There’s a part of my brain just SCREAMING that Biden did this intentionally for this exact reason. Just a subtle little peek behind the curtain kind of saying, “yeah, I know many of you aren’t terribly excited, and some of you really don’t particularly like me. But remember competence and sanity? Wouldn’t those be…

One of my dad’s best friends is a brilliant man. He’s a wizard with mechanical systems. He’s retired, has a fair bit of money, and owns basically a small warehouse for all of the various odds and ends he’s accumulated over the years. The problem is that none of those things are 100% perfect. They’re more than…

Yeah, this exactly. If we want to get angry about anything here, it’s that we’ve allowed the American economy to consolidate so much power and money at the top, making competition below the behemoths so incredibly tight that it’s incredibly hard—nearly impossible—to start and maintain a small business unless you have…

Terry Crews, the Stacey Dash of Kimbo Slices

I wouldn’t lose sleep worrying about the accuracy of anything that comes out of McEnany’s mouth. Or the mouth of anyone that works for this administration. Nine times out of ten, it’s either a willful misinterpretation of data that the average college freshman could figure out, or it’s straight-up fabricated in the…

HURRR DURRR I EXPECT EXPERTS TO KNOW EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS BE RIGHT 100% OF THE TIME AND IF THEYRE EVER WRONG I WILL DISREGARD EVERYTHING THEY SAY AND INSTEAD TRUST SOMEONE WHO IS LITERALLY ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE THAT IS JUST HOW FUCKING STUPID I AM.

I love how in the midst of Trump being the dumbest, most racist piece or shit imaginable, other members of the GOP feel the need to occasionally raise their hands and shout “NO NO I’M REALLY DUMB AND RACIST TOO!”

In other “our president is a dipshit and his voters are just as bad or worse” news, the Trump campaign just released a video trying to scare people about all of the terrible gun violence, protests, and general unease that the country will suffer from under Joe Biden. They attempt to instill this fear by showing gun…

The worst part about this is that, if this advice was thought out, and was being delivered along with meaningful structural, procedural, and financial support, it would be great advice.

The complete and utter lack of any sort of self awareness—forget decency—is fucking painful. She gets indignant about someone else insinuating themselves into a situation that she herself had absolutely no right to insinuate herself into... and then to give him shit about wearing a mask in the middle of a fucking…

I’ve said this before, but assuming we ever come out of the other side of this pandemic (whenever it just miraculously goes away), I’m looking forward to the avalanche of lawsuits. “Did you or someone you love contract COVID-19 due to an employer’s irresponsible policies?” is going to become the new late-night lawyer…

Any survey that tells me Dodge has the best quality in the industry is absolutely not “as good a snapshot as any on where manufacturers’ build quality currently stands.”

There is no purer, simpler, or more wholesome pleasure in this world than putting your keys in the ignition and starting your car.

I realize much of this issue has to do with property values, but I’d like to pose this question: Why is it that a broken car reduces property values? (Particularly if those cars aren’t dangerous or leaky in any way). Why do people see broken (but safe) cars as “ugly”?

Ultimately, it seems like a socioeconomic thing.…

I’ve had good experience with Tire Rack themselves in the past, but be wary of which installer you use. I once chose one based purely on location and convenience, not knowing the shop’s shitty reputation and ended up having to get everything re-balanced and aligned at another because they did not only did a shit job,…

I actually snorted a little at Fred & Shaggy. Did not see that one coming, but holy shit it has my vote all week long and twice on Sundays.

Yeah I’m with Torch. If the question is best cars” and nothing else, it’s the Southwest by a mile. I don’t necessarily love all of the aspects of the local car culture (though even that is largely because there’s so much car culture that of course there are some parts of it I’m not into), but just for the preservation…

Yeah, “enthusiast-owned sports car with an aftermarket supercharger” is the absolute polar opposite of “owned by a little old lady who only drove it to church on Sundays.” This thing has been driven hard. Which is great! It’s what the car was made for. Love that. But even allowing for the fact that enthusiasts on…

Real talk: I tried re-reading it again a year or so ago and actually had to put it down, simply because our current reality feels even more surreal. Modern America made Catch-22’s absurdism seem understated. (But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still one of my two or three favorite books of all time.)
