I can never hate on the VC-25, regardless of who’s riding. Prettiest airplane ever.

This screams ‘MERICA! from sea to shining sea. [insert eagle screech]

Exactly. I don’t understand the hate that so many people seem to have against Tesla.

It's a very well-thought-trough strategy. They found oil laying around in the ground of their waters, and no government on earth would be stupid enough to just leave it there. Rather, they sell the oil, but try to manage the money as responsibly as possible. This means working towards an extremely stable economy,…

I’ve seen plenty of videos and photos of disabled (by IEDs) tanks - you don’t even need to do permanent damage to tank’s body, all you have to do is immobilize it by destroying tank’s threads (which is just as bad as destroying the whole tank in certain situations). And even without any access to ANY explosives, there…

Norway is an odd hypocrisy. Some of the most generous green subsidies in the world while they owe their wealth to a national trust fund of a trillion dollars (literally and say it like Dr.Evil) from oil.

The rest of the world doesn’t have military prowess we do. Tanks were nice in the 1990 Gulf War, but a quarter-century later, we’ve moved on to bigger and better things. That Russia and other nations continue to focus on tanks in no way supports the idea that a modern military needs to develop new tanks to be…

For all those who (somehow) might not be convinced that Elba should be the next Bond:

You are comparing apples and oranges. We may difficulty with a super-high-tech 5th generation fighter that is attempting to serve three service branches at once, but I’m pretty sure we can build a tank that can roll down a damned street without passing out.

I have to say this: I think Daniel Craig is the best James Bond to ever grace the screen. *watchfully looks for thrown fruit*

The present, where an unmodified car can take a worlds speed record.

Idris Elba has his own Kinja category. If that doesn’t mark someone out for greatness I don’t know what does. Does this mean he gets a Jalopnik bump too?

This dude is awesome

Hello...BBC? Yeah about the Top Gear openings...Call Mr. Elba...like now. KTHANKZBI

They are probably making them for the exact same reasons we are making the F35.

“You funny man, I kill you last!”

People who had “uncontrollable” people on their hands—which ranged from genuinely delusional and threatening to “hysterical” females who wanted to work, to “my mentally retarded kid is getting too big and strong to physically control”, to being black for any reason.

Wonderfully written article, Alison. I love pieces like this that shine a light on a matter that most of us have never heard of.

Horrible, and yet it sounds almost idyllic before Dr. Freeman’s tenure. White people: ruining things since forever.

Ok. So I’m not a car person. I only created this account to comment on this lol. I went to school with him and I can say he wasn’t dumb. We’re in college, broke, really needing money. He may have not thought it through properly and I agree with the comments of Hazelwood being unsafe. SIUE is only 30 minutes from STL…
