Found this time capsule from 2007 at my grandparents' today.

BREAKING: Iran announces the war will end when Americans learn to pronounce Iran.

Found these old playing cards when moving things to the attic. I hope whoever designed these is now working as a political cartoonist.

Just play this for him and let it be over. (Darius is too angry—as if he could tell the difference between Persia and Arabia anyway...) youtu.be/PxvRoswp9XE?...

I am choosing to believe that Greene and Fetterman did a Freaky Friday and nobody noticed.

I realized recently that the use of the word "cartel" to describe Mexican drug traffickers does sort of imply that the biggest problem is that they are collaborating to stifle competition and have gained too much market share.

I hate that it's such a perfect parallel to the claims that AI can't exist if they have to follow copyright law. All the worst people saying the law is an obstacle when that's exactly why those laws should be enforced.

Spotted this joyful thing over the weekend.

I don't know if there's a place for someone like me in the world.

I don't have the energy to be mad anymore. I'm just sad. People really hate each other and we could all have something better. I don't hate anyone. Even the worst of the worst. I want accountability. Severe accountability. And it's needed desperately. But I don't hate anyone. As hard as that is.

My philosophy as it stands now: 1: We are responsible for our own actions, and it is our duty not to do harm. 2: We are not responsible for the actions of others, and it is not our duty or obligation to prevent harm caused by others or by events outside our control.

Typing and retyping and then deciding not to post a thread about how I think common ground between liberals and the far left is possible, if we recognize that we mostly want the same things but have completely different strategies.

Very confused by the @npr.org interview this morning in which @steveinskeep.bsky.social and @duckworth.senate.gov briefly considered that maybe racial profiling by ICE agents ought to be limited to within 1 mile of the border instead of 100.

"What's up?" What is this, Facebook?

If you're wondering how the bootlickers are thinking about all the ICE stuff, I just overheard someone at work say that they should get a bunch of MMA fighters to work with ICE and "kick the shit out of all the knuckleheads." Very normal stuff.

After the Trump admin started deleting video evidence of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot from a DOJ server, a law firm secured a judge's order requiring the U.S. to restore the files. The firm has now partnered w/ @archive.org to permanently store them 👇 archive.org/details/@jan...

I have not yet watched the video, but I have heard it, several times. At home, in the break room at work, etc. People are aware of this, and the average person is not going to buy the government's defense of what is clearly murder.

(1/2) Very disappointed by @npr.org's coverage at ~6:30 this morning, in which they: -Presented Noem's claim (with audio clip) that Good intended to harm ICE agents, -Described Good as "driving forward" and ignoring orders, without including any other details,

Thank you, Habba nice day!

I've been pretty bummed lately about how much of the internet is continuing to disappear. I found a little piece of info from a Volvo fan site a while back—yesterday I couldn't find anything. Did not appear on Google searches. The site is down and it no longer shows up in search results.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Really happy with all the election results last night, but it's harder to get into the spirit because my town didn't elect the more progressive candidate for mayor. Maybe next time.

May I posit that Tom Bowman is not a bitch?

WOMAN WHO SOLD CAR BEFORE RAPTURE FORCED TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT TO HEAVEN

Have any Cadillacs, Lincolns, Mercurys or Subarus been eaten yet ?

No better way I can think of to enjoy a Labor Day weekend. #LimeRockPark #HF43

A woman in a golf cart stopped near us and asked if we wanted to take one of the Concours signs. So now we'll have to find a place for this. I think we'll have to gather photos, models, etc. to arrange around it so the sign can be accurate. #LimeRockPark #HF43

Beautiful day at at Lime Rock Park for Historic Festival 43! Happened to catch a barbershop quartet in front of the 'Ragtime Racers'. #LimeRockPark #HF43

Everyone using this to clown on Gen Z as if every other generation doesn't still have way higher approval of Trump. "Haha, these idiots finally figured out Trump is bad! Took them long enough! Unlike my generation who will never figure it out."

I didn't think it was possible to hear so many different pronunciations of Iran in the span of a few days.

Listening to Don't Worry Baby while Israel bombs Iran is a particularly surreal moment in what has been a churning sea of surreal moments.

Google has put AI where the "All" section used to be, so I'm finally switching to DuckDuckGo indefinitely. Google has been super inconsistent anyway, always guessing what I want (and picking something super specific) rather than just giving me what I asked for.

Psychologist on NPR said as a kid the locals killed his dog and put it in their mailbox, and staged an explosion of his house. Is that not literally what just happened to Jonathan Joss? Is this a common practice?!

I want to climb through this window. Out of the fire and into the void.

This is what it feels like to be raptured.

Habemus Papadam!

Just didcovered one of my neighbors has three PT Cruisers in their driveway, and I think I have new favorite neighbors.

Jacob Wysocki's magic reveal was so powerful it blew the power in our house..

What if these automotive tariffs accidentally spur a bunch of investment into trains and other public transport? ...let me dream, okay?

Trans friends, you are awesome, and you shouldn't have to fight so hard. You've made me a better person. You deserve a world that respects you and your rights.

If you just go by what people post about Tesla stock you'd think it's been cratering for weeks. But those people don't post when it goes up. To be clear, fuck Tesla and fuck Elon. But pretending the stock is completely tanking is not helpful.

@archive.org I'm very sad to see that classiccarcatalogue.com has mow gone down completely. Unfortunately the archives on the Wayback Machine are also gone. Perhaps it's worth contacting the owner to preserve some of the historical documents and photos which are now increasingly hard to find?

I think car design is currently coming out of a baroque era, like the transition from late '50s to early '60s. I'm happy to return to simplified, intentional design. I'm a bit tired of taillights in shapes I couldn't begin to describe.

I want to go back in time to 2001 and tell Hummer drivers that in twenty years there will be an EV Hummer, and it will sell better than the H1. "It must be because most cars will be EVs by then, right?" ... "Right?"

"Daylight savings" is where you wake up and there's no daylight anymore.

Bob: "You don't know my name, do you?" Me: "It rhymes with a Swedish car company." Bob: "What is it?" Me:

I've seen conflicting definitions, so let's take a poll: What is a "late model" car to you? A car built in the last few years? A car produced later in a particular model's production run? Something else? Depends on context? Let me know!
