Not your average Dale Earnhardt content. This episode rips. But it's @elizablackstock.bsky.social, so you knew that already.

We've got stock cars at Daytona. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training today. Nature is healing.

Don't worry, I'm already actively looking to get the fuck out of here! I'm a progressive, this place is just impossible to live in unless you're rich and I'm not!

This is the bare minimum at this point, but I'm so glad Connor Zilisch's dad is a reasonable human.

i feel this way for a lot of reasons but i will never forgive the people across wide swaths of this country who inflicted this person on us all

Chase Briscoe never beating the wrecking ball allegations.

Lol

I recently learned that Corey LaJoie is married to the niece of my high school principal. I don't know what to do with this information, but there it is.

Looking ahead, there's a #67 car on the Daytona 500 entry list and you just know Fox is going to be insufferable about it.

Corey LaJoie picking up where he left off: A D-Tier performance in B-Tier equipment.

Live look at anyone trying to figure out The Clash practice and qualifying formats (none of this matters it's all made-up nonsense)

"Why are you surprised?" I'm not. I'm never surprised. But there's being conservative and there's deepthroating the cock of the modern gestapo and idk, I just feel like thats a bridge (or several) too far.

It was -13 this morning, I have no trouble believing that we've got six more weeks of winter. I'd be willing to believe 10, tbh.

How has nobody said this yet... The Clash at Snowman-Gray Stadium ...I'll see myself out.

IndyCar "For the Love of Christ Do One Positive Thing" challenge.

If you're still on the regime's side at this point I've got no respect for you. I spent a lot of time biting my tongue around people with garbage views, but if you can see what's happening over the past 3 months and still support it, you can get fucked by a razor wire dildo.

Convertibles are just irritating, TBH. "Hey, let's cut this nice part of the car off that shields you from the elements and adds structural rigidity to the car" is a terrible idea and no amount of arguments otherwise will change my objectively correct opinion.

I could watch the rest of this MPC race or just watch the traffic drive by outside. If I imagine the pickup trucks and SUVs with AMR Safety wraps on them it's more or less the same experience.

I swear, every time I check back in on the MPC race someone is stopped in the grass/runoff.

Not sure how there isn't more car enthusiast/auto racing crossover. This MPC race is just like a car show. Cars all lined up going 40 mph. The Porsche guys think they're better than everyone, despite evidence to the contrary. Too many Mustangs. The dumbest crashes you've ever seen. It's uncanny!

Spokes broken off the wheel like that...not sure I've seen that one before.

I looked at the Anxiety Rectangle for too long and now I'm too mad to work. Calling my reps is not enough I need to throw bricks through windows.

I know it's been said before but people who use speakerphone in public, especially in enclosed spaces, deserve hard time.

It's rare that a prototype-style car grabs my attention, but goddamn this thing is hot.

Phelps isn't the problem, but yeah sure why not.

Ironically, the guy who probably had the teams' back the most early on (Phelps) is probably the guy that gets shitcanned for this going sideways. Jim France ain't gonna fire himself, and OD has survived being a walking muppet for too long for this to take him down, though I'd like to be wrong.

This looks like Sinbad died and got reincarnated as a chair.

Now that I work a job where I end up with 40 open tabs by the end of the day, I feel compelled to close them constantly. As opposed to when they were just my recreational tabs, and I could have 75 open at once and remain unbothered.

Seems bad

The thing about RFK jr. being a terrible head of health and human services is like…yeah. Yeah, he is literally the worst possible person for the job.

Someone please explain to me the purpose of this traffic light configuration. Burlington is full of this shit.

Surely there are enough of us that we could force the top 8 into a sort of Lord of the Flies meets Interstellar situation.

Watching this years NASCAR Chicago race back and I absolutely don't remember the red flag being this long...but I do remember thinking I'd be late for the start and coming back to them on like lap 7, so in retrospect that does make sense.

if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Alright this might be my favorite post so far

Jim talking about how quickly things change in his testimony all while thinking he can still run the sport like Big Bill did 35 years ago is, unironically, hilarious.

Ironically, the guy who probably had the teams' back the most early on (Phelps) is probably the guy that gets shitcanned for this going sideways. Jim France ain't gonna fire himself, and OD has survived being a walking muppet for too long for this to take him down, though I'd like to be wrong.

I could replace the blower motor in my "so expensive to repair" VW in 15 minutes for less than $60. I just spent $85 and nearly 3 hours doing it in this fucking KIA.

I don't believe in the death penalty except for people who block intersections, don't brush the snow off the roof of their car, and/or jump into Teams meetings five minutes early.

Forza Horizon 4 is so much more fun to just fuck around in than 5.

Sad news for those in the auto journo space: Eric Boman passed away this past weekend. Details unknown, but he spent time writing for MotorBiscuit, HotCars, and SlashGear. Had a chance to work with him at MB and Cox Auto, he was a great, funny guy and he will certainly be missed.

Ah yes, very secret. So secret you sent me a notification about it

Full-season points have made this year's F1 championship truly compelling, even when the racing itself is not. NASCAR, Supercars...the ball is in your court. Pay attention.

NASCAR's fans never forgave them for the bullshit that is "playoffs" in racing, and results like this will send Supercars down the same path. Winning nearly half the season's races should be easily a championship effort. What are we doing here?

Had a laugh thinking about how every one of the motorsport "playoff" systems is said to "reward winning" when traditionally it drop-kicks the winningest driver of the series right in the balls and rewards being only being good in the last event
