Chinese automaker BYD has entered a number of global markets in recent years – including Europe and Mexico – as it continues its rapid expansion beyond the domestic market. Though it doesn’t currently sell vehicles in the U.S., BYD is still considered a major threat by people like Ford CEO Jim Farley, who recently called the brand’s $10k all-electric Seagull model a bigger problem for the automaker than EV mandates. Now, BYD is seemingly about to enter yet another country in North America, too.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

But it's no secret that this time, it's also a rival to the likes of Tesla and Rivian when it goes on sale sometime in 2025 or 2026. But Porsche's also got a back-up plan of sorts if those buyers aren't ready to go fully electric.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
