Love how they are concealing the new cars just like we do all the time here in Motown…

Good for NPR (and the rest of the mainstream media outlets). No bowing to kings or their lackeys.

A very scary (and comprehensive) takedown of Bari Weiss, “The Free Press” and the awful implications for the once storied CBS News:

Worthwhile report about the new EAT - Lancet report and a needed shift in diets by @kennytorrella.bsky.social
kennytorrella.bsky.social Kenny Torrella @kennytorrella.bsky.social · 27d
The new EAT-Lancet report is out and I wrote about it -- and also what I saw at Climate Week NYC: An environmental movement still cozying up to Big Meat, and still unafraid to confront scientific consensus on food, agriculture, and livestock.

Euro golf fans: please accept this American’s apology for the abhorrent behavior of the American #RyderCup fans today. They do not represent the rest of us at all! Congrats on two fantastic days of golf.

Well, #OneBattleAfterAnother is legit. Great movie.

A ★★★★½ review of One Battle After Another (2025)
93/100 An absolute banger of a movie, and somewhat of a cinematic unicorn in that it has elements of dark comedy, thriller, satire, action movie and drama woven throughout its 2 hour and 42 minute run...

Yeah, seemed like a good concept but was tough to pull off in practice. Didn’t work for me, wanted more rage.

OK… I think it might finally be time for Disney to sell their theme park division to someone who will operate them with love and care. Disney can license the IP to the new owners. I’m kinda done with this Iger-led bullshit.

Wonder if we can find out who the biggest advertisers on ABC are… that’s who you should write/protest to. Once ABC starts losing advertisers, maybe that will wake them up.

Very sorry for your loss. The grief torrent will pass, but appreciate it while it rages.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.

A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.

No more political violence.

Yeah, like a great once-in-an-age eclipse or something. Trek was indeed satisfying but man, that Foundation finale was stunning and thrilling. Plus Apple announced Season 4 is a go today.

University politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low. Good old Sayre’s Law, coined in 1973. Funny while it lasted. May it find eternal life in meme heaven.

Car ads with a single vehicle as the only thing on the road — usually set on the coast or mountains — is a longtime part of the automakers’ scam. Rarely do you see any marketing with other vehicles in the road. I believe the last one I saw was a Hyundai ad that focused on “surviving the commute.”

Funny how the “open road” they promise always ends at the same place.

A traffic jam and a car payment.

This is cool. Chicago company is making fats in lab by pulling CO2 out of air and combining it with water, and it's churning those into butter with no animals or plants involved. Bill Gates thinks lab-made oils and fats and their low carbon footprint are future of food. 🧪
