I like this Bortoloto kid. And I think I get to interview him on Wednesday?

I might only be home to see @ellegitlin.com for 18 hours but totally worth it.

You know, Canada's parliamentary system sucks major ass but something like this stupid shutdown would never happen because that would trigger an election.

When this is done, mandatory 10 year prison sentences for anyone working for ICE in 2025. And we confiscate all your assets.

they really want to test out that three missed meals theory www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

I’d rather jack, than Fleetwood Mack m.youtube.com/watch?v=f6VB...

Newsletter is back with the latest from yours truly, including a drive of a prototype Honda, a few pieces published in lovely new outlet, impressions from behind the wheel of Porsche's new 911 Turbo S, and what it's like to wheel the 1,250 hp Czinger 21C! open.substack.com/pub/timsteve...

whaaaaaaat - is ceding this position really the best way to fight corruption?

Americans are really idiotic when it comes to class. A retail job at Walmart or Target means you’re working class, even if you have a degree, ffs.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

@thepacketrat.net @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social FYI

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960. The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

The fuck is Al Qaeda when you need it?

I feel a bit sorry for the Nvidia PR person who wanted to know why I don’t go to GTC. Gee, I could spend three days in a conference center with stricter-than-TSA security covering a topic my audience (and I) thinks is a complete scam, that they won’t even click on. That’s why I’m not going, lady.

Well, at least the cabin crew on this flight is are wonderful.

They work for a fascist paper providing cover, just like that Alan whatever his name was from the 1980s and 90s. Fuck em all

Krugman has way more principles than Bouie, who I am sure could land a job somewhere else.

I’m begging everyone to please stop living in the past with regard to WaPo and NYTimes. They are not what they used to be, they are pure MAGA garbage. There is nobody worth reading at either.

Thanks a lot, BA, you assholes.

They’re bailing out Argentina because they’re all going to be living there when this is over.

The sooner Nvidia crashes and burns, the better.

Has a Gulf Oil livery *ever* worked out well for Williams? Seems to me every time they do that, their performance on track is dire.

Another example of run offs not keeping the same topography as the track causing cars to take off. Something that absolutely should be eradicated from every track, but never does. This exact issue ended Pagenaud's career. I hate it. #F1

Why would you ever come to Spain when there’s Portugal and France and Italy and Belgium right there?

Watch as they use their inability to fly as a reason not to return to the House to reopen the government.

If there was any architect who designed “timeless modernism” it was Eero Saarinen.

These are Tesla sales. This is what he's been rewarded for. He's killed the brand, helped kill the subsidies that BUILT the company, and bet the company on technology that only exists as AI slop. Better chance the stock crashes than Elon ever reaches or gets close to his trillion-dollar payout.

There are people here on actual Jet2 holidays.

There’s a very effective solution to this.

Seriously, I don’t care that Ferran Adria and El Bulli are Spanish. The rest of the food in the country is vile, particularly the animal proteins.

Christ I hate this fucking country. The food is garbage, the plumbing sucks, and their airports are a crime against humanity. Spain is just a complete shithole.

If you have ever been a Londoner this is a must-read.

Apparently Duffy didn’t actually say this, but the problem is it’s entirely believable with this administration.

"Neighbourhood interiors were never intended for commercial activity", says one letter writer. To be fair, this is true, if you toss the entirety of human history and modern day Earth outside North America in the trash, and think that urban planning less than a century old is ironclad natural law.

@britishairwaysque.bsky.social can you please fix the bug with online check in where it never remembers my US address? You also left the District of Columbia off your drop down list of US states so there is no way for me to complete the information online. It is very annoying.

The one thing Bsky still lacks is airline customer service.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I think at some point we're going to have to have a reckoning on how the memefication of "genocide" and "genocidaire" as extremely bad and harmful for pretty much everyone except Trump.

After talking with a friend in the UK who's still in academia I now have a hankering to rewatch A Very Peculiar Practice...

It shows that no human has ever looked at Elon and said "I will always love you," bc he's paired the phrase with the expression he's actually seen which says: "I'm not paid enough for this."

Andrew Cuomo having bottomless money from wealthy donors to use to lose elections is a great argument for a wealth tax. He should just run as a Republican.

This is bad

what sucks about all this is tech actually fucking rules, i love this shit and they have turned it all into the biggest grift ever, destroying any momentum we had for “advancing civilization” all so they can sit on their pile of treasure like fucking smaug

these assholes made a payment processing website or “invented” 2 day shipping or made Hot or Not 2 and so we gave them all our money and put them in charge of tech? make it make sense…these guys are “right place right time” and nothing more to it than that and now they have all our money

It could have been, following Fisher's death, immensely moving to have her die nobly in TLJ, and set Dern up to play the charismatic leader for the last one (and beyond)

So there’s a theory on instagram that trump stole the resolute desk. Tbh it wouldn’t surprise me if he did it because he watched the National Treasure movie, that’s how what’s left of his brain works.

putting Crowdstrike branding on the hood of the safety car is a bold move, Mercedes

If you get a per-diem this is a great idea.

Wait my Twitter account has a banger lemme just repost it

Why would a combination of deep technological skill and adrenaline in a controlled environment attract neurodivergent people. It is a mystery.
