I’ve seen Kids exactly once, back when it first hit VHS and I was 14 of 15 years old. It was more effective than any anti-drug/drinking/sex PSA could have possibly been, and it horrified me. The worst part of it, though, was that a large portion of my small town glorified it. So many underachieving white boys wanted…

My side-by-side doesn’t have turn signals, and I’d say that about half the time I’m preparing to make a turn on-road, my fingers swipe at the empty space where a stalk belongs. (And yes, I do the proper hand signals after.)

We all had this Stockholm Syndrome until smoking bans became normal. I was on a work trip down in the Dallas area pre-COVID and I dropped into a random sports bar to catch a ballgame.  I guess smoking was still allowed in this municipality because a handful of people lit up while I was there.  The odor was…

This sort of chicanery is the bread and butter of rental car companies. What chaps my ass about this particular scenario is that I’ve lost count of the number times I’ve been stuck with a smoky car. They clearly aren’t using the $400 fee to properly clean out the interior after somebody decides to smoke in one of…

I don’t disagree. The challenge here is that Trump brand politics have turned any disagreement about anything into a political wedge. Vaccines? Masks? Dietary choices? The list goes on and on. Also, the primary problem is that the Trump political MO is literally “disagreeing with whatever the other side says.”

It’s time to start putting out false flag issues.

It’s incredible how effective of a lightning rod this is. A Karen on my local Nextdoor put up a post about it and a discussion that would take place at a school council meeting. Amidst all of the outrage, the blustering Trumpians couldn’t define what CRT was, or even why it was bad, other than the vaguest notion that…

Oh man, the crappy GM models reminded me of a high school buddy with a Plymouth Horizon that had well over 300K miles and just refused to die. 

It’s all true.  I had a JK for around 3 years and I swear I replaced the windshield half a dozen times. 

This same weekend in this same metro, a hate-addled idiot used his vehicle as a murder weapon ostensibly because he didn’t like his neighbor’s sexual orientation:

MN is safe from fanatical legislation for the time being. That said, there’s a single Republican senator holding any cannabis-legalization/decriminalization legislation hostage. Last I checked, a pretty hefty majority of folks polled want to see it legalized. Ironically, the Republicans have been holding onto their…

I hope that the original Lady A comes out of this with a money bag full of Nashville cash.

It seemed laughably obvious from the start that Lordstown was almost completely dependent on Trump being president: both for hype and eventually for some sweet, sweet subsidies from the taxpayer kitty. The (former?) leadership of the company was betting heavily upon Trump getting re-elected to keep the con rolling. It…

I’d be surprised if the driver of the truck wasn’t a cop, or at least cop-adjacent. 

All you gotta do is work hard, and the rewards will come!  Have some bootstraps!  Next stop CEO money!

You underestimate the power of white GoFundMe.  She’s going to get rich off of this. 

Catalytic converter theft is a huge problem in Minneapolis, to the point that folks are installing theft deterrents (basically wire chastity belts) around them. Even that won’t stop a very-determined thief, and will probably just see them cutting up your neighbor’s exhaust instead. I know a handful of folks that have…

Neutral: Am I looking forward to getting a new car/truck one day? Absolutely.  Am I looking forward to buying one and going through the kabuki theater of financing and upsells at the dealership?  Hell no. 

I am. It usually involves a fire extinguisher.
