For all the disagreement that exists in the automotive space, I think we can all come together on this one:

I remember 20 ish years ago, Edmunds had a guy go under cover and work as a salesman at two dealers.

Fuck, in the parlance of our times, the haters. I saw it tonight, and I enjoyed the shit out of it. Kamala is an ever-spinning dynamo of fun, and the other two bounce off her with aplomb. Plus: cats, cats, cats!

I despise Elon Musk and all he touches, but this isn’t really a ding against Tesla, IMO. So long as you are extracting value from what you have purchased, depreciation is a purely academic concern. If you pay price X for a car, and own it for years Y, is the value of X divided by Y an acceptable rate to pay for having…

Alan Wake 2 is the single best narrative experience I’ve ever had in a video game, moving text-based Planetfall for the C64 to spot 2 for me. If I play through again (not something I do for narrative games), I’d do so on easy. The combat is fun, but can be brutal, expecially given the scarcity of save points. I don’t…

Actors get together without anyone else from production present to run lines all the time

Here’s how we know the producers are lying:

If anyone ever pays attention to my opinions... I am pretty forgiving when it comes to MCU movies and tv. I like living in a time when they can do their properties properly (I’m old enough to remember, for instance, the tv versions of Spidey and Dr. Strange..).  So yeah, I’m predisposed to like this.  

Another cracker of an episode, really excited to see what they do with the finale. This one cemented for me what I’ve been thinking since the first couple episodes with the reviewer assuming Loki had no clear motivation, that the whole show is a meditation on what you choose to do with your life, who you choose to be…

The relationship between Priscilla and Elvis was an abusive relationship that has been romanticized. While Priscilla certainly has played a role in helping that narrative, she was also the victim. And I imagine it is difficult to accurately characterize how much of a monster Elvis was when he was also the father of…

Pricilla spent years promoting her relationship with Elvis as some great love affair so Lisa Marie probably bought into that. That was what helped build the brand, the myth and kept Pricilla in the limelight.

No one is getting a mortgage for any amount without thousands of dollars in the bank, so this is obviously a case of him hiding his money to evade taxes. 

I am flummoxed that the take here is that Johnson is somehow one of those “broke boys”, instead of some mixture of the evils of Republican loopholes (and competent exploitation thereof) and the torrent of improper disclosure (and other financial) scandals even Jez has been covering

So he’s laundering money. 

This is pretty much the Libertarian wet dream, which is why we should all recoil in horror at libertarians and their insane arguments and claims.

Agreed, but this cracked me up:

This is a pretty solid list. I would move “Electric Barbarella” up a few spots, put “Rio” into #1, and put “Hungry Like The Wolf” into Honorable Mentions (which I’m thrilled this list has). I find HLTW good, not great. It’s just the song that gets the most play over the radio and if you only know one Duran Duran song…

The Feds need to jump into Mississippi feet first, just like they did in the 1960's.

If the DOJ had performed their sworn duty and arrested the treasonous insurrectionists leading the Republican Party, this wouldn’t have happened.

My wife is about to be discharged from the hospital, and to rehab, then home - with terminal cancer. “Hygge” seems a lot like our plan of action at this point, except not so much outdoorsy stuff. Although she’ll want some of that.
