if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile
Pre-Axis Powers backing the nationalists in the Spanish Civil War be like
I’m thinking that someone at SC365 or DSC should be workshopping a “Porsche to WEC: Drop Dead” headline depending on how these talks go, but I’m imagining a Porscheless WEC/LeMans for the time being and probably no 963s in AsLMS HyperCar because of this (why run a car that can’t race at LeMans?)
That’s still like a $620,000 bare minimum mind you, and both teams would probably expect a good kickback from Porsche itself. Plus Penske wants to keep its responsibilities only so far as the manufacturer-entry relationship requires them to.
Basically Porsche could run a 2023-24 Cadillac IMSA/2023 Acura type of split program with overtures of factory support but mostly relying on two existing teams (Proton & Penske) and the question is if they’re willing to do this (the bare minimum) or tell all WEC Porsches to drop dead.

It's a small graphic design detail, but the loitering guy on TTC signage is actually in front of the red slash, casually leaning against it, making him look *unbelievably* cool.

Good job New York, now Zohran Mamdani is gonna enact SANRIO LAW (everyone gets free plushies)
WEC has really been a series of bullets directly into the feet since 2023. First the weird teams, now the privateers. Wonder how many other teams they can shed in 2026 for weird “prestige” reasons

it's so porker-over
Proton Competition is unlikely to continue its participation in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship without a significant injection of financial support and resources that would enable the customer team to run two Porsche 963s, according to team principal Christian Ried.

Any Dem electoral gains need to build up to the creation of an Untouchables squad that pulls ICE agents out of their homes, cars, Cracker Barrels, etc and perp walks them to their own holding facilities. Every single one.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.
*college reporter self. Autocorrect is weird
Needless to say there’s no stupid questions to ever ask but if you’re in a position to get something new out of someone, go for it. The industry veterans sure aren’t going to do it.
The answer there was politician enough, but it would be a nice padding quote at least.

The first serious, professional career reporter from a big city paper to come after me? Asks house rep who she’s endorsing. Gets the same response: refusal to endorse. Wasted a question on nothing.
Reminded of the time in college when a house rep (now a senator) came by as the 2020 primaries were underway. The obvs question was who she was endorsing, but given she’d already refused that at other stops, my college’s reporter self decided to ask about if she would back whoever voters decided on.

Mamdani got a humanities degree.

His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.
