Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Grosser. It screams powerful, corrupt dictator. This is the car of someone who made sure we all ingest microplastics. This is the car of someone who worked for Dupont Chemical in the 80's. This is Victor Bout’s car, a Nestle exec’s car, Dick Chaney’s car. Classy, angry, slow, methodical,…
“Unidirectional bonding strip” -B.L.
I know hydrogen powered anything is not great, but the design is a certain type of weaponized retro-futuristic cyberpunk nostalgia that taps into that “I grew up in the 80's and rode my BMX everywhere but never had enough money to put those disk wheels on it that in retrospect was probably a good thing.”
So in the Pope’s Exorcist, in the beginning he’s riding around the Vatican on a vespa because sure why not, and then at the haunted house IN SPAIN, he arrives ON THE SAME VESPA. So it is implied that he drove for 20 hours on a scooter across Europe like a demented episode of Top Gear. Is it a good movie? No. Was it…
Our king with the ridiculous hairpiece is dead, long live the king’s hairpiece. We diligently hold the line against fractious rebellion that would send the empire into lawless chaos and wanton destruction. The only way to maintain control, and ensure the imperium’s survival is to do the fascism. “But won’t that make…
Zach Snyder presents Battle from Beyond the Stars featuring:
1. Warhammer 40K
2. Laser swords
3. Sloooooooow Mooooootion
Asking all the hard hitting questions like:
1. What if the damsel in distress from the Magnificent Seven was a dude?
2. What if Magnificent Seven but in space?
3. What if Shelob was kinda hot?
4. Abs?
5. And…
A box truck can have gull wing doors right? What if the whole thing is made out of plexiglass so you can see everything inside it like early 2000's electronics. Neon green and purple semi transparent EV box trucks with gull wing doors and roof mounted t-shirt cannon turret for smaller packages. Nickname the turret “the…
The air vent directly under the steering column.
90's ford ranger size trucks
That weird hole in the back seat that was a pass through into the trunk for large items without having to fold the back seat down.
completely unnecessary slotted vents on sports cars for improved airflow
Also we used to be able to buy a car…
Someone commented that these two trucks have the same size bed. It’s not quite one to one, but truckflation is getting a bit out of hand.
I am still confused why he insisted on throwing money after the cybertruck and tesla semi-truck designs when a mid-range delivery size box truck is a near perfect use for EV’s. Fleet delivery vehicles. They’re not flashy, but they’re ubiquitous. Sell them to Fedex and UPS and everyone else that is replacing their…
I’ve always thought that whoever designed the Pontiac Trans Sport was just a huge Star Trek fan. At the time the aesthetics were so The Next Generation. Same design language as this room, down to the ribbed kickplates.
All is Full of Love
I didn’t like BoBF until I watched it again back to back. It suffered by being serialized. Same with Obi-Wan. If you look at those two shows as movies somebody had to break into episodes they’re much better. Mando does well as a monster of the week type of Wolf and Cub show by comparison.

Part 1 a child of fire

Part 3 looks like we had Neosporin, that was unfortunate
Part 4 hat time
Part 5 Zach…
The “theft” is delegating what would have been a commissioned artwork by an artist to an algorithm that produced it for free. This is not right clicking and hitting save, this is shifting the means of production away from the worker to the benefit of the corporation. Automation as a cost saving tool not of liberation.
I’m guessing that it’s going to be a bit more Indiana Jones than all this. The Rakata are long gone but they left a bunch of cool stuff laying all over the place, shrouded in mystery and probably surrounded by cargo cultists because the technology is basically magic. It’ll be Ahsoka racing the remnants of the Empire…
Easiest would be just following that Native American couple around all “slice of life.” Graham Greene talking about how he wishes they still made pop tarts and Elaine Miles making fun of him. “What’d you do today?” “Watched one of those infected chase a rabbit around the back yard for a while until it got tangled in…
