Most people actually are better people than we expect them to be. We are all generally no different than the hundreds of millions of other perfectly reasonable, boring people our mass media passes by every day in their never ending quest for the world's most interesting idiots.

When was writing for Jalopnik subcontracted out to the cast of “Mean Girls”?

Yeah Page and Plant are really, REALLY stingy giving out song rights to corporate interests.

Why not use all that computing power to start a media campaign promoting policy to fix what’s broken in our banking and credit systems, so that our existing system can more effectively empower the advancement of the individual in society?

Found the British guy.

My first car was a red 1990 Firebird that I have done everything to. I smashed the air dam when I ran it up on a curb in a parking lot, got rear ended on an interstate access road when I yielded for the off ramp just a little too generously, had it backed into in a Wendy’s parking lot, and I hit a deer driving through…

It’s theoretically possible, but unlikely.

Given the torque available with a Tesla, hauling a small camper trailer seems like a no brainer. I hear Tesla will be offering licensed trailer hitch assemblies soonish.

Trailer hitches are on the short list of soon to be added features of the news is right. Bike racks and small trailers are a big thing in many of the Scandinavian countries where Tesla is stupidly popular.

Step 1: Find a ‘72 VW Super Beetle.

The problem with making everything about election hacking, is it distracts from the bigger problem, that each of the two candidates so thoroughly alienated and pissed off fully one half of the country, that it allowed such a terrible statesman to become POTUS in the first place.

There is a real danger in using the news to sell outrage for clicks.

Yeah couldn’t possibly be that he cares about both safety and profits. Those are mutually exclusive, amirite?
