixed doses of COVID-19 vaccines when border crossings resume Nov. 8
There is good border news for Canadians who want to visit the United States but who received mixed doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
The White House confirmed Friday morning that land border crossings for vaccinated non-essential travellers will resume on Nov. 8. And later in the day, the Centers for Disease Control confirmed that it will consider those who have received doses of two different vaccines to be fully vaccinated for purposes of entering the country.
The death of Sir David Amess was today being treated as a terror attack ‘linked to Islamist extremism’ as officers raided two homes in London and a British Muslim man of Somali descent remained in police custody.
Sir David was holding a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, when a knifeman in the church building launched a frenzied attack. The 69-year-old politician was wounded at least 12 times and died at the scene.
Horrified constituents waiting to see the veteran MP, who has campaigned to help refugees, watched in horror as the assailant leapt on him just after midday. Shortly after midday, the knifeman waited calmly in line after booking in at the constituency surgery before launching the fatal attack, according to witnesses.
The conventional wisdom from the left is that COVID is the reason that shipping containers are in the waters off California with no stevedores or truckers available to take care of them. The implication is that if people would stop being selfish and take the vaccines, the whole problem would magically vanish. That’s nonsense. As a couple of astute articles explain, the problem is that California has passed two laws — one for “climate change” and the other as a sop to the unions — that destroyed much of California’s trucking industry. Add in woes unique to the industry and COVID payments that discourage people from working and…voilà!…empty Christmas stockings.
