## Article

Elon Musk killed the tile roof on a Tesla Solar Roof house. Musk made Tesla Energy the company that sold solar tiles as your new roof instead of ugly panels. Tesla Energy just moved the customers over to regular panels in complete silence. The installers got the message loud and clear that the tiles are dead and not financially viable. Musk did not bother with an official sunset. Musk put out the thousand a week pitch for tile roofs to anyone who would listen. The US count sits at about three thousand tile roofs after seven years. Those three thousand roofs sit on real houses. The house that still has tiles is left with Tesla Energy's redirect to regular panels for good.

## Article

The New York Times just lost $9.25 million in Tuscaloosa for naming the wrong passenger. Billy Witz and the Times put walk-on Kai Spears in Brandon Miller's Dodge Charger on one anonymous source. The Times had Spears in the passenger seat while he was blocks away. Cooper Lee was actually in that Charger, and the Times already corrected the story. The Times still rolled into a nine-day trial like the name never happened. Witz apologized on the stand in Tuscaloosa. The Times knew the passenger was wrong before court started. An Alabama jury slammed the Times for $9.25 million. Nearly $7.5 million of that is punitive. The paper of record just took its first US article-defamation loss in over 50 years. The Times spent nine days in federal court on a name they had already corrected. $9.25 million for a Dodge Charger.

## Article

Prince Harry just took a £9.5 million costs bill at the Royal Courts of Justice after an 11-week trial. All 97 of those allegations got dismissed last month at the High Court. Harry had the nerve to call the whole loss a complete and obvious whitewash in public. Mr Justice Nicklin still put indemnity costs on Harry and the six others, including Elton John, who sued Associated Newspapers with him. The publisher had claimed about £34 million in costs for defending the Daily Mail. Harry now has to pay £9,544,355 by August 28 along with the rest of them. He keeps selling a whitewash after the court found no evidence. Harry's costs invoice still says August 28.

## Article

Cogger shouldered Wishart in the head at AAMI Park in Melbourne. Penrith brought Cogger in as the more assured defensive presence they needed and Cogger immediately flies into Wishart in Melbourne like the sure thing they advertised never showed up. Cogger served two weeks already for rushing South Sydney's Ashton Ward. Cogger still comes out of the line the same reckless way. The three-match ban for that grade-two careless high tackle now costs Cogger the first week of finals. Cogger even cops the three-thousand-dollar hip-drop fine on Angus Hinchey during the same game. The Panthers win 22-14 with Cogger contributing two more entries on his report card. Cogger just cannot stay on the field. Cogger's idea of an assured defence is one that keeps writing itself off the park. The opening week of finals now has an empty jumper where Cogger should be.

## Article

Declet charged personal travel to the Exyn card in South Philly. Exyn's former brewery barn at 2118 Washington Avenue did not stop Declet from using the card for himself. Declet loaded the Exyn tab with 287 thousand that belonged to him personally. Exyn's board rewarded Declet with a 482 thousand salary eight days before the probe. Declet took off from Exyn without a severance check. Exyn has to go after Declet to get its funds. Declet turned that South Philly HQ into his charging ground. Declet saw the Exyn card as fair game at 2118 Washington Avenue. The brewery barn at 2118 Washington Avenue paid for Declet's personal travel through Exyn. The company at the former brewery is stuck recovering from Declet's Exyn card use. Exyn is left collecting the 287 thousand Declet billed.

The United pilot on UA2023 left the PA open into Dulles. He called the flight attendants fucking morons. Two hundred fifty passengers got stuck hearing the United pilot lose it for seven full minutes on the Cape Town to Dulles descent. United's pilot had fifteen hours to figure out the hang up button. The seatback screens just sat there saying PA announcement in progress. The cabin crew on United apologized and nobody from the cockpit ever did. United's pilot started yelling they were morons because the attendants would not pick up the phone. He is the United pilot who forgot to hang the mic up. The guy running his mouth about morons left the entire plane on that live PA. The plane sat through United's live mic the entire descent. He never clicked the PA off.

## Article

Chang Liu texted LOL so funny at the leftover Apple login then spent weeks downloading dozens of confidential files while developing hardware for OpenAI. That leftover authentication bug looked hilarious to Liu as he funneled Apple's network storage over to the OpenAI hardware team. Liu just kept downloading after he left Apple like the access was still his to play with. Apple slammed the opposition down August 19 in San Jose NDCA because OpenAI wants the whole thing dismissed ahead of the October 1 hearing. Liu found the leftover login hilarious enough to spend weeks on it while already building the next thing at OpenAI. The files Liu pulled were confidential and he treated the whole leftover situation like a gag. San Jose court is where Liu's LOL moment stops being funny.

## Article

Julio launching a live ball into the Milwaukee stands at American Family Field is what happens when a star center fielder catches a flyout and immediately decides the inning is over. He just made the play and treated it like time to start the celebration, chucking the still-live baseball into the crowd for some lucky fan. Julio handed Milwaukee a souvenir and two extra runs in a game that was already a complete funeral for the Mariners. The guy's out there posing like he ended it when he actually kept the inning going with that throw. Julio turned what should have been a routine out into extra damage because he was already done playing in his head. Julio just chucked Milwaukee a souvenir and two extra runs.

## Article

Medvedev took the LED advertising boards personally after blowing three match points on Brandon Nakashima at 5-4 in the second set. He smashed his racquet into them until they cracked, then kicked the screens as if they were responsible for the sitters he missed. Lahyani issued the code violation while Medvedev moved on to demolishing the microphones by kicking one, knocking over its replacement, and dragging another down with both hands. This dude tore through the setup like the hardware had been the one dumping easy balls all afternoon. The fourth seed keeps acting like he is still in the fight for every single point even though he just used Cincinnati's equipment as his punching bag. Those advertising boards never blew a match point in their existence. Medvedev simply sent the tournament the bill for his own missed sitters and the 51 unforced errors that followed.

## Article

Netflix just dropped a whole K-pop tour on Demon Hunter's Seattle metal name like 25 years and 12 albums never happened. Netflix parked Huntr/X merch and a planned global live tour on that name and still wants everyone to treat Huntr/X as some fresh original from the culture machine. Netflix registered Kpop Demon Hunters for merch after Demon Hunter already had recorded music and merch locked in 2022. Hyde Lane took Netflix to the Central District of California Tuesday because the overlap is almost complete. Someone actually paid 500 dollars for tickets thinking they bought the K-pop show. Netflix can keep their cartoon girl-group circus. Netflix just proved they need a Seattle stage name to even launch the tour.
