Definitely not against EVs per se, but the sound they make does not compare well against an internal combustion engine.

If my phone would creep on me quietly it would be one thing, but instead it's like, "hey, I read all your emails and composed a quatrain about it, would you like me to recite it?" Anyway, Graphene was surprisingly easy to install

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

As someone who watched anime in the 90s, I should know better, but Japanese BL is wild to me because I have apparently confused medium with genre and am like "these are real-ass people! This is behavior I expect from doujinshi characters!! What is happening??”

It's polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and I'm a guide. My polar bear photos always engender a lot of questions, so I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common ones so you can better understand these amazing animals and our relationship with them in Churchill. 🐻❄️ 1/

I feel insane that I keep seeing "here's why we don't want a guy with a Nazi tattoo" and not "here's why we don't want a Nazi." This is definitely "eleven people at a dinner table with a Nazi is twelve Nazis." A guy with a Nazi tattoo is just a Nazi.
