This article, which was written on the heels of an article from the Atlantic, seems to be written with a false premise- that somehow US automakers are ONLY making huge, behemoth EVs. That is so far from the truth its ridiculous that an automotive journalist versus me wouldn’t at least do the slightest amount of…

A lawsuit against whom? You can’t sue someone for more common sense.

Guardrails are not a requirement, attention is.

Okay. There’s a Renfield movie and a movie about the Demeter. My can’t-miss pitch for the next Dracula-adjacent epic?  The life of the guy who supplies the wax cylinders for Dr. Seward’s recording machine.

That would actually be interesting, and Disney has shown that they’re very opposed to doing anything interesting with their live-action remakes.

No one is actually excited about this Barbie movie right?  

...But big crowds going out to see “Babylon” in theaters are apparently hard to come by.

If I were a betting man, KMX (CarMax) is the only one that can and/or will survive in its current incarnation. They actually turn profits and seem to run a decent business. Vroom, Shift, CVNA and the handful of others will all be in BK court by end of ‘23 but probably by June ‘23. Even if they make it through ‘23 most…

I’ve purchased five cars that I did not see in person prior to the purchase. In each case the purchase price was significantly below fair market value so I felt the risk was acceptable. Three of those have been among my favourite cars to own.  The other two were better than average deals.  However, I would never pay…

Phase 6 is everybody is Skrulls, only they don’t know it.

hot take: Ant-Man 3 looks like utter shit. It looks like Spy Kids 3D.

Phase Five: Diminishing Returns

1. Heche’s kids didn’t earn that money. It’s appropriate for debts to be paid from the estate before the heirs get what’s left.
