A sign of the times outside Knoxville today.

Listing ye olde plane tags on eBay and realizing I have a bunch of these things.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

the iMac G3 remains Peak Computer Design to this day

Love that Bernie Moreno is trying to set a precedent that countries should sanction others over climate emergencies.

Tariffs on Oregon soon.

I know why I can’t sleep but what can I do at this hour other than read @pantherraccoon.bsky.social skeets?

a literal car dealer trying to sanction another country for wildfire smoke really gets at the essence of climate politics

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

In my line of work, we tend to say “safe travels” a lot because our friendships are built on the road. We can only hope our paths will cross again down the line. Safe travels, Mark. Gonna miss our rides together.

God dammit.

Several other automakers are offering as-good or better deals on EVs and have been for some time, and the base-grade Y is a penalty box that is uncompetitive even with this incentive. You want some deals? Here's some deals: cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/...

Time for Elon to announce that there will be 100 billion Teslas driving on the moon by 2028 or some other stupid shit

Who wouldn't want a car called the "Naked?"

Elon Musk trying to sink a Christopher Nolan movie was honestly the funniest and dumbest course of action he could have taken. He’s one of the most popular filmmakers alive and now it proves Elon and his fanboys have no real cultural impact outside of X

We are all going to have so many kinds of diarrhea

at least ten Trump administration officials have pre-IPO positions in #$SPCX, in case you need more reasons to want to see it crash

The defense secretary putting the US military on hormone replacement therapy would be rejected as an X-Files plot.

Me just wanting to watch the world burn: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me watching the world burn: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

So the AQI score… Higher is better, right? It’s like basketball and not golf? Right?

nice

It is different when your launch fails and your public.

My first Magic: The Gathering card has been revealed! Highly Illogical: Created for the upcoming Star Trek set, this piece features an astonished Spock, witnessing the White Rabbit on the Shore Leave planet. Created back in 2024, it was an incredibly fun assignment -

Tesla is offering 0% on the Model Y base. Someone said to me today, "If you want an EV, it's hard to argue with that." Umm, you actually can. Aside from the whole Nazi thing, or the whole got Trump elected and helped destroy democracy thing, the car just isn't that competitive anymore.

Yesterday...Northwestern Ontario looked like a scene straight out of Dante’s Peak.

It’s here! We’ve redone the @roadandtrack.bsky.social logo with a new ampersand inspired by the early-Sixties version of the magazine. And by we I mean Matt Wiley of Pentagram and our amazing creative director Nathan Schroeder.

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

Hang onto this screen cap for the inevitable F-35 crash at Daytona Beach

That’s a lot of pronouns to suggest Trump is God.

If America really wanted small cars, the RAV4 wouldn't have outsold the Corolla by almost 2:1.

I didn't get to experience the pre-EPA era firsthand, so I'm very thankful for this week's historical reenactment.

Rolling coal, but at continental scale.

Remember, wildfire smoke is anti-woke.

San Andreas.

This is fine, right?

It's like seven inches from the midday sun out there today.

Taking a break from shit posting to do “real work.” Driving the R2 today.

If you want actual thoughts and analysis and not just my shit lists, my newsletter is a great place to start (link in bio). Or one of the places I freelance. Here? You get a mixed bag of intelligence and shitposts.

Looks like European Business to me.

Mariner throwing away promotions to do stuff is perhaps some of the best MtG flavor mechanics ever designed

Since Bezos is involved with Slate, Amazon should handle the trucks' destination and not charge a destination fee at all. Items much heavier ship for free already. www.businessinsider.com/7-crazily-he...

It's also $255 more than the Honda Prelude, and that comes from Japan. The Slate comes from Warsaw... Indiana.

Never a good day when you have to deny you’re weighing bankruptcy techcrunch.com/2026/07/14/l...

Wait, I’m going to have to invest in MTG now, too?

Between the news at Volkswagen and what appears to be impending doom at Lucid, plus the state of the overall industry, I'm holding out for a hero to come save us.
