From America, Oct 1939: Super-Shell Gasoline ad from Shell

(+Shelllubri and Share-the-Road Club)

«TRAFFIC BONERS ARE ON THE WAY OUT - "Share the Road"and SUPER-SHELL both save on STOP-and-GO»
An advertisement promoting safer driving habits and the benefits of using a specific brand of gasoline to reduce stop-and-go driving. The campaign encourages courteous driving and offers a booklet and emblem. TRAFFIC BONERS ARE ON THE WAY OUT - "Share the Road"and SUPER-SHELL both save on STOP-and-GO HE'S A "SCREWDRIVER"-"Too busy" to park right-so other busy people fret and fume! ... Remember, your engine uses 3 times as much gasoline in low and second gears as in high-when a "Screwdriver" brings you to a needless stop, you pay! Millions of motorists have joined the Shell SHARE-THE-ROAD Club! "Aside from the danger to life and limb, discourteous driving habits are a major cause of today's traffic congestion. I believe about 25% of all 'stop-and-go' could be eliminated by courteous driving-by sharing the road." PUBLIC OPINION is cracking down on "Screwdrivers"-cutting down Stop-and-Go driving. Millions of motorists are helping. This crusade grows out of Shell's traffic and engineering research. First came Super-Shell Gasoline, refined to cut the cost of Stop-and-Go. Now, through the nation-wide SHARE-THE-ROAD movement, motorists are cutting the amount of nerve-racking, time-wasting, fuel-wasting Stop-and-Go! SHOW YOUR COLORS-your Shell dealer will attach the SHARE-THE-ROAD emblem to your car-give you the booklet illustrating traffic-snarling boners pulled by "Screwdrivers." No charge. On the Stop-and-Go that can't be avoided, save with Super-Shell. As for the rest-let's get rid of it! You'll be able to drive farther-with more convenience and safety!

Just because this isn't seen that often, there's a marginal risk of tornadoes tomorrow in SoCal.

Example: a transformer used to start a basement water pump. The current base tariffs on China add up to 55%. Add the coming 100% to that. This type of item also still has an old tariff of 6.6%.

I can only hope that he TACOs again because this much tariff will kill American jobs, not save them. 🧵2/2

Because some in major media continue to get this wrong...

If he doesn't TACO again, the tariff on most Chinese goods will go up to a base rate of 155% plus any "old" tariff if applicable. 🧵1/2

It amazes me that, there has been year after year of layoffs, yet iHeart still manages to find people to fire...and, of course, it never keeps the best ones.

Here’s the thing I wish everyone could hold in their minds about writers—we love em dashes. We use em dashes. We are humans and not AI. We will not be deleting our em dashes just because AI uses them too. We were here first. You can pry my em dashes from my cold dead hands. F*ck AI.

Doing some unfollowing today of people that now seem to believe that each and every battle can be won with a full frontal assault. That is madness, especially when that's exactly what the enemy wants.
