The L.A. Times piece is essentially a list of stories about how women were disappointed that they were asked to do nude scenes, Franco was annoyed, rinse and repeat.

He’d probably have to crash into people a few times to be considered dangerous.

His Twitter account is phenomenal, just absolutely dunks on himself constantly. Probably a lot easier since he found really good success in other racing series, and is able to admit F1 just wasn’t right for him. Mad respect for the man, and the jokes/memes just make it all the better.

I had the Honor of seeing the Andrea Moda Car with Perry McCarthy and Roberto Morena in Silverstone in 1992. They would not even let them use a garage on Pit Lane. It did not help that Perry went out on a drying track on a set of used Wets. One set of Slicks between the two othem Picture is of Roberto Morena at Monaco…

That dude will royally burn himself just to take someone else down. It’s awesome.

Amazon IS optimizing...for what they want optimized.

I think Inoue himself said it best

Yeah, I live well up in the rust belt, so I’d feel bad for condemning it to a slow death no matter how much I look after it. My first car was a 1990 Camry V6, and while I kinda hated it at the time because it wasn’t ‘cool’, looking back I really miss it lol. Just something about the boxy-ish look, and I remember it…

Truly. I worked the food industry, and joined a company that had pretty cleverly introduced a lot of high quality food products to Amazon’s inventory (cheeses, salamis, oils, etc.) Over the course of my entire time working there, we never had a conversation with a live person, in spite of moving over 30 million a year…

“and quit ordering all of your shit from them”....therein is the crux of the issue. 4 of 5 simultaneously bash Amazon with their keyboards while barking out “Alexa, order me x”. And FWIW, Amazon is the only “partner”  that makes Walmart look like a blissful pleasure to deal with

This is the best description I’ve ever read of Amazon (Amazon-Seller here, only because you have to these days). They’re really just a bunch of bullies.

If it’s anything like interacting with Amazon on any sort of non-customer level, the drivers are almost certainly in the dark on a lot of the information they need - by design. Obfuscating everything but the absolute bare minimum to function is how Amazon deals with it’s “partners”, vendors, and employees. It’s a…

... only because Letterman hasn’t released any of his old episodes for viewing anywhere.

I want it, I’m glad I live too far away to buy it.

It is weird! And a little annoying, the cultural generalizations made from demographics, based on one’s birth year. The stereotypes at best apply to people in the middle, but once you get out into the tails of the distribution... Please.

I remember when that time slot had Later With Bob Costas Monday through Thursday and music videos on Friday. Costas was a pretty good interviewer.

In other words, the show is being extended for 12 episodes.

I have never been more proud of a group of shit posters.
