BYD have released pricing on their Tesla Model Y killer in NZ. To save you a click, this Chinese newcomer has more toys, more comfort, more range & less cost than the yank. The only question is... are they too late to market in this VERY saturated segment? www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWaP...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

“VOTING FOR THE MAYOR WHO PROMISED TO BLOW UP THE CITY DOESN’T MEAN I APPROVE OF THE MAYOR BLOWING UP THE CITY” A masterclass from @mikedrucker.bsky.social

Spoken like a true dictator.

Psycho Bob: I'm going to make America healthy again. MAHA! America: Sweet! Affordable health care for all! PB: Uhm, no. We are repealing the ACA. Gutting Medicare/Medicaid. We love private insurance. America: Wut? How about cheaper prescriptions? PB: No. we're taking away price caps ...

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

Really enjoyed recording a podcast with the brilliant Adam Chapman, aka 'The Heat Geek.' I learned so much listening to him, he's passionate, realistic and incredibly knowedgable. He knows heat pumps work and he knows the genuine benefits of living with them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dpq...

Now that's progress.

Eeeek. My first power bill arrived after getting solar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=94cX... 😲

You can't call yourself a car guy/gal until you've driven a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. I know the idea of a noise generator and fake gears sounds corny - and it would have been so easy for Hyundai to do it badly - but the result is... well, see for yourself: youtu.be/6wHEFFbUsdU?...

This is me on the same podcast. youtu.be/zWTHmqbbFOQ?...

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

New from 404 Media: hundreds of subreddits, including some of the most popular, are considering banning all links/content/screenshots from X/Twitter. r/NFL, r/hockey, r/baseball, r/nba, r/formula1, r/ComicBookMovies, r/MadeMeSmile, so many more. Some already have. www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Electrified transport is always a good test. 😁

I finally drove the Mercedes EQB but I'm just not in love with the design. Still, it made for some good jokes. Please keep me employed by giving me a sympathy click: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FqZ... Thank you and may you potat your toes.
