The Verge / Photo by Bloomberg, Getty Images Geico says it still offers insurance for Tesla’s Cybertruck after some customers reported being dropped by their insurance company for the expensive and unconventional electric truck. Several owners have reported difficulties in procuring coverage for their Cybertrucks, fueling speculation that the insurance industry was refusing to write policies for the truck. The speculation reached a fever pitch this weekend when Torque News reported about a specific case of a Cybertruck owner being informed by Geico that his policy was being terminated. Several owners have posted on Reddit and the Cybertruck Owners Club forum reporting dropped coverage from Geico and State Farm. In an email to The Verge, Geico pushed back. “Geico has coverage...

Illustration: The Verge If you’ve noticed more engagement bait appearing across your Threads feed, you’re not alone. Meta is aware of the issue and looking at how to address it, according to Instagram boss Adam Mosseri. “We’ve seen an increase in engagement-bait on Threads and we’re working to get it under control,” Mosseri said on Threads in response to comments flagging the issue. Engagement bait on Threads typically covers posts with banal questions or invites for open-ended discussions to encourage other users to interact. Because Threads, like Instagram, pushes users to see an algorithmic feed of posts by default, getting more interactions can snowball a simple post into virality. When asked about comparisons between Threads and X in a recent Decoder... Continue reading…

Grocery shelves across Florida are closing up shop in preparation for a category 5 hurricane Milton. The ones that are open have sold out of most items except for the vegan meats substitutes. “I’d rather starve to death than to ingest any of that textured soy product crap,” Petey Wilkes of Tallahassee said. Many have cited popular misconceptions that soy meats, for instance, will make you a weakly Democrat. “My neighbor’s kids grew up completely on that stuff,” Florida resident Lucille Ball said. “And they’re little weirdos now. I could kick their butts!” Gas stations are also running low as people fill up their cars and generators. Ironically, no one seems to be buying more solar panels or windmills to generate energy in case power goes out. US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in on the energy aspect saying that people wouldn’t be in trouble if they had electric cars: Originally published August 31, 2019.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Fans of the popular Call Her Daddy program witnessed a historic event as Vice President Kamala Harris did not require a teleprompter for the first time ever while appearing on the sex podcast.

Some cats chatter, oftentimes when they see prey. But why?

Willie Nelson first performed “Last Leaf,” by Tom Waits in August, likely as a tribute to the fact that he is one of the last surviving artists in the outlaw country genre; however, fans think he is also acknowledging his late friend Kris Kristofferson. Kris died in September after suffering a series of health issues, including memory loss, Lyme disease, and fibromyalgia, although the exact cause of his death is yet to be revealed. Although Willie did not post a tribute on social media, his son Lukas Nelson did, calling Kris his inspiration. The Highwaymen             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Broken Spoke (@brokenspokeaustintx)   Willie’s cover of the 2011 release might as well be a tribute to Kris, as it is a pointer that he is the last of the Highwaymen— their band from the ‘80s. Willie, Kris, and two others, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, formed the group while pioneering the outlaw country genre. Cash and Waylon’s demise in the early 2000s left just Kris and Willie in the group, bringing them closer and performing together on several occasions over the years. Both legends admired each other, with Willie noting that Kris was the best songwriter he had ever known and credited country music’s renaissance to him. @lyndafay64 #fyp #willienelson #thehighwaymen #lastone #viralvideo # ♬ original sound – Lynda   Fans react to ‘Last Leaf’ Willie’s version of “Last Leaf” has sparked conversation among country fans online as they speculate the goal behind the song. Seeing that Willie did not post a tribute but did the track, it just might be his farewell message to his old friend. “Just listened to it. I’ve got chills; so beautiful,” someone commented. Highwaymen/Instagram Another noted that they were thinking of the exact song when they heard the news about Kris’ passing, and another fan said it helped them cope with losing a parent. “My father recently passed a few weeks ago so this was truly a gift. Thank you Willie, you truly are a soul healer. Love you all ways, always,” they wrote.

An alleged fight broke out between the late country singers Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday party, but it still holds different narratives to this day. The incident supposedly happened backstage at Beacon Theater, New York, with witnesses including Ethan Hawke and the celebrant himself. While Ethan insists the physical brawl actually happened, Keith and Kris denied it during their lifetime. More specifically, Keith called the incident a fictitious lie, and Kris termed it as nonsense, even though Ethan detailed the scenario in a Rolling Stones article years later. What really happened between Kris Kristofferson and Toby Keith Toby Keith / Instagram According to Ethan, it all began when Keith approached Willie backstage to wish him a happy birthday in his presence, with Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, and Paul Simon in the room. Keith allegedly made a snide remark about Kris’ political stance, and the latter furiously asked that he repeat himself. Keith cockily turned his back on Kris, who asked to shut up as he has never worn his country’s uniform, served the U.S., or even killed another man in the process. Tensions arose as Kris asked Keith to “shut the f**k up,” and then accused Keith of ruining country music, likening his impact in the genre to what pantyhoses did to fingering. Willie Nelson/ Instagram Kris Kristofferson and Toby Keith responded to the allegations Keith responded to Ethan’s Rolling Stones article at the 2009 ACM awards, noting that he was only trying to make his story interesting by telling a lie for attention. He noted that Ethan mentioned everyone else’s name except his to avoid getting into trouble. Kris Kristofferson/Instagram Kris, on the other hand, gave a more light-hearted reaction, saying he was friends with Keith and Ethan, and that he could not recall the fight. He later claimed that his wife Lisa Meyers remembered the fight, but maintained that he must have forgotten.  Next up: Willie Nelson Performs ‘Last Leaf’ And Has Kris Kristofferson Fans All Emotional The post Did Kris Kristofferson And Toby Keith Truly Fight At Willie Nelson’s 70th Birthday Show? appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
