Arguments can be made that replying to a 54 week old comment with a handle like yours cannot be taken seriously whatsoever.

Agreed. Doesn’t matter if they’re MAGA, Bernie Bros, “My Child is an Honor Roll Student at _____”, Peace signs, or even “My Other Car Is A Starship”. More than one sticker in the back glass and/or several bumper stickers of any kind indicates this guy refuses to watch his mirrors at all.

Thanks for the slideshow, Andy. I’m not surprised that “luxury sedan” brands like Merc, Audi, Caddy and BMW make up the bulk of the list - definitely not surprised that Maserati is #1 - but it begs the question:

“...dirtbag former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone..”

Honda Accord: two brothers I knew (mis-)drove the hell out of one. Oil changes? Tire rotations? Fill up the wiper fluid? They knew none of these things. What they knew was Gas and Go! That car lasted 600K and only went through 2 catalytic converters. The rest of the car seemed indestructible.

Any inaugural big city street race will require adjustments by the locals. I remember 2008 when Singapore came back. A night race, tons and tons of brought-in flood lights and their diesel generators, but the locals understood that this would become an annual inconvenience and they’ve persevered. Night racing made…

On the bright side, Twitter/X has never been better! Community Notes is holding ads, many MSM ‘news’ outlets, and even political candidates more honest, if not (at the very least) accountable.

“The Doctor’s Daughter” was a favorite one-off episode of mine - I was hoping for an Honorable Mention. Any hopes of a sequel or even a follow-up line about Jenny gallivanting around the universe as our first female Doctor have gone for naught.

Where’s the love for quirky new shows like Dead Mount Death Play, Reborn as a Vending Machine, or My Unique Skill Makes Me OP at Level 1, or I Got a Cheat Skill In Another World?

I thought Vivek won the debate. He started strong and said some things that appeal to indies and ’small l’ libertarians. Oddly, none of them proposes any means to balance the budget.

Give Shatner some credit. His versions of Golden Earring’s “Twilight Zone”, Pink Floyd’s “Learning To Fly”, and Peter Schilling’s “Major Tom (Coming Home)“ are all as equally atrocious/bad joke funny.

Johnny Cash could have his on list. “Hurt” is his best cover but doing a rockabilly version of “Personal Jesus” and his take of “Bridge over Troubled Water” - among many others - proves that Great musicians can make any song their own.

I see a lot of elderly people in “box cars” - Cubes and xBs - because they’re awesome for folding walkers and wheelchairs. Shame they went out of fashion. I loved my xB - 280+K miles, still got 30 mpg overall, paid off the note early because it was only $17K new. If not for a lack of parts and a $8K+ repair bill I…

It’s a good first step toward my easier mecha dream of owning a Maneuver Blade from Viper’s Creed (2009) - which I consider am under-rated anime.

Might be a smart move since a verdict by a wayward judge is easier to overturn on appeal than a jury.

Thanks to everyone who reminded me that John Carter was penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, not Conan Doyle.

Exactly. In a world where unfounded accusations will get you canceled by the Court of Public Opinion, the Epstein Client List is a treasure trove to remove a bunch of influential, wealthy pedophiles from society.

Hollywood: “Look! We found out that this voice actor Rolland might have been a wife beater. For our integrity and your peace of mind, he’s been fired and will not taunt you with his acting any more.” (pp)

AI will be used by those who do not adhere to “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a Human’s mind” until Humanity is doomed to being ruled by thinking machines like Omnius/Skynet, androids, and Cymechs/cyborgs.

That’s the thing about entertainment. I’m old enough, nerdy enough, and my memory is good enough to recall so many plots/themes/tropes that they run together. The derivatives can be good too. Case in point:
