It’s easy enough to send to Jalopnik HQ, and it’s pretty easy to find Tracy’s place if you want him to pass it on (or if you think he’d like his own copy!)

Oh, I should also mention that while I’ve been calling the car the Changli NEMECA, an acronym for New Energy Mini Electric Car for Adults, as it was shown on the Alibaba site, I just found the original Changli site that seems to call the car the Freeman!

You can’t literally get away with alleged murder if you’re a U.S. diplomat in the UK anymore, sorry.

Well you aren’t allowed in America anymore. Don’t feel too bad though, the place is sort of going to shit anyway.

The police frequently suck, it’s true, but the solution is to fix the police, rather than to take away useful tools.

Personally, I like that police can quickly identify stolen and uninsured vehicles. I’d like it more if they actually acted on those finds though, I get the sense that they are largely ignored.

I think that the richest country in the world can easily afford to subsidize workers who can’t work while we get this thing under control.

They can backpack around Europe! You know if the Europeans let our plagued asses in...

That of course does not mean that we can’t require them to have a duty to protect, just that they don’t automatically have one. All we have to do is pass the laws.

Yep, even before it was co-opted in opposition to Black Lives Matter, this was the problem with the Thin Blue Line flag. It speaks to a broken worldview that guarantees that the police will see themselves apart from the community, mistrusting it, and feeling like extreme force is required to keep things from spiraling…

This isn’t at all about making sure the kids get educated unfortunately. That’s a concern, but really it wouldn’t be a disaster to delay.

I don’t know if rubbing it in is the best idea, but it’s worth noting that while we have 10 bases named after Confederates, there are only a few named for Union officers: Forts Meade, Custer (who is problematic in his own way), Sill, Carson (who won a battle against the Confederacy, but then spent most of the Civil…

538 actually ranks Fox’s polling pretty decently:

There are of course also plenty of Medal of Honor winners who didn’t die defending this nation.

I’m disappointed that your take on me vine wasn’t this take on me vine:

He wasn’t pardoned. Also there are at least some people who believe he could be tried again, either for related crimes, or because if he expected the president to bail him out, he was never actually in jeopardy the first time, so a second trial wouldn’t be double jeopardy (though that interpretation seems doubtful…

Awful decision. Even if you want to say that making people pay their fines before their right to vote is restored is consistent with the ballot initiative and constitutional, the fact remains that Florida can’t even tell these people how much they owe, which creates an insurmountable impediment to paying back fines,…

But weren’t all first-gen MR2s ruined by the early 2000s?

I think of Strike Commander:

As far as I know, the CDC does not say to stay home (if you are not sick, and no one who is sick as been in the building).
