I think this is my favorite review I've written www.slashgear.com/1649201/2024...

2024 Cadillac Escalade V-Series Review: Can A 682 Horsepower SUV Ever Make Sense? - SlashGear

Cadillac's Escalade is hardly shy, but in V-Series form it's a supercharged beast. With sports car power on tap, has any hope of practicality been left behind?

Talking to the landlord of where I will be moving in November and they won’t let me build a crow’s nest. Fascists.

I heard a friend talk about Bari Weiss. Prior to that, I wasn’t entirely convinced she was a real person. I thought she was a BlueSky antagonist, not a real life antagonist. I stand corrected.

I’m late to the conversation, but the new Superman movie is good. I might be in the minority as I liked the Henry Cavill-era Superman, but the new guy is much better. He’s a lot dorkier which fits Clark Kent very well.

Mr. Terrific and Krypto were excellent as well.

Outside of scholarly or strict non-fiction works, grammar is merely a guideline and made-up words are good.

turns out, not having everything terrible about the internet beamed directly into you brain before bed helps you sleep better. Who knew?!?

Just because I proclaimed my love for the Plymouth Prowler in the SlashGear Slack, that doesn't mean I'm not still a good person.

Davis is 12 years old. Sometimes he looks much younger and other times he looks like he’s 150 years old. I think it depends on lighting and his mood.

I’m a journalist by trade. I am awful on camera and I will never be good on camera. That is a promise.

It's a sign of how many people (and journalists) live inside a media-created alternate reality that skill in the style of televised public performance associated with Hollywood actors is considered equivalent to 'authenticity'

Brendan Nyhan @brendannyhan.bsky.social · 3d

This is an obsession of mine - a huge pathology of the press is coverage suggesting that politicians who are less skilled performers are somehow less "authentic"

3D printer filament and Warhammer 40K models. Strangely enough, for unrelated reasons

Right. It’s not personal. It’s a usable framework for them.

Jordan Peterson is too Joe Rogan PseudoAcademia-brained to be able to relate anything that Christianity teaches to anything outside of his Perpetual Culture Warfare Everyone is My Ontological Enemy Brain.

Alex "The Frightful Skeleton" Hevesy @venomlance.bsky.social · 3d

Like Thiel can’t think of anything greater than himself, so he turns apocalyptic literature about the Antichrist into a personal vendetta/mission instead of a larger message to the global Church about false teaching.
