Here come all the people that weren’t going to buy one anayway proclaiming that they aren’t going to buy one.

Want to love it. Don’t love it. 

I know someone who lost her wedding band while skiing. She got out of the hobby, and a good decade later was getting rid of her old gear when she found her ring in a ski boot.

Love it. Good stuff. 

Disagree. Maybe they don’t get a gold star, but I appreciate any ally who wants to use their voice to shed light. We have to start somewhere and I feel like if we’re always shitting all over people for trying (well), we ain’t gonna go nowhere.

That’s the type of attitude that helps perpetuate poor race relations. This is what you do with your power and influence as a journalist? Shame on you.

Wait, a popular comedian using a rare nationwide platform to inform people about a historical injustice almost no one knows about should be criticized because he didn’t take direct action to rectify those injustices? Is there like a group of militant comedians somewhere trying to stage an uprising or something?…

There is a gigantic difference between handing out “cookies” and actively insulting and criticizing an ally for something you claim to want more people to do. If Tiffany Haddish told the exact same joke you’d be falling all over yourself to congratulate her for the incisive yet poignant take down of white supremacy. 

“Hey, why won’t white America acknowledge these injustices?”

No one is giving him a cookie. He’s a comedian who made a joke with a purpose. He’s not MLK, and he’s not pretending to be. Grow up.

What in your mind would have been a well written and venue appropriate joke which not only called out a grotesque moment in American history, but also elaborated on its effects on the community today, and how would that have gone over delivered by a)a white person at b)the Golden Globes?

Was Samberg asking for a cookie?

Disagree. I disagree about the cookies part, that feels like a jaded stance to take, to jump ahead to the part where we’re assuming dude did it for the clout/props.

yet another display of “Yay Progressive Whites!” with the subsequent back-patting for calling out an obviously grotesque moment in American history on national television, yet doing nothing else about its historical effects on the community today.

Easy answer: GM should design and produce better looking, higher quality parts for a car that wants to eat at the big kids table. The margins exist. It’s a matter of desire and dedication to being better, or in this case, the lack thereof. 

It’s funny you mention that. I have a background in dealer ops management before taking up a career in building software and interface experiences... with a couple OEMs as past clients, and one of them was a certain Detroit-based make. So yes, I do have an idea.

8.57 tons to be exact, if they were paid in half dollar coins. No wonder they need wagons for hauling!

My wagon - the “short” boards are 6 feet long.

And yet despite increases in sales, BMW is not selling the g21 3-series wagon here, likely because they make more profit on the made in USA X3. Sigh.

They shouldn’t be cool. They should be ordinary and practical like they are in Europe. The cool factor is exactly the pretension that is holding the wagon back in America.
