I visited a vintage store today that had a selection of old automotive advertisements. These two got my attention. Anyone know what’s up with the two shifters on the Marlin?

This album(?) would probably appeal to some of you weirdos.

This album comes with a warning.

Love to not drive my Alfa.

At the record store and I can’t help but notice that what used to be all vintage records is now at least 50% new pressings, most of which are crazy expensive.

This here is one of the great U-boat hunters of the Second World War. Grab a comfy seat and a glass of something pleasing. We're going on a journey...

This was not a healthy place to eat lunch.

I've started seeing Afeela commercials, so I guess Honda and Sony are really going to try this. Good luck, guys.

Rolling into the weekend.

From Cleveland with Love

OH: “Our grand-cat.” 🐈

Love to not drive my 911.

Best holiday cocktail? (A) Eggnog (B) Tom and Jerry

Very happy to receive the traditional gift of socks this year. 🧦

You're growing as a person when you transition from being excited about a gift you've received to being excited for somebody else to open a gift you've given them.

Keith Haring, The Nativity, subway drawing, c. 1983

Imagine waking up on Christmas morning, making coffee, opening some gifts, having a little breakfast, then checking the news and discovering that your life as you knew it is suddenly over.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Ed Emswhiller’s Christmas cover art for Galaxy Science Fiction, December 1960.

I think I might like this gran.

6.6L engine, 159 hp. But 315 lb*ft of torque tells the story, these cars feel less sluggish than you might think. And I love the color. (Santa, if you're still working...)

I hope you all are having a peaceful, enjoyable day.

Super rare CT6-V. Own one now before you need unobtainable engine parts.

Such a good one in @privateeyenews.bsky.social.

Winamp Skin: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Who doesn't like the celebrate the holiday with a good Probe?

How I'm turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party:

I think we all know by now that guac is extra.

This is probably obvious to everyone else but I finally realized that the Mustang and Bronco, at least originally, can be thought of as being paired set. Both conceived by Donald Frey, both horsey, both very customizable, both racing under Shelby and Stroppe respectively.

The people who showed up to vote for a write-in dem candidate in a Trump+50 special election 2 days before Christmas are democracy's strongest soldiers.

Does anyone here know anything about 3D printers? I need emergency help and I don't know anyone IRL who can help me.

At the airport for my usual Christmas trip and astonished at how quiet it is. Literally zero line at security. Lounge is packed, though. 🍸

Reminder that being technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Rather than just keeping in a box, I think I might start wearing my late father’s watch this upcoming year, at least occasionally. It’s a gigantic stainless steel case first generation LCD, which might be kind of retro cool now.

Jira 2025 Wrap

They complain about highway fuel economy and I don't have an E-Ray (wide body, wider tires) but FWIW my Stingray gets about 30 mpg on the highway, which I think is pretty good for a 500hp sports car.

kinda weird how liens are harder to enforce if you insist on being paid in a paper check and not direct deposit, and always go to the bank and cash it instead of ever letting money hit your bank account real weird. definitely nobody do that. too weird.

What's something you want to learn in 2026? Me: Videography (Filming, Editing, etc.)

Clean SleighFax?

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

When I was doing research in the archives for my dissertation, I found that you could date when the GSA switched suppliers because metal staples from that period all rust and stain the documents.

Shown: My preferred shifting technique.

Our 1996 Saturn SC2

I'm honestly shocked that Ford offered and continues to offer a manual transmission in the Bronco. I think I've seen a 3% take rate floating around and even if that's not accurate the actual number must be really, really small. I bet it goes away at the next big refresh.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

As face-palming as this story is, it gives some context into what these dipshits are trying to do.

Rise and grind.
