Jezebel just did a story about Title IX offices that refuse to do anything to rapists/sexual assaulters because they don’t want to “ruin their bright future,” but don’t think twice about ruining the futures of any of the accusers.

David Zaslav is a hack.

Stargate cosplay, now there’s a man of culture.

Literally nothing. I won’t even consider owning a car that’s new enough for that to even be a possibility.

I want to know what kind of funny math they’re using that says trains derailing all the time is cheaper than just maintaining the damn tracks.

Musk being on the phone with Russian officials and then turning off Starlink at the exact perfect time to ruin a Ukrainian counteroffensive *IS* picking a side.

When I hear Smith & Wesson, my first thought is revolvers. How do you have a high capacity revolver? Chain-drive!

I’m a third-generation Saab owner, I have LOTS of opinions about dead/zombie car companies.

It’s amazing how frequently my refusal to buy a new car is vindicated.

GM trying to sell us Saab lipstick on a Chevy pig.

Dead in spirit might be worse than dead in general, like seeing grandma’s corpse shambling around as a zombie.
