'House of the Dragon' Season 2's Targaryen family tree: How everyone connects

A new season of House of the Dragon means we're back in the trenches of parsing the Targaryen family tree. That process can be tough for a number of reasons: the sheer number of characters, their similar names (seriously, does George R.R. Martin get paid by the "ae"?), and of course, all that incest. So if you've ever asked yourself the question "Who is that?" or "How are they related again?," you've come to the right place.

Cybertruck buyers are reporting delivery delays due to windshield wiper issue

You're not going to believe it but folks who bought a Tesla Cybertruck are reportedly running into problems with the purchase. OK, well actually, you might believe it, considering Elon Musk's Minecraft-esque truck has had quite a few issues since it began shipping out last year. Tesla had to cancel production and eventually order a recall of the Cybertruck because it had an issue where the accelerator pedal would get stuck, effectively flooring the vehicle by accident. It has a front trunk that could seemingly slice off your finger at a moment's notice. Plus, a detailed Reuters investigation showed a whole host of big issues, including wheels flying off and broken axles on nearly new cars. Now we can apparently add defective windshield wipers to the list of problems. SEE ALSO: The Cybertruck's failure is now complete Cybertruck buyers had apparently begun reporting delays in delivery of their purchase due to an issue with the truck's windshield wipers.

According to a new investigative report by Reuters , the Pentagon ran a year-long vaccine disinformation campaign using social media bots — all part of an anti-China political play built on problematic COVID-19 disinformation. One part of a larger, locally-targeted anti-vax campaign around the world, the propaganda efforts sought to discredit the validity of China’s Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine among internet users in the Philippines, where the vaccine had been deployed. Messaging included the phrase #Chinaangvirus, reportedly Tagalog slang for "China is the virus." SEE ALSO: How do we navigate climate disinformation online? Reuters reports that the campaign was reportedly run to "undermine China’s growing influence in the Philippines," after the vaccines and other public health interventions were made readily available.
