I’m not seeing the downside that some others are. Everyone knows we have to stop polluting so much, and that electric cars aren’t a magic bullet. How can “young people aren’t obsessed with being able to drive a personal vehicle everywhere they go!” be seen as a bad thing? This is exactly what needs to happen! For

I’ve noticed that kids don’t really pay attention to traffic while they are passengers any more. Every second they are in the car, they are on their phones.

The red carpet video has been analyzed by experts, and it turns out that it was merely a routine slice of life for any couple arriving at a fancy event. Transcript follows.

Kinja can be a cruel mistress. Chin up - we’ve all been there.

Well, according to this KUTV article, she was making him a drug mule.

Holy shit, this poor bastard. But...is it victim blaming to point out how batshit this guy’s behaviour seems? In Greece, his wife gave him a drink he thought must have been poisoned. He tells his sister he believes his wife tried to kill him. On February 14, 2022 his wife fed him a sandwich he thought must have been

Yes. I too think it’s perfect.

Everyone, note that the OP is the fake Lizardo troll account. He’s just here to act like a dick.

I can’t believe this shit actually goes on. How does a federal court judge get shuttled on a private jet to the palatial estate of a billionaire for his swearing-in ceremony, held in the mansion’s cartoonishly-opulent library (complete with cartoonish walk-in fireplace), and no one seems to have noticed until now?

Am I imagining things? I feel like I have been noticing a quirk in some politicians’ speech in recent years, and it seems like I’m hearing/seeing it more and more lately (perhaps simply because I’m attuned to it now).

There are four provinces in Canada that operate public agencies for auto insurance. It’s based on the idea that if the government is going to require people to buy insurance for their cars, they should make sure it’s available at a reasonable price. Some people bitch about it, but I saw my car insurance bill drop by

Hang on a second. (Yes, I have become obsessed with this. I’m studying that photo like it’s the Zapruder film.) Could that be a bunch of mud (or maybe shit, given all the horses running around) clinging to the shoe? I’m having a very hard time believing that he’s wearing shoes with a big chunk missing from the bottom,

Yeah, as an actual elected head of government, I imagine they have to walk a tightrope in choosing their fits. Too much, and Polievre’s screeching “look at that spoiled fancy-boy!” and “how much did that cost the taxpayers?!?”. Too little and it’ll be “these leftists have no respect for our traditions!” (But damn,

Now playing

Glancing at the hed and the top photos, I totally thought this old chestnut was back:

While you are technically correct (which is the best kind of correct), I think the ship has sailed on the original usage. The “from whence” construction has been used so long and so widely that doing it the “right” way would simply cause confusion. I have never been fond of the “well, most people are doing it wrong so

Oh, ffs. People who don’t like gossipy, snarky, cynicism and/or pedantry for the sake of a bit, should maybe avoid columns with names like “Dirt Bag.”

Looking at that header pic, even once we account for Ireland, the arithmetic still doesn’t work out. Unless his wife, the woman who bore all those kids, truly isn’t one of Alec’s “reasons to carry on.”

People that perpetrate crimes like this are evil.”

Yeah, it’s a 2017, and I think it might have been the last one. It was certainly the last one in my city anyway. (The last year they offered an A4 manual in the US was 2018, and I don’t think there were any in Canada that year.) When I asked about manuals, the sales guy initially said they didn’t have any. Then when

Believe it or not: Audi salesman talked me out of an S4 and into an A4, and he was right.
