The king will see you now. #proofofcat

As always, some great ones in here.

That K-open and the Mazda X-Vision Compact (not pictured) make me very happy indeed. After Munich, I would argue auto shows might still have something to offer.

Sounds like an amazing way to disconnect and find some peace in our chaotic world. I’ve know Drew for years and he’s a master at creating space for people to open up and be themselves.

Only a matter of time before he “needs” to demolish some neighborhoods nearby to expand it further.

> noting that the region is mostly Russian-speaking ok bear with me here

Signs you live in a good neighborhood.

This speaks to me in a way the Mobilize Duo can only dream of. I’ll have mine with a mini pickup back and a roof rack please Daihatsu!

Is my hobby.

The sauna-like temperature in this 787 that’s been parked for approximately 45 minutes in 17C ambient temperature is not helping my general dislike of the aircraft.

Only 60? I think he’s being quite generous.

The “please remain seated, boarding will begin shortly based on zones” draws a huge queue of half the passengers. Every. Single. Time. It’s really not that complicated folks.

I didn’t know there was any other kind of post on LinkedIn. It’s an absolute dumpster fire of grifters, assholes, and AI content.

This is super cool and love the Star Wars cantina aesthetic as much as anyone, but I can understand why this would not make for a pleasant airport experience. You’ve just spent 7 hours in a dark metal cylinder with 200 strangers, maybe low ceilings and brutalist seating aren’t the welcome you need.

These punk rock song titles just keep getting longer and longer.

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Hm, what could it be?

I am the consummate car guy. I dedicated my life to creating and adoring them. But I have also learned that life is better when you don’t need one. I’d rather take the bike and/or the train and I love living in a walkable city. It’s not about “taking away your car”, it’s about giving you a choice.

'Tylenol' is known in the civilised world as Paracetamol 2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019. Studied 186,000 children whose mothers were treated with paracetamol during pregnancy. news.ki.se/no-link-betw...

This is amazing.

Like the orange, hate literally everything else about this lumpy awkward thing. Also why is photo 2 of a melted one?

Is Peugeot really sure they want Gilles Vidal back? What exactly is this Seat Focus pastiche meant to be in Renault’s lineup? Such a letdown after the R4 and R5.

Grape Nuts (holding me back): Whoa whoa whoa, hey man, just let it go! This asshole isn't worth it!

It’s quite obviously an underbone motorcycle, the best of both worlds.

No traffic jam at Zandvoort, but this is the line for the trains out 🤣

Day at the beach. #dutchgp

Finally some good news!

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

I thought “sickening racism” was their platform, but now they’re being sacked for it? I’m so confused by British politics.

Thinking of @tamerlaneblog.bsky.social while eating roti tonight. Homemade, so not as good as what you get in a Surinamese restaurant, but the Madame Jeanette piccalilly is 🔥 (literally and figuratively)

Got a message from PostNL that they’re also part of this. I’ve been saying for years that the US wasn’t a serious country, but “government so unstable global postal services won’t deliver to it” really shines a light on it.

He is good at energizing his base, because this is 100% targeted at educated Democrats and will not move the needle even the tiniest bit with MAGA. They are regularly fed Trump-oriented Soviet-style propaganda and don’t understand/care that it used to be symbolic of the enemy.

This went so much deeper than I expected.

Designed for direct admission to Festival of the Unexceptional? Shocking to see something so outdated being released in 2025 when lots of interesting design is happening. Looks straight out of 2012.

Tall. Ships. #sailamsterdam

Great view from the office today! #sailamsterdam

we have both computers and science fiction because Byron was so insufferable it inspired all the women around him to come up with elaborate reasons to get away

I’ve reached my foodposting stage of BlueSky. A “joyful” Friday evening meal of Thai green curry with butternut squash and chicken alongside a fruity local NEIPA. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself!

TFW you spend hundreds of millions on a revolutionary new superyacht and Marc Newson draws a cock and balls on the roof.

My wife just shared with me, "The ABC of City Planning," a children's book Mayor La Guardia’s Committee on City Planning released in 1937. I have a feeling the urbanists on Bluesky are going to like this. chpcny.org/wp-content/u...

This is truly glorious. White steelies and rally lights make everything better.

I’m currently in the process of selling my house and buying a new one. It’s been more than a decade since the last time I went through it and wasn’t really prepared for just how *pleasant* the process still is here in NL (once you get over the prices). /1

Ceaușescu-chic is BACK baby. All the authoritarians are doing it.

As a former owner, I’d love a restomod Alfa GTV, but I feel like the super wide stance (and fender flares) and offset lamps undermine the “light on its toes” stance and driving feel. This isn’t a car that’s meant to be angry, but fun. Interior (pic in other post) is spectacular though.

Was listening to latest @smithandsniff.bsky.social today and heard the mention of HORSE. Weirdly, they don’t seem to use the all-caps styling for the name on their own website, which means the shouting in the press release was likely a Caterham choice.

OMG I feel so seen.

Captured a bit of odometer magic on the autobahn this afternoon. #funwithnumbers

Rereading this I realize that I actually spoke five different languages today. Four countries, five languages, all spoken in an interaction with another human. Also drove 650km. No wonder I’m tired tonight!

I have been through four different countries today and interacted in three different languages (plus the one I speak at home). I absolutely love the energy that language-switching gives me. What is a mental workout that you do that sounds exhausting to others but you get a rush from?

Saw this lovely thing this morning. Clearly the LP400 is peak Lamborghini (don’t @ me), but is it also peak sports car? So pretty and compact yet also insane.
