She sucks for a whole host of reasons, but she’s not wrong. I don’t have a TikTok and I don’t want a TikTok. I don’t want to see content from people I don’t know, I want to see my friends. I especially don’t want to see produced video. On-the-fly captured video is one thing, something produced and manipulated I would…

GoT had a perfect sequel/spin-off set up with Arya sailing off to explore the world. If Maisie didn’t want to reprise the role, just hire a few other people to play the character since Arya can now change her face/appearance. Explore new places and dive into the lore of the world outside Westerose.

What’s crazy is that other rental companies are not jumping at this marketing opportunity. "Like renting cars and not getting arrested? Try Avis." Or hire the people wrongfully arrested to do the commercials, "I was wrongfully arrested in front of my children and spent days in jail because Hertz thought I stole a car…

Nice way to screw people who travel frequently for work

I think of Monaco as a really cool place for a time trial, followed by a celebratory parade. 

Such a good point! The NBC broadcast was not great at all, and you throw in the ton of ad breaks its just night and day. 

“similarly-paced cars struggled to pass each other.”

I don’t want to get into this whole thing, but will talk about one part of it:

One man is already prepared

Please can an American hosted F1 grand prix be held in a place that isn’t an average of 90+ degrees (F)? Austin, Miami, and now Vegas?

I’d much rather have Indy and The Glenn on the schedule than the Miami Dolphins parking lot and Vegas.

Neutral: Not going to count chicken before the egg hatches and the like, but post-bankrupt GM does seem to be different than pre-bankrupt GM.

How about a happy story? Last year with all the limited available booths, I missed out—like to take them to work and share. This year, Nextdoor app listed someone selling cookies, also you could donate and they had delivery to local addresses. Ordered a few, donated a few via the online system and got a confirmation…

Ugh, just let these kids be kids, stop trying to make money off of their efforts to enrich their personal lives and screwing them out of their hobby. I’ve been grateful to see the Girl Scouts in front of my supermarket regularly and doing good business, even hawking their last boxes with 10 minutes before they folded…

Great comment, and I’d like to add one more thing that Putin and Hitler failed to account for: American manufacturing

Anyone who wants to have their mind blown, and understand a lot of the context around the Russia-Ukraine war, should spend some time studying the Eastern Front in WWII. There are a ton of great resources out there, but my person favorite is Dan Carlin’s “Ghosts of the Ostfront” series as part of the Hardcore History…

That last scene in the trailer though... Chief didn’t have any kind of parachute or sci-fi looking slow-your-descent-device and I gotta say, if there’s one thing the Chief is weak to... it’s fall damage.

I like to call it malaise Era Jalopnik.
