Alternatively - Friends who speak languages other than English, if you write me a skeet asking people to vote for Outstanding Foreign Language with books from your language, I will post and promote it.

Did you read a book by a transfemme in a language other than English this year? Comment them on this post! The Foreign Language category for the TFR Awards only has two votes total and I need more crowdsourcing.

"this could have been slop, but it's not" is rapidly becoming a surefire signifier of premium-ness

"The exterior of the 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron is gorgeous, but unassuming. It's everything that makes the brand's EVs great and then some" My final review for 2025 is now live on @agirlsguide2cars.bsky.social ⬇️ #audi #ev #review

"This is just like when the USSR locked up all of the propagandists and assassins we sent to destabilize their country right after they won World War II for us. We've become evil just like those dirty communists we keep having to violently stop from lifting people out of poverty!"

...and my piece about how the Cybertruck was a good prediction of where America was heading, which I think stood up really well after a year of this bullshit. anyway that's it, haven't done much other writing of note, sadly www.motor1.com/features/746...

The only other pieces I was super proud of were my explainer on why you should sell your Tesla (which I stand by, even if most Americans are seemingly fine with driving cars built by guy who likes to sieg-heil) insideevs.com/features/755...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

With tiktok *officially* becoming a Nazi propaganda organ, now's a good time to remind you that you can use several browser extensions to simply disappear any tiktok content. Don't even let it load, you can make it vanish. You don't need to ever even see a thumbnail of Nazi tinged AI slop.

You don't need to be a cynic to see the 2026 Ram 1500's Hemi option just doesn't add up.

Curious, did anyone here go to college on a frozen pizza scholarship?

On a final note, the 70's was really the decade where the folks at Chef Boyardee was feeling themselves, offering a SPRAWLING array of products, from canned pasta to frozen options to pizza and pasta kits, as legitimate Italian dinners for adults.

One of the more unique offerings from the Chef Boyardee frozen pizza line was a SALAMI pizza, as opposed to the ubiquitous pepperoni, rolled out near the end of the product's lifespan, along with a salami pizza kit, to make your own version at home

Chef Boyardee Frozen Pizza (1954-circa 1975): A line of frozen pizzas from the stalwart canned pasta company, boasting "a subtle blend of Romano, Mozzarella, and Cheddar", and a "zesty Italian sauce." Available in a variety of flavors, with plain cheese and sausage being the most widely available

lunchtime browsing today: look I’m not saying Australia ~isn’t~ a real place, just that the sentence “this Maloo comes in a Botannica Mica exterior” feels vaguely imaginary… www.musclecarwarehouse.com.au/listings/199...

We must instead do it to their faces as much as is humanly possible We know it is the most painful thing they can experience: look at how much Elon was harmed by a crowd booing him for saying "I'm rich bitch" at a Dave Chappelle show We can destroy them, we have the power
