America is better with Kerik gone

Missoula #weirdcarbs tidbit. There's a guy here with a collection of extremely nice Hudsons, and he used to run his shop/house like a little Hudson museum. But it hasn't been open to the public in quite a while. I think he just got old.

Not looking forward to tomorrow. Local kid went off one of VA's super narrow tree lined roads in the rain, and I gotta take some of his Scout troop to the funeral. Hug your kids and tell them you love them. And make sure they understand even posted speeds can be dangerous at times.

“Mom, can we get a Boeing 747?” “We have a Boeing 747 at home.” Boeing 747 at home:

In 1983, scientists at Motown Records developed a cassette based cure for road rage.

Looks like Avelo sent this 737 to DHN for a whiteout paint job May 7-14 before it started operating ICE deportation flights. Guess it knows that having its full consumer facing livery operate ICE flights is damaging to the brand.

Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse.

an achievable short-term goal for police reform, I think, would be the passing of state laws that say that if you're canned from one law enforcement body for misconduct you can't be hired at another law enforcement body.

Four from Charlotte today. I have a soft spot for the 2017-19 CTS V-Sport in Dark Adriatic Blue Metallic. There were just 679 V-Sports produced in total across the final 3 years of production so this is a rare find. #weirdcarbs #carspotting

turns out treating tourists like shit means they stop coming

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

At Microsoft outlook we have the courage to ask questions like “what if email actively hated you?”

you can tell that is a quality item

"I propose an alternate strategy: I shall fight Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon in a televised cage match, the winner of which gets $2.7 billion in federal grants and the power to uphold or destroy America’s continued technological and economic success." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Just discovered this lovely old PBS documentary made by Rick Sebak in the 90s, which highlights some of the strange, obscure, and memorable landmarks around Pennsylvania's highways and back roads. It's a shame how many are gone now. But they'll live forever on camera. www.pbs.org/video/pennsy...

Just chanced upon this period VW press shot. PR boss: You get those photos of the new Vento VR6? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin' badly lit, just like you asked. PR boss: What?

Range = Length of car

Checking out the Ford Heritage Fleet on my visit to Ford World HQ.

gonna be wild to see how this one plays out

A few highlights from inside the Alpine museum. ‘Le Cube’ (bottom left) is a 1970 urban car concept based on the Renault 4.

They are not considering the offer; they are laughing at it

Enough mini desktop PCs. Bring back mini laptops.

Factoid: The year is 1984, Ford & Vauxhall are battling it out for share in the UK fleet car market & belatedly Austin Rover launches its competitor. Its beleaguered dealers need all the help they can get which is why a promo like this was made & with well-known names too. youtu.be/g8t-Fkf7wYg?...

This is why you’re the dumbest motherfucker alive if you’re an academic who tries to ‘address their concerns’ these people don’t want to have a principled conversation about the appropriateness of diversity statements, professor, they want to destroy your job. You cannot meet them halfway.
