VW’s small cars will be available exclusively with electric engins. “New internal combustion cars in this segment no longer make sense in view of future emissions regulations. They would be too expensive for our customers. The future is electric.” www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/kleinwagen/v...

You know this shooting was a nothingburger when the top down conservative reaction is "this is why we need the ballroom!!!" and not "Democrats are dangerous beasts that should be jailed/killed".

“No this biopic doesn’t go into that stuff. It ends with his application to art school.”

next dem president needs to have a bulletproof plan to throw Elon in jail, expropriate all of his wealth, and ensure he is never allowed to do any of this ever again.

Can we please all get together and agree to stop the whole "end-stage capitalism" nonsense? It's just capitalism. It has survived crisis myriad times worse than whatever the current untenable situation you're thinking of. The idea that it's on the brink is both comforting and paralyzing to leftists.

I feel like US liberals and media have somehow convinced themselves that the Joe Rogan, Andrew Schulz and Bussin' with the Boys of the world radicalized young people into being Trump supporters, when in reality all of them felt free to back Trump because it was already "normie coded" to begin with.

The US is morphing into Brazil at an insane pace. Distrust of institutions and the feeling that if you're not scamming someone you're missing out and being the only prude in a brothel is rampant. Moral justification for antisocial behavior is how you get a very low trust society.

gonna make a movie about how Roman Polanski survived the Holocaust, became a filmmaker, broke into Hollywood, directed Rosemary’s Baby, suffered the loss of his pregnant wife, willed himself to continue making films, culminating in the success of Chinatown, the end.

These specific types of leftist are fundamentally illiberal and don't believe in democracy as a concept. Just fuck them if they're willingly putting themselves on the same boat as outright fascists. MAGA hates corporations because they believe that's what's funding "woke". Get real.

the cool thing about being a progressive normielib is that I can just say “this is awesome” instead of doing a bunch of throat clearing about loathing Spanberger before I praise her for obliterating 4 Republican seats

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

This is true, and a huge part of the reason as to why you can feel more in tune with city life when travelling abroad than in your own town. The city isn't just traffic.

Não é só uma derrota, é uma derrota significativa acompanhada de um indicativo claro de transferência pacífica de poder. Excelente dia para a democracia.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

This shit would be deemed too on the nose for The Onion about 7 years ago. What the fuck.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

US media: Escalating tension Real world: bombing US media: A dire ultimatum! Real world: bombing US media: Frenzied diplomacy! Real world: bombing US media: The brink of war!! Real world: bombing US media: CEASEFIRE!!!! Real world: bombing US media: A fragile peace Real world: bombing

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

To be fair, Israel isn't used to ceasefires in which they also have to stop the bombings.

some people will engage in Olympic platinum level mental gymnastics for the sake of blaming Democrats

Contrapoints: forever burdened with being dragged as a consequence of her very best tweets.

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Mais uma vez oferecendo meu mais sincero "vai tomar no meio do seu cu" ao bando de mongolóides que meteu o doisladismo cretino em 2024 e se recusou a votar contra o Trump por um purismo ideológico infantil que, só com os cortes do USAID, já custou centenas de milhares de vidas. Devem estar gostando.

I can’t believe there are really people like this

So this Darth Maul show is actually real? God, Star Wars has to be the most mismanaged product in the history of capitalism. Dave Filoni doesn't have the slightest inkling of what made those movies special in the first place. Really, at this point I'm not sure many people do.

Vendo as discussões a respeito de Hamnet e pensando em que ponto se estabeleceu um consenso de que sutileza = qualidade.

Josh Allen had like 8-10 terrible plays yesterday and you can't do that on the road in the playoffs. Why the Make-a-Wish treatment? Even Brady would get slaughtered for that game. Hope he wins one soon and we can all start grading him on a fair curve. Christ, the "woe is Josh" act is cringy.

Criticar o acordo Mercosul-Ue é atestado de ignorância, de cegueira dogmática. A realidade econômica se impõe sobre qualquer devaneio "decolonial", pra nossa sorte. É torcer demais pela aprovação e ratificação em definitivo.

Good afternoon. Just popping in to point out that the gap in EPA/Play between Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford is the same as the gap between Matthew Stafford and Jaxson Dart.

[germany at the negotiating table, versailles, 1919] lmaooooo congrats on winning your super bowl lil bro enjoy it fr

I feel like Americans are misreading this situation a lot. The domestic consequences for Trump are one thing, but I guarantee you Venezuela is mostly happy and hopeful about what transpired in the middle of the night. What does standing with Venezuela mean in this scenario?

Quem vê a choradeira do Corinthians pensa até que foram eles os assaltados no jogo de ida.

Quem diria que alienar o consumidor preocupado com emissão de poluentes seria uma estratégia ruim pra uma fabricante de carros elétricos? A Tesla só tem um mínimo futuro pela via dos subsídios e protecionismo brutal no mercado americano.

Reading Chiefs fans' reaction to the Kelce "dropped" pick (a shitty throw by Mahomes) leads me to believe Andy Reid and Mahomes' style of space manipulation made it so they have absolutely no clue what NFL windows are. To think that pass needed to be placed in his back hip is delusional.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Filmaço, e não sou fã do KMF. Para mim, melhor que Ainda Estou Aqui, mas enfrentará oponentes melhores.

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Dia triste pros psicólogos de boteco das redes sociais.

Sérgio Maurício é ruim demais, puta que me pariu. Como é possível?

O que resta pra McLaren é parar o Piastri pra tentar botar ele na pista entre o Norris e o Leclerc. Qualquer outra coisa é demência.

Simplesmente parem de fingir que alguém já guiou mais que Max Verstappen.

Bolsonaro está valorizando o passe e relembrando o centrão de que quem tem voto é ele, mesmo que preso. Nada mais. Não tem nem lógica achar que o herdeiro será definido agora e dessa forma aí.

Até um relógio errado, etc etc.

North Korean-style. A Potemkin village of fake journalists.

Can't get over Tarantino fancasting Austin Butler as Eli Sunday. The type of boomer brain that would get Bill Simmons jumped in an episode of Rewatchables.

Finalmente li Stoner (John Williams) e devo confessar que o hype millenial é justificado.

I'm not going to pretend these are bad films (I don't even mind the Woody film) but this doesn't exactly scream "voracious cinephile with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of genre and world cinema" so much as "dad who watches a lot of TNT."
